Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon Powershot SX110IS 9MP Digital Camera with 10x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Black)
Customer Review: I love the zoom
Summary: 5 Stars
This is exactly the camera I wanted. Easy to use and it takes high quality pictures indoors and out. I recently went to Monster Jam and was able to take close up pictures of the trucks in action from the upper deck of the Metrodome. This camera will be an excellent tool for taking shots at my sons' sporting events. This is a significant upgrade over my old Canon Powershot A70. Autofocus is faster, shutter speed is faster, the zoom rocks, and the large LCD screen is handy for scrutinizing your shots. My only negative would be the requirement to manually flip up the flash when needed. The camera does let you know when the flash is needed, but I'm used to having a total autoflash. Just something I have to get used to.
Update: I've had this camera for a year now and still love it more than ever. One slight drawback to add: It only takes 2 AA batteries, so I had to purchase some newer high quality rechargeable batteries (Eneloop) to get decent life on a single set of batteries. Works great with the new batteries now.
Customer Review: Simply Awesome!
Summary: 5 Stars
OK, I admit it. I am just a regular person who has a dream of being a great photographer some day. Well, I think this is the camera that will help me do just that. Right now, I can use easy mode to take totally awesome pictures. I took a zoom picture at the airport to see how it worked, and you can almost read the names on the luggage tags! My pictures out of the airplane window looked professional. And as I figure stuff out, this camera grows with you. It does all kinds of amazing things, so I will never outgrow it. I was afraid I would miss the viewfinder. Not at all. I even forgot it doesn't have one. The screen is better anyway. I have glasses, and no more bumping the viewfinder into my glasses!
Like I said, I'm no expert. I can't go into detail about pixels and all the settings, and camera noise. But I WILL learn! In the meantime, I can still take great pictures. I am soooooo happy.
A tip: Get the black Tamrac bag that goes with it. You'll want it!
Customer Review: 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.
Customer Review: A Flexible Camera takes Great pictures
Summary: 5 Stars
I've always struggled with getting good pictures in a variety of challenging lighting requirements. The Canon Powershot SX110IS 9MP Digital Camera with 10x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Black) provides a great balance between total control and total automation. Whether in dark environments or overly brilliant (great shots of snow), a clear picture has been easy to obtain.
I've used the camera a bit for video. Unfortunately the microphone does not have the greatest quality. It would be nice to zoom during the video but I understand the noise concerns. So it is just as well that it doesn't zoom during video shoots.
This camera provides the features of an SLR in a very compact camera which is critical in my application. I will be interested to see how it holds up in my sometimes rugged travel environments.
Customer Review: Just Gets Better
Summary: 5 Stars
My Powershot S2 IS 5MP w/12x Optical Image was fabulous. It was stolen and I was torn between compactness of SX110 IS or the power of the SX10 IS. The SX10 is even larger than the S2 IS and not something that could be slipped into a moderately sized purse. Face it, when traveling, you want the least amount of junk to lug around.
Every Canon I've owned produces superior photos with each generation. I prefer to point, shoot and produce Ansel Adams quality photos but I know that doesn't happen all that often. But the photos from my last trip were just astounding and I had had no time to experiment with the camera.
My only comment is that shooting in lower light conditions, the angle of the camera can really make a difference in the colors picked up by the sensors. Since it is a visual thing, you are in control of the outcome.
By far the most user friendly Canon I've owned.
