Customer Review: Best Camera for Under $200
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a amateur photographer who has been using this camera for two years now and it is hands down the best camera out there for the price. I bought two more of the SX120IS version for family because they were so impressed with what my SX110IS could do. The 3.0" screen is gorgeous and huge compared to most. The 10x optical and 40x digital zoom allow me to get almost any shot I want. My friends with DSLRs have trouble getting as good of pictures as I do because of my ability to zoom. The picture quality is also perfect and the colors are all so bright and vibrant. I like the AAs because I was able to get a set of 4 rechargeable's which give me 200+ shots a pair. If I ever run out of juice on the go, AAs are very easy to find. The SD card slot is also nice because the cards are cheap for a large one and SD is becoming so universal.
I wanted a camera that I could carry around in my pocket, with good zoom and very good picture quality. This camera was the ticket and I would buy another in a heartbeat. A friend bought the Canon S5 for much much more and mine takes the same picture quality, has significantly better zoom and is much more straight forward to use.
Pros:
Price
Image Quality
Zoom!
Large 3.0" LCD Display
Universal AAs and SD Card
Easy to Use
Cons:
You're still reading this and haven't started to enjoy one yet.

The latest offering from canon- Canon Powershot SX110IS 9MP Digital Camera with 10x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Black) is great for the money you spent on it. I have been using this camera for the past 2 months and its just marvelous! It has an easy mode which makes it seem like child's play (useful for oldies, my gf loves it). The Program, Manual, Tv etc modes are great for photography enthusiasts like me. The telephoto lens accounts for great pictures. The SX110IS has modes for almost every kind of picture, be it a sunset or foliage, snow or fireworks. Whatever your need, its got it. The interface is pretty simple to use and follows previous canon models which is good since i owned an A560 before. It is lightweight, sleek enough to slip in your jacket pocket. For a camera with 10X zoom that is a big thing. The zoom works great and accounts for amazing closeups.
I would recommend this camera to everyone I know. I'd suggest you get a PSC-100 case for it along with a tripod. The case doesn't have any pockets but that keeps the sleek advantage of the camera alive.
The only con I can think of is the medium-low battery life due to the really large LCD screen, which is awesome btw. Just buy a couple of pairs of extra rechargeable batteries and you're good to go!
Customer Review: An Amazing Camera!
Summary: 5 Stars
This camera is my first venture into the world of digital photography, although I used to be an advanced amateur in the older film photography. I had all kinds of lenses and my own darkroom. Finally I could see the writing on the wall, however, and realized that I had to go digital. I am glad that I selected this camera. It has an amazing variety of settings, most of which I haven't learned yet. But that is no drawback at all, since it works so well in the "Auto" or "Easy" settings. So it is the best of both worlds: I can use it as a simple point and shoot, or I can gradually work into the complexities and all the capabilities that this little masterpiece boasts. So far, results have been very satisfactory, both for outdoor shooting and for indoor use, both with and without flash. I have experimented with the 10x zoom, which works great, thanks to the image stabilization. I tried a movie clip of my dog, and it is perfect. Currently my wife and I are house hunting, so I take the camera along and capture views of the houses inside and out so that we can remember which house is which. This is a great help in keeping them from all running together. I am definitely enjoying my SX110is very much. Now I do have one minor quibble: the camera comes with a 32 MB memory card--32 MB! That is hardly enough to even try the camera out. Come on, Canon--you can do better than that!Customer Review: This is a powerful, well priced digital camera
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this camera after my previous Canon Powershot digital camera was stolen at a construction site. This is my 3rd Powershot and to say that Canon has a winner in this series would be an understatement. The current model is a powerhouse. 9 MB file size, a 10x optical zoom giving you the same view as a 550 mm 35 mm camera lens lets you really pull images in from almost any vantage point. The image stabilizer is also a great tool as there is no visible blurring due to hand shake. The only issue for a really great camera is battery life. The first set of batteries, the ones that came with the camera ran out fairly quickly, granted my 10 year son was shooting movies and then reviewing them over and over again, but still. This is the first digital camera that allows for the use of AA batteries off the shelf which in theory shouldbe convenient except that they really don't last very long compared to the rechargable batteries that usually come with these cameras. As a result a sprang for rechargable batteries and a charger and then batteries seem to last a bit longer. Only time will tell so we will have to wait and see.
Overall I am very happy with this camera and I think that you will be as well. Also the black colering is very cool.
Customer Review: Another winner of a camera by Canon!
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm a Canon fan, no doubt about it -- and this camera is yet another reason why. Canon continues to make high quality cameras, packed with features, for a reasonable price. I previously owned a Digital Rebel SLR (300D) and a pocket Powershot S410. The S410 was starting to show its age, and I was tired of dragging out the big 'ole SLR just to take a random picture or two here or there. I decided it was time to replace both cameras with a single camera that can offer me a lot of the best features of both of the previous cameras.
The 10x zoom on this camera is fantastic. This is a longer zoom range than I had on my normal "walk-around" SLR lens on my Rebel. It will definitely come in handy when walking around outdoors. The 9mp sensor creates nice quality photos. Yes, the noise level in higher ISO photos can be noticeable, but frankly that is kinda expected in most smaller cameras with smaller sensor sizes -- it's the nature of the beast. The size of the camera is great. Its larger than my S410, but still small enough that I can toss it in my jeans pocket and walk around with it if I want. The screen on the back is huge and quite nice. Its also nice to have a 640x480 @ 30fps movie mode, though I highly doubt I'll use it very often.
