Rating: Summary: Ultra portability that packs a punch! Review: I have had this camera for close to four months now and have just returned from a trip to Europe. I can honestly say that this little camera has been a joy to carry around! The camera functions are very intuitive and operating the camera has never been easier! The images are crystal clear, and the MPEG videos are great. Even the sound captured was better than I had anticipated. The battery life wasn't a problem during my trip, although it would have been nice if this camera could take standard batteries as well. All in all this is one fantastic camera. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone who wants an ultra portable and pocketable camera without sacrificing picture quality. The only potential drawback is the 8 MB CF card that comes with the camera. I suggest purchasing a 128 MB CF card (I did!) so that you won't have to worry too much about the number of pictures you can take. Now... If Canon can come out with a 3-4 megapixel digital ELPH, that would be the ticket!
Rating: Summary: Canon Powershot S110 a WINNER Review: I purchased this camera after returning a Nikon Coolpix 775. Unlike the Nikon, this Canon produces Great indoor pictures. The flash is great. Indoor pictures are true to color, and vivid. Outdoor pictures are picture perfect, even better than I expected for a 2.1 M pix camera. Even the movie mode is more than I expected although it will never replace a video camera. For quick movie clips it is just the thing. Be sure to have Quick Time to view the movies because so far it is the only program I have found that works with the cameras movie mode. Quick Time is a free download off the internet. Battery life is above expectations and recharge time is just around two hours. The only thing a person needs to add is a larger compact flash card. After owning a Nikon 900 and returning a Nikon 775 I am hooked with Canon. Its very small size easily fits in the shirt pocket and the metal case gives it a very well built feeling. It even came with a coupon for a free battery, sling bag and 16 meg compact flash card. If you are looking for a camera in this price range I can easily recommend this little beauty.
Rating: Summary: Great digital camera for a socially active person Review: I recently purchased the s110 and within 4 days I have already taken over 100 pictures. I spent a few weeks researching which camera was the best for a $400 price range and I am thrilled I decided on the canon. It's portability is unparalleled and it's very hard not to take a good picture. One of my favorite features is the LCD screen's ability to zoom in on pics and scroll over them while reviewing them. It's small, it comes with everything the average photographer needs, easy to use and it takes great pictures! What else could you possibly want?
Rating: Summary: Best compact digital camera out there!!! Review: I am basically a novice to digital photograghy so this review may be worthless to some--but I think it will be very helpful to others who like myself-are just getting into this new trend. I did a lot of research-both on the web and off-before I decided to purchase this camera-and I am extremely pleased with this camera. Not only is it very easy to operate and to download pictures, but its very compact size makes it easy to take anywhere.It comes complete with all the software and USB for downloading the pictures to the computer, but I recommend purchasing a flash card reader as this makes the process a BREEZE!! I was taking pictures and downloading them within 3 hours of purchasing this camera. As for quality- my friends and family were amazed at the clarity of the pictures that I sent them. GREAT pictures, extremely easy to use,and compact-what more could you ask for? I would highly recommend this camera. A spare battery and a larger flash card are a must,as you will definately need both. I have only had mine for a bout 3-weeks, and I already feel like a pro!! I love this camera!!
Rating: Summary: Everything is great but the software Review: I truly love this camera. It's tiny, great resolution that will fulfill your expectations. My only complaint it is the software that comes with the camera to dload the pictures. I recommed you to buy a PC Card adapter for CF Memory and stick it directly inot the notebook and use the traditional cut&paste to get the JPEG files into your HD. If you are running already Windows XP, you can even make a slide show right off the CF card. If you have Desktop without PC Card slot, no problem, just get the Intelliflash memory reader (viking) and plug it to your computer. Is the fastest and easiest way to download pictures. I love the cameras and most of the people that asked me to show them the camer are getting one!
Rating: Summary: The camera you will use Review: You can get a big camera and never take it out of its case, or you can get this camera and actually have fun taking pictures. It is a simple camera to use and really takes great pictures. The only complaint is the delay in the shutter mechanism (you need to push 1/2 way down, hear 2 beeps, and then press down all the way). Not a problem to get used to, but not easy to explain to strangers when you ask them to take a picture for you. I would and have recommended this camera to my friends/family.
Rating: Summary: The best compact digital camera Review: After a few weeks of research, I decided to go with the S110 due to its compact size and the reputation of the Canon Elph series. I was not dissapointed. The S110 takes great photos in automatic and manual mode. The flash is quite impressive, this camera takes great pictures in low light conditions. What really impressed me was the video clip function. This camera takes great quick 10 second video clips which are especially useful for the web. If you have windowsXP, you don't even need to install the provided software. The windowsXP camera wizard works flawlessly with the S110.
Rating: Summary: Simply the Best! Review: As a retail sales associate I get to examine and play with all of the neat toys that come out on the market. When the S110 was introduced I simply fell in love. With one exception, the size, quality and features were far and away superior to the competition. The price point reflected that and I was convinced I could never afford one. Well, a recent series of events conspired to allow me to purchase the demo at a very reasonable price. I couldn't be happier. This is without a doubt the best digital camera for the general consumer on the market. The one weak point in the whole package is the 8MB compact flash card. A larger card (considering the falling prices of digital media) would be welcome. But the current mail-in offer from Canon helps rectify that. Until January 31, 2002, Canon is offering a free 16MB card, case and battery with a mail-in coupon. One of the features that I particularly like is the numbering system. The camera sequentially numbers the pictures without losing its place even if you reformat the card. That way you are not constantly forced to rename everything in you picture subdirectory every time you download from the camera (or compact flash card reader in my case). If you are looking for a well built close to top end digital camera, this should be at the head of your list.
Rating: Summary: Absolutely love it... no regrets! Review: I spent six months debating over the purchase of a digital camera, and when it came down to it, for a 2.1 Megapixel choice, the Canon Powershot S110 is awesome. It will never completely replace my Canon EOS Rebel 35mm SLR, but it sure comes close. I've taken it to several events, and been very pleased with the results. The camera size is one major advantage... it fits in the pocket of a suit jacket, or even blue jeans. I've emailed more of the pictures I've taken with the Powershot than the total amount of pictures I've taken and shown from my SLR. Picture quality is much better than I could have imagined for the very reasonable price, and the color display is a bonus. Except for having the physical photographs to frame and hang on the wall... and there are Canon printers for that too... this little digital camera does it all. Three resolution sizes and three file compression sizes let you handle picture volume and quality for various size storage media rather easily. It's even got black & white mode and can make .avi type movie files up to the size of the free space on your storage card. Full auto or manual settings for flash and shutterspeed, even light filtering adjustments. Not as complex with the manual settings as some would want, but you don't want this as your professional grade camera anyway. For the price, this is a great camera for more than the typical snapshots. I expect this camera to last me for years to come... that is to say, I don't expect to "upgrade" to a better one EVER.
Rating: Summary: I love It! Review: This is my first digital camera. I received it 1 month ago, and have taken hundreds of pictures so far. It is easy to use, takes fantastic pictures and it is TINY!! It comes with a battery & charger, film card, software, and necessary cables. I received the REBATE offer of a spare battery, film card, and sling bag. I thought the bag was for the camera, but it is about the size of a backpack. You will need a printer with at least 2400x1200 dpi in order to print any of your pictures. I found this out AFTER I got the camera. I purchased the Cannon S600, and was astounded at the quality. The 4x6 prints are as good as any photo lab could produce, and of course I only print my best pictures. I would reccommend this camera to my family as well as anyone else.
