This camera is easy to operate. It didn't come with a charger and I have yet to buy one but the "low battery" has lasted me for days so far. I used this camera for my prom + prom weekend photos and could not be more happy with the end result. The photos are very clear and the flash provides great lighting. I use a micro SD card with an adapter compatible with the camera. Overall an excellent purchase.

I have not had the time to use all of this camera's features. So far, I have had no success in setting the mm/dd/yyyy nor the day/time. It does take great pictures and the zoom is operational. The camera itself looks to be in pristine condition and all accessories are present in sealed packaging. I seem to have made a very good purchase! Thank you.

I am giving this camera a "Good" rating and 4/5 for its overall performance. I went away for the Labor Day weekend and it took great pictures of things up close, far away, indoors, or outdoors. The zoom is very good and the IS is a big help when trying to keep the photos with literally no movement in them. If I had to pick out something wrong about this camera, then it would be the lack of a rechargeable battery pack. Of course, you can buy rechargeable AA batteries to help with this, but it is just something about having an actual camera as opposed to 2-3 batteries to keep up with. Although, I will say that I pair of AA batteries lasted through my trip and before the trip as well when I was getting used to the settings. Before anyone wonders, the batteries lasted with me taking superfine pictures on high settings. I also would like to have the size a little smaller; it fits into coats no problem, but jeans is definitely a no go when storing this camera. I would recommend this camera to anyone who is looking for a better performing camera than the average point-and-shoot $99 type.Read full review
i bought the canon powershot SX110 IS 9.0MP just a week ago. it is small and lightweight. i can put it in my pocket and bring it anywhere. the pros for this camera are the big display screen, the image stabiliser and the manual settings. the downside is using AA batteries. It would be better if it has lithium rechargeble batteries. overall, i am satisfied with it.
We have a digital SLR that we love, but we wanted to get something that was smaller and easier to bring with us when we went places. This camera not only fills that role, but has so many features that it has just about replaced our SLR altogether. Picture quality is excellent and the 10x optical zoom allows getting up close without any loss of picture quality. When you add the digital zoom to that it gets up to 40x zoom which brings just about anything up close. It has a fast reset time too, so you don't miss all of the "action" waiting for the last picture to be saved. With all the features packed into this point-n-shoot, it is no wonder it was selected as a Consumer Reports best buy (9/09 issue). My only complaints are that it lacks an optical viewfinder (but that's pretty rare in this category/price range) and seems to eat (2) AA batteries rather quickly. If you get one, I suggest you also get some NiMH rechargables (I found a Cannon 4AA NiMH & charger for $21), and a larger SD card (it only comes with a 512M card). It's still an outstanding deal! If I had to do it over again, the Cannon PowerShot SX110 would still be my choice by far.Read full review
I did my homework before I bought this camera. My goal was to find a good digital compact "happy snap" camera for my personal use. I read the various reviews and user opinions and narrowed my search to a few cameras. I didn't want the dainty small digital cameras because I injured my left hand and I didn't have the normal dexterity to comfortably grip anything that small. The ideal camera for me was something about the size of my old point and shoot film camera. I checked out the supposedly improved Canon SX120 at my camera store and liked the feel of the camera in my hand. But, the reviews and user opinions of the updated SX120 weren't as impressive as the reviews for last year's SX110 model. I finally picked up a refurbished Canon SX110 on eBay at a very reasonable price. As a die hard old school SLR film camera that moved on to a digital SLRs, I like the SX110's option of adjusting to the manual mode where I can adjust the shutter speed, f/stops, ISO sensitivity, megapixel size and other features. I also flip up the flash when I want it. I don't need the 12 or 14 megapixel cameras that are the rage today. Unless you are making 16 x 12 inch prints or plan to crop a face out of a crowd shot, that much megapixel capability is overkill. Don't forget you may want to download these images over the internet to a drug store photo department or photo service. Your download times will be longer with larger megapixel images but without significant quality improvement, especially if you're only ordering 3 x 5 inch or 4 x 6 inch prints. My brother gave me sage advice on digital cameras. As a longtime owner of a digital camera, he recommended finding a camera with long optical zoom, not one that is 3x and digitally enhances to longer focal lengths. He said the picture quality wasn't always there when the images are digitally enhanced. The SX110 has a 10x optical zoom lens that will focus in close to about 10 inches. I can see the individual hairs on my dog in the images. The pictures are so sharp they feel like they want to jump out of the computer monitor. If you want a something small, the Canon SX110 not a camera that will easily slip into your pocket. I don't mind because I never liked the small miniature gears that control the zoom lens in the small digital cameras. With my wife's small digital camera, I always had problems zooming in and out to find the perfect lens focal length. My larger SX110 has bigger optical zoom lens gears inside and allows me better control of the image I want. I love my Canon SX110. I just hope it lasts as long as my very old film cameras.Read full review
This is a lightweight yet solid little camera. It takes wonderful pictures for its class and has a super zoom on it. It can be set manually or automatic, the menus & instructions are very easy. The large LCD screen is very nice. It has many features that one would expect on a more expensive camera. The movie mode is a nice feature but of course the quality there is not as good as the stills. I purchased it because it seems like a very good camera for the price, having lots of useful features in a convenient package. We liked it so much on vacation that my husband got one too when we got home. Definately would reccomend it.
As I write this review this camera has been discontinued. However, if you can find one buy it. Why this camera? The SX110 is everything you could want in a point and shoot camera. Programmed functions for people who want a camera that is easy to use. Manual functions for those of us who like to control the shot. Image stabilization to control the camera shake that is inevitable with a small lightweight camera. 10X optical zoom. I have captured the most amazing shots at basketball games using the 10X zoom. In low light situations, this Canon's tele zoom actually outperformed my Nikon D80 with a 18-200 lens. The lag between shots is negligible. The downside- This is not a rugged camera. The lens and lens cover construction are delicate and a good bump will render the camera inoperable. The size is larger and a bit heavier than other cameras in its class. Like most cameras in this size range it does go through batteries quickly. I use rechargeables and that seems to help a bit. I looked at the specs of the comparable cameras with a 10X zoom and this one kept coming out on top. There is a newer version, but I say, "Canon - bring back this version in a more rugged case!"Read full review
Compact, 10x zoom lens, optical image stabilization, PASM modes, good sharpness, well-implemented face detection, good battery life. SX110IS would make a great family camera, as it can easily accommodate the interests of everyone from first-time beginners to experienced enthusiasts. A great, all-around digicam. Image quality is very good - with excellent colour, with high levels of saturation, contrast and detail. The only image problems were higher than average noise when the ISO setting is raised above ISO200, and higher than average purple fringing. There was also some red eye in group photos, but overall red-eye was generally quite low. I would recommend the PowerShot SX110 IS to anyone who wants a relatively compact (but not the smallest around) and affordable super zoom camera with full manual controls for picture-taking, mostly in well lit conditions.Read full review
The camera has an excellent performance in a variety of lighting conditions. It has a lot of different automatic modes. Image stabilizer does a good job, distortion pretty low for a camera this size, noise reduction not heavy handed. Battery performance is good - a 2000+ mAh battery recommended because a camera with big LCD, decent flash, zooming etc is going to consume power. But with 2 pairs of batteries you must be good to go. Plus there is always the possibility of picking up AA batteries from anywhere in the world. Big, bright LCD display allows choosing pictures to keep without downloading it to the computer. I've found the only problematic feature of this camera. This is time required for a recharge flash. The camera is not able to shot frequently with a flash fired. So, you must be patient if you use this camera indoors or with low light. It is very good camera for beginners.Read full review
