Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon PowerShot SD110 3MP Digital Elph with 2x Optical Zoom
Customer Review: Why size is important... and why the Elph is awesome...
Summary: 5 Stars
If you're not frequently taking pictures of your friends, family and life's minor events... If you wish you had lots of pictures of people through the years, but you don't... It may not be all your fault! It could just be that your current camera is too big!
Even a relatively compact digital camera gets left home when you're heading out for some frisbee in a t-shirt and shorts. And forget it if you're going to a formal event and that little black purse of yours barely holds your driver's license, some cash and a Chapstick!
If you want to take more pictures of your life, get a digital Elph.
In the days when I could not carry my camera in my pocket, I would not bring a camera to most "events". I eventually realized that I had hardly any pictures of the people, informal events and spontaneous moments that make up most of my life.
Oh, I had a great SLR camera. And I took some great shots of Diamond Head and Big Ben! But I almost always made a conscious decision to leave that camera home when I was just going out with friends or just plain didn't feel like carrying it (e.g. at football games, casual parties, birthday dinners with friends, camping, etc.) In other words, camera size dictated -- in advance -- that none of those moments were going to be photographed!
Enter the Elph. I received an APS Elph and all that changed. Even with its leather "case" (it was more like a sleeve), the Elph fit in my pocket. My coat pocket. My shirt pocket! Even my front jeans pocket!
These Elph cameras are literally the size of a pack of smokes.
Now I have an SD110 digital Elph. It lives in my coat pocket. I take pictures of things without any internal debates (e.g. Should I bring the camera? Is this worth a photo? How many pictures are left on the roll? Blah, blah blah.). Now, I just take the picture! If I want to keep it, I keep it. If I don't, I delete it. If I want to print it, I print it. If I want to send it via email, I send it.
For me, it was all about the size. As such, the Elph was the perfect choice.
The other reviewers have covered eveything, but I'll add a few comments just to back them up.
As for specs, the 3.2 megapixel, 2x optical zoom is just fine for the casual shutter-bug. That made the SD110 a good choice for me because it was adequate and still relatively inexpensive. The resolution is photo quality and that's all I need. As for the 2x instead of 3x optical zoom, if I want to zoom closer, I use my anatomical zoom (i.e. I step closer to my subject). But if that's not good enough for you, there are Elphs galore to meet your needs.
An Elph is small, right?, so it doesn't take regular batteries. That means you can't run to the store for batteries if it goes dead. All I'm saying is that, unlike cameras that use, say, AA rechargable batteries and, therefore, regular batteries in a pinch, the Elph requires some forethought. I.e., if you're traveling or you think your battery is not going to make it through that all-day event, plan ahead. Maybe get a second battery and/or throw the charger in the car and/or get a car charger, etc. After market accessories are available and are a lot cheaper than the Canon's.
The Elphs take great pictures, have great automatic features and plenty of manual options if you're so inclined.
The $5 leather case (amazon.com) meant for the APS Elph will do just fine. It doesn't fit like a glove, but it's only $5!
As with any camera, forget the 16MB card. Plan on getting a 256MB (on the web, they can be had for as little as $20 with some rebates). 256MB will seem like more than you'll ever use!
I also recommend that you get a card reader eventually (around $20). That way, you can download, edit, and upload back to the card (for that trip to the store for prints) without hooking the camera up to the PC.
The included ZoomBrowser software seems more cumbersome than other software I already have, but it works.
Good luck!
Description of Canon PowerShot SD110 3MP Digital Elph with 2x Optical Zoom
CL) INT) CANON POWERSHOT SD110 DIGThe ultracompact and highly stylish Canon PowerShot SD110 updates its predecessor, the SD100, with Canon's new Print/Share button, which helps you quickly send your photos directly to your printer or upload them to your PC. The SD110 also features 3.2-megapixel resolution; 2x optical zoom; nine-point artificial-intelligence autofocus (AiAF) for accurate, automatic focus; and a movie mode with sound.
Optics and Resolution
 |
| The PowerShot SD110 can create images of intense color and terrific quality--even in your biggest prints. |
Movie Mode
The PowerShot SD110 lets you capture high-resolution 30-second video clips with sound at 640 x 480 (10 frames per second). You can also capture 3-minute movies at lower resolutions: 320 x 240 and 160 x 120 (both at 15 frames per second).
