Loving our new SX110IS so far!, November 17, 2009
I ordered this item to be used as our new company camera. It has only recently arrived so I have only used it on several occasions, however, I am already impressed. The camera is easy to use and takes great pictures. I especially love to 10X optical zoom. The only negative I see thus far is the battery life.
Good deal, November 9, 2009
Good point and shoot camera. Better than the previous model year. Does drain batteries pretty quick though
Great Camera! Worth the $!, October 26, 2009
Great Camera! Worth the $! Great auto features so you never miss that perfect moment. The zoom is amazing!
Nice Pocket Camera., October 11, 2009
Takes decent photos for a pocket camera. Seems to over expose when left to its own devices. Claims that battery life is poor are exaggerated. I have lithium batteries in it and have taken over 880 photos and 5 videos with no change in batteries. Timed shutter functions make night photography a breeze.
Amazing video, October 4, 2009
I am pleased with the photos. Of course the quality isn't quite as good as with my Canon SLR, but still very good for a point and shoot. What really amazed me is the quality of the video. I was thinking about buying a new video camera, but I bought a 4 GB card and use this instead.

The Canon PowerShot SX110 IS ranks last in Grunin's list of nine recommended ultra-zooms, but each camera gets 3.5 out of five stars. The price is right and the images are good, she says -- but the body can be slippery, and there's no zoom during movie mode.

Testers Mike Pasini and Stephanie Boozer put the Canon PowerShot SX110 through the paces, looking at key factors like design, features and image quality. The SX110 earns accolades for high versatility and good image quality, although it "loses ground" to its sibling, the Canon PowerShot SX10 IS, in ISO shooting.

While Steves-Digicams.com thoroughly tests cameras, product comparisons are rare. Still, the Canon PowerShot SX110 IS is considered a great value for the money, with excellent performance and ease of use and "beautiful images" at ISO 200 or below.
