Great camera with lots of goodies

Got this camera to my wife for her art works. This camera has very nice features; high zoom, image stabilization, I was able to get very good images in almost darkness with max zoom and flash from 25'. The regular batteries are a real confidance for me, not to get stuck without batteries just when I need more power, I was going to by the Ricoh R8 which is a great product as well, but because it has a Li-ion custom battery, I have chosen to stick to normal, easy to get batteries, which can be also rechargable if I want. be sure to have on hand some extra batteries if you are going to places which might "make" you take many photos. Even with automatic settings, my wife gets beautiful photos, not to mention the manual settings which can give much more control on the result. I would like if the camera had rubber where the hand grips it like in the Ricoh R8, but this is a minor thing.
I would buy the same one for my self as well.

Another winner from Canon....

This Canon SX110IS is as great as all the other reviewers say it is so I won't bore you by repeating all it's great features. I will only bring up a couple of minor things about this camera.
Wish List....
1. The SD card slot was not in the battery compartment.
2. It would be nice to able to "dedicate" the print button (top left on back of camera) to video start and video stop like the Canon ELPH SD1000 is able to do. Turning the wheel to video is inconvenient when you want to start filming instantly.
3. Although I don't dislike having AA batteries powering the camera, I would like a solid long lasting rechargeable battery like my SD1000 has. I am suspicious of this 400 shot capability with 2 AA's.
The above are minor items and in no way take away the quality this camera has. This camera has nice to have features and not a bunch of silly never used features. I love the automatic lens cap, ability to review shots without turning on the whole camera. I love the solid feel and look of this camera, it's well built and small enough to carry around in your pocket or purse. The pictures it takes are Canon quality pictures and to me that means first rate just like my Canon Rebel XT. I've tried other cameras and they are good but to me Canon is the best.

Really fine camera for the price (4.5 stars)

What I love about this camera is it's just plain easy to pick up and use, but it's got a load of advanced features that you can learn as you go.

Pick up the SX110 and you can feel how solid and stable it is in your hands. Okay, it's not the new thinner camera, but it still fits nicely into a shirt pocket.

Right off the bat, all the controls are up top and pretty clearly marked and understandable. Good for Canon. I looked at another brand and someone had to clue me in on what "BS" meant in terms of photography. It means Best Shot, by the way, but should I have to read the manual to find that out? The 'easy' settings should be intuitive and they are on the Canon.

The zoom is 10X optical, which means you're going to get clearer zooms than you would with a digitally produced effect. That ends the jagged edges.

The 3" LCD is clear as a bell. Colors are sharp and they stay that way in the pictures. In order to defeat the automatic white balance correction, you have scene selectors for sunset, snow scene, and night scene among others.

Anti-shake means the camera will correct for tremors in your hands. This is great if you're like me and take a lot of scenes from a passenger side window.

A huge plus is the camera operates on two AA size batteries. Trust me, this is a very good feature. We once got ready to go on a whale watching cruise only to discover our fancy camera's proprietary batteries were DOA. What to do? No camera store in the vicinity. We were lucky to find a disposable film camera to take semi-decent shots, but if our camera took AA's we could have bought replacement batteries right off the wharf.

The only drawback in this camera is the proximity of the flash to the lens. Even with red eye on, photos of my Siamese cat looked wrong. We finally took pictures in room light with 1/10th of a second exposure counting on the anti-shake and got EXCELLENT shots of the cats.

If you're looking for a portable camera that's easy to use and supply, this little Canon is a great camera to look at. For the money, the features and quality of pictures are excellent!

Phenomenal pictures, easy to use

Ordered this as a gift for my folks. Clear crisp pictures. Autoshoot mode is great. Image stabilizer works like a charm. Took a picture at a fairly long distance of an AV-8B Harrier hovering over a runway. No blur whatsoever. Great camera.

Great zoom, controls and image quality

I have owned this camera for 1.5 months, and am very happy. I am frankly amazed at the flexibility and image quality from a camera at this price point that fits in your pocket. I find myself grabbing it whenever I go for a walk. At a store I compared it to the Panasonic TZ5 and a Nikon super zoom in the same price range. In shots without flash the Canon had far better image quality. (The TZ5 is nifty, but the image quality is mediocre: Its noise reduction really smears the colors.)

The 10X zoom lens is great if you don't mind a small amount of fringing on high contrast edges. The controls are logically laid out and easy to use, yet there is comprehensive manual controls if you need it. The image sharpening is a little overdone for my taste: I recommend shooting in P mode using a custom color profile with the sharpening turned down to the lowest level. The problem is that Canon chose to go light on the noise reduction (a decision with which I agree), but the default sharpening tends to turn low-level noise into "spiky" artifacts.

I wasn't expecting much from the video mode, but I must admit that it does well, even in low light conditions, and the sound is surprisingly good. It is a nuisance that you cannot adjust the optical zoom in video mode, since the digital zoom really degrades image quality.

It obviously still has a relatively small sensor with limited dynamic range, so don't expect silky smooth DSLR-like images at medium/low lighting, but at reasonable light levels the images are beautiful.

Highly recommended.