More Features
- Quick Shot function reduces the time lag between pressing the shutter button and starting exposure
- Nine-point artificial-intelligence autofocus (AiAF) for fast and sharp images, even with off-center subjects
- 1.5-inch low-temperature polycrystalline silicon TFT color LCD (118,000 pixels)
- Real-image optical zoom viewfinder
- Built-in flash with auto, redeye reduction, and slow sync modes
- Record a voice memo of up to 60 seconds and attach to images
- Shutter speed: 1/2000-15 seconds
- White balance control: Auto, preset (daylight, cloudy, tungsten, fluorescent, fluorescent H), or custom white balance
- 2x to 10x zoom into captured images while reviewing via LCD
- Continuous shooting: 2.2 frames (maximum 12 images)
- DIGIC Imaging Processor: While much technical discussion of digital cameras centers around the optics and the CCD sensor, the complex task of image rendering is the job of the image processor--the "brains" of a digital camera. Canon's latest, exclusive DIGIC imaging processor significantly enhances digital camera performance in numerous areas. DIGIC's high-speed signal processing is combined with high-capacity buffering to give Canon digital cameras fast response and continuous shooting capability unmatched by other digital cameras. DIGIC delivers longer battery life and beautiful, rich color rendition with far fewer white saturation problems. And DIGIC's unequaled precision delivers clear, noise-free images that are demonstrably superior.
- iSAPS Technology: Canon iSAPS (Intelligent Scene Analysis based on Photographic Space) technology dramatically improves the performance of AF (autofocus), AE (autoexposure), and AWB (auto white balance). By analyzing a huge volume of photography data accumulated over 60 years and the manufacturing of over 150 million cameras, Canon engineers arrived at statistical relationships among focal length, focus distance, scene brightness, and other factors. Equipped with this "foreknowledge," Canon PowerShot cameras can optimize AF/AE/AWB settings for any given scene more rapidly and more effectively.
- Multipoint AiAF: Canon's wide-area, multipoint AiAF (artificial-intelligence autofocus) automatically selects one or more focusing points based on factors such as subject position and motion. AiAF works in conjunction with iSAPS Technology to more quickly and accurately achieve autofocus under a wide variety of shooting conditions. You get fast, accurate AF whether you hold the camera horizontally or vertically, whether you have stationary or moving subjects, with off-center subjects, and even in low-light or low-contrast situations.
Advanced Printing
The camera features Canon's Print/Share button, which illuminates when a successful connection is made between the camera's USB port and a PictBridge-compatible printer or Windows PC. When it is lit, pushing the button will print the currently displayed image (based on the printer's default PictBridge or Direct Printer settings) or automatically transfer the image to your PC. When connected to a Canon compact photo printer, the camera/printer combination allows for "movie-prints" (sequential frames of a movie clip printed as thumbnails on a single card) and photo IDs (passport-style ID photographs).
Direct Photo Printers
For large-format desktop printing, try one of the Direct Photo Printers which allow you to print directly in one of two ways: plugging the compatible PowerShot camera into the Direct Photo Printer using the supplied cable, or simply inserting a memory card with a supplied adapter. You can also connect the printer to your computer, for more options. Print high-resolution, borderless images in postcard size or as 8.5 x 11s within minutes.

Storage and Transfer
Images and video are stored on tiny Secure Digital (SD) memory cards; the camera is also compatible with MultiMedia cards (MMC). The included 16 MB card holds approximately 21 images at the large/fine setting. Images can be downloaded to either a Mac or PC via USB 1.1 connectivity, which means the camera can be connected to any USB-based computer running Windows Me/2000/XP or Mac OS 8.6 or later without your having to install any software.
Power and Size
The camera is powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery (NB-3L). With the LCD on, you will get approximately 210 shots; with the LCD off, 550 shots. It measures 3.35 x 2.20 x 0.94 inches and weighs 5.82 ounces without batteries.
What's in the Box
The package contains the PowerShot SD110 digital camera, a 16 MB Secure Digital memory card, a rechargeable lithium-ion battery (NB-3L), a battery charger (CB-2LU), USB and A/V cables, and a wrist strap. The software supplied on the CD-ROM includes the browsing and printing programs ZoomBrowser EX (Windows) and ImageBrowser (Mac). Other software includes PhotoStitch and the photo- and movie-manipulation programs ArcSoft PhotoStudio and VideoImpression.
