Summary: Easy to use
Review: I have had this camera for a year now and it has been one of the best things I have bought. I have taken many photo's of the kids and they have printed beautifully. I really like the software - its easy to use. Other reviewers have had issues with the battery - mine lasts for ages but I don't use the LCD too much to review my shots. One complaint Canon should include a case also it does take time to turn on and off - you have to press the on/off button for a while and the camera doesn't always come on first time - I have missed a few shots because I thought the camera was on and it wasn't.

Summary: Great Camera!
Review: I did a lot of research before I bought this camera, and it was worth the wait. The photos and digital movies (with sound!) look much better than any of the other cameras in it's class, with Nikon coming in as a close 2nd. You can play the movies or view photos on a computer or on any TV with AV jacks. You can also take the card to any photo developer (or email the photos) and get beautiful prints made, too. The built-in microphone records audio for the movies with remarkable clarity. It has a cool "Stitch Mode" to take photos that you can later "stitch" together with the included software to make great panoramas and 360° Quicktime VR movies. The software makes it very easy to do with great results. I've had numerous friends who saw a movie from this camera and say "Wow, you made that movie on your digital 'still' camera??" If for some reason my Canon S110 ever got smashed in an accident or fell in a river etc., I would definately replace it with the same make and model. I highly recommend it. As with all digital cameras, make sure to get a larger memory card and an extra battery so you can get the most out of it.

Summary: I thought this camera was better than it is
Review: When I first bought this camera, I was blown away by the high quality pictures, small size, and sexy stainless steel case. I read rave reviews, Initially, I loved it. What a great camera!!! But then I felt differently.Well, I've had the camera quite some time now, and it's going on eBay this week. Here's why: 1. When on for a while, the case gets hot. And I mean HOT. At first, I thought it was just a minor thing, but it actually gets a bit uncomfortable. 2. The battery pack stinks. It doesn't last long, and extra batteries are outrageous to buy. I want a camera that uses AA or AA rechareables. At least I can replace those batteries for much less money if one goes bad. 3. The 2" LCD display makes you think images are closer than they appear, but when you snap the pic, lo and behold, the images are much farther away. You have cut off the top of people's heads and feel in order to get a good close shot. The viewfinder is a bit better. 4. My biggest problem about this camera is the long, long delay to snap a picture!! I have missed every instantaneous shot since I have owned it. You just can't "point and click". Now I really don't know if this is a symptom of all digitals, but I am told that it is not. I have a young son, who won't sit more than a fraction of a second, and I swear every shot his eyes are half open or head twisted the wrong way. The long shutter time is a real nuisance. 5. The small size, in my opinion, is a great grab. "Hey, drop it in your pocket, take it anywhere". At first inspection, that seems true, but guess what, you can't just "drop it in your pocket". What are you going to do? Sit on it? And a shirt pocket? Forget it. It weighs too much, and is annoying. Small size means small buttons means small LCD screen. In this case, I've decided that a little bigger is a lot better. Think twice before you get sucked in like I did. Anyway, I hope this honest review from someone whose had this camera for a while helps steer those wary buyers to another model. Othewise, is small is driving you, this is the one. And 2.1Giga resolution is stellar!!! For the average joe (like me), any higher resolution is probably throwing money away.

Summary: Practical Camera - Some Problems
Review: I use this camera for professional usage. Since we have a small budget we decided with a cameras priced only under $$$ including accessories. The powershot S110 is overall a good camera for personal use. The quality of the images are good, the zoom lense and the compact size are great. We did encounter several problems. The battery life is rather short, and the camera does NOT come with a power adapter so that you can use the camera while it is charging. This was a severe inconvenience, because we had to spend an additional $$$ on a power adapter. The photos also tend to have a yellow tint, which can easily be fixed with an editing software, but if you aren't too fimilar with photoshop or programs like it, you will have a yellow tint to many of your pictures. The images load quickly onto the computer. Memory life is good, if you set your image resolution to the lowest size you can store up to 80 or so photos. Though if you plan to take this traveling with you then invest in a memory card and a spare battery. The camera is reasonably priced in my opinion, but the accessories are very expensive, so price that in when you consider this camera.

Summary: Best camera I ever owned.
Review: K0best camera I ever owned. OK. It's not perfect. Pictures come out a bit yellow when taken indoors. The flash overexposes a bit. Pictures aren't as sharp as the G1. But I love this camera. I can throw it in my pocket or purse and it's always available. It is easy to use and starts up pretty quickly. It's small, but not so small that the buttons are hard to use. The case is durable and controls intuitive. I also have the water resistant case and use this camera while kayaking and snorkeling. I love popping out the memory card and having the instant gratification of pictures I can see. I love sharing my pictures on the net. I have a Canon G1 and I've had various Nikons and Sonys both digital and film cameras. The G1 beats this S110 for image quality but I don't like to carry it around. I've had one of these cameras for over a year. It's the most fun camera I ever owned. Addendum: A word of advice: don't bother with Canon's drivers. Get a small usb reader for the memory card and if you have Windows 2000/xp or a Mac the operating system will automatically detect the pictures and you can easily copy them over. Canon's Image Browser is of value if you have a G1 or G2 and take pictures in RAW mode because you need to convert them, but for this camera you'll be a lot better off not bothering with Image Browser and using other Photoediting software.

Summary: Excellent small camera, great for FOOD CLOSE-UPS
Review: My wife and I have an unusual hobby, we take photos of our food when we go out to dinner. Then we post them on our web site, along with food notes and restaurant commentary. The PowerShot 110 is a great camera for this. It's small enough that it sits on the table unobtrusively, not getting in the way of what is usually too many plates and glasses. More importantly, it takes very clear close-ups of the food, something our previous digital camera had a lot of problems with. The difference is the low-light focus assist; it's a small beam of light that the camera can emit and shine on the subject, which helps it focus the lense in low-light situations -- extremely common in restaurants, especially the nice ones. And it has a Macro (close-up) mode, which also helps. Another problem we had with our previous camera was over-flashing. Even on the lowest setting, we had to cover the Mavica's flash partially with our finger to take a picture that wasn't over-exposed. The PowerShot is much better at using the right flash level, and not over-exposing our food.

Summary: Significant improvement over the S100
Review: I've seen images online and ones taken by friends of mine that own the S100 and the images would often have a bluish tint. I haven't had that problem with the S110. It does not produce a quality as high as larger 4 Megapixel cameras, but atleast at this size, you can carry it around more often. I've owned it for a year and I've taken around 3 GBs of pictures and videos and I am very happy with it.

Summary: One word: Outstanding
Review: Have had the S110 for about three months and have used it in all conditions and situations imaginable. Outside while hiking through creeks, inside at parties and social functions, at the kids' sporting events and so forth. It has come through - in almost all cases - in spectacular fashion. Its size is amazing - I have frequently carried it in a suit pocket at parties and forgotten I had it with me. Its positive attributes:
* Easy to operate for novices - almost a no-brainer for even those unfamiliar with digital cameras
* With a relatively modest 64Mb card, it will frequently store over 110 high-res images
* Panoramic stitch-together mode is neat and will let you easily take full panoramic series
* Oh, and did, I mention how tiny this great little camera is :-) ? Some minor nits I must point out, however:
* Battery life is somewhat modest; after two picture-taking sessions of about 30 shots each, I had drained it
* Battery cover is easy to dislodge; if you ever have problems operating it due to the fact that the power won't come on, make sure that the cover has not become unseated - it is quite easy to do so accidentally
* Action shots are not intuitive because in its default mode, depressing the button does not actually take the shot - there is about a one- or two-second delay in automatic mode; this is defeated by slightly depressing the button - the shutter will then respond instantaneously in this 'quick picture' mode Again, these are minor, minor issues. In general, I recommend the S110 in highest terms. It is an outstanding camera with an exceptional form-factor.

Summary: An outstanding camera, but buy the S200 instead
Review: I've had the S110 for 6 months and have used it a LOT, always with great satisfaction. But don't buy it. But the S200 instead. It is identical to the S110 except for a couple of important improvements. First, it comes with a better battery that holds 23% more power than the battery that comes with the S110. Second, the movie clips it takes can be up to 60 seconds long, compared to 30 seconds for the S110. Also, at the time I write this, the S200 is much less expensive than the S110, at least here at Amazon.com. Both are great cameras, very tiny, take high quality pictures, easy to use, the movie clips they take are actually pretty good quality - and include sound. As others note, though, you will need to buy a bigger Compact Flash card - Canon only includes an 8MB card with their digital cameras. So plan on spending another $50 or so.

Summary: Installation of s110
Review: This driver that can be downloaded from the internet works quite well and it works immediatley BUT it requires the use of winzip to un zip once it has been downloaded to the computer. I work as a SW and HW technician and a customer called me to have his s110 installed it worked immediately but I would call it an advanced installation procedure that the help file does NOTHING to assist with......My customer had to pay after spending more than "2hours" on the phone with Canon techs....but he was quite satisfied once it was working......and it immediatley recognized the 75 photos he had on his camera's memory and offered to pick some to dwnload.
