Summary: Dont Let Its Size Fool You!
Review: The Elph S110 is an amazing digital camera. I love the fact that it's so tiny, you can take it with you anywhere, even out to a club in your shirts pocket. The unit is packed with all the best features for most anyone looking to buy a digital camera these days. It may not meet the needs of a pro, but for your average joe like me - it does the job and then some. It's 2.1 mega pixels is more than enough for all your everyday pics. The flash is super bright and turns otherwise picth black images to ultra vibrant pics. The controls, although small are easy to use and learn. The overall feel and construction of the camera is also very solid. The only few drawbacks that I have found with this camera is that the included 8MB flashcard is a joke. If you're only considering taking just a handful, and I mean a handful of pics, then by all means it will do the job, but if you want more images like so many of us buying this camera do, then I suggest opting for a 64MB or higher card. (Cost Co has 64MB SanDisk flashcards...) Second no case came with the camera. I had to dish out ... extra [money]to pick up an APS Elph Jr case from a local camera shop. It fits perfectly though. Lastly, battery life could be better. On average I'm getting about 60 images before it goes dead. The low battery warning goes on too late. I'm looking into picking up a second battery. Overall this is an awesome piece of equipment. If you're tossing and turning over what to buy and the higher pixel cameras have cought your eye, don't forget to actually take a look at the other models and hold them in your hand. You'll see that most are larger, heavier, and bulkier - then ask yourself - do you really need all that?

Summary: It's perfect for me
Review: I've always loved taking pictures but it was the issues of the film and remembering the camera that was always such a hassle. Ever since I got this camera, I've been taking pictures galore. I love this camera because its so small and compact that i carry it everywhere I go. I went on a 4 day trip and took over 100 pictures. I wasn't worried about anything. I came back from my trip and downloaded it onto my computer and sent it out to my friends. We all loved it. No need for a scanner, No need for waiting for the film to be developed. It's great and I love it.
Also, it's the easiest little thing to use. I'm stupid when it comes to electronics and I skimmed the manuel and I was setup and using it in an hour. There's a lot of cool features on this that I have yet to use. It's amazing how a little thing like this can do so much. It's worth the money! For those of you, who don't have time to waste and want to remember all the good times, it's a must buy!

Summary: Nice update of the S100.
Review: I have been a dedicated S100 user since its release, and have really gotten my money's worth from that camera. It is not, however, a perfect camera, and the S110 attempts to address some of its shortcomings. However, what has not improved is the old 2:1 optical zoom, which admittedly is helped a bit by the 2.5:1 digital zoom, but still leaves me underwhelmed. On the plus side, the S110 adds a 30 second QuickTime (/w sound) movie function, which once you master the download process, really adds new zip to your internet photo apps, and the new control wheel with embedded power switch works far better than the old recessed power button, which in my mind was a real problem with the S100. The camera is priced exactly where the S100 had been, though worth considering still would be the now discounted S100. If you want a little more camera in a nearly-as-small pkg (and with the more powerful 3:1 optical zoom), consider the S300.

Summary: great little camera for casual photographers
Review: I've never written a review for anything before but this camera is worth pitching. I went back and forth deciding to buy it. Camera buffs in camera stores said the lens is low quality, and its not worth the money. That may be, and you probably will not like this camera if you are a photography nut who wants lots of manual settings, etc. However, if you are a point-and-shoot kind of person who loves gadgets like me, and if you value small size in a camera (can't list the number of times I've had my "not worth the money" point-and-shoot 35mm camera with me and got the picture that my friends with their SLRs missed because their cameras were too bulky to carry), then buy this camera. I just shot up a storm at my Grandma's 95th birthday (an indoor party I might add), and got some amazing shots. The quality is excellent, very sharp, bright, vivid colors. 2.1 megapixels is fine for 4x6 snapshots, 5x7s are still 225 dpi. And of course the advantages of digital, being able to see the shot immediately so you can take it again if you flubbed. The delayed shutter response on digital cameras has always bothered me, but as long as you set the focus first by pushing halfway, you can get immediate response with the s110. And you just can't believe how small this camera is until you see it and carry it around with you for a weekend. Downloading pictures is totally easy, and its fun to have a slide show on the TV with your family. I worried about whether I was ready for digital but this camera has completely won me over.

Summary: Movies on my Mac
Review: This is a fantastic camera. I especially like the movie clip capability. After changing several clips to DV format (with QuickTime) I imported them into iMovie on my Mac, merged them together, and presto, I have a great show that includes both stills and movies. I also appreciate the fact that Canon includes separate instruction booklets in English and Spanish. This sure beats having one oversized book, half of which would be of no use to me.

Summary: Size DOES matter
Review: Have had the S110 now for 3 weeks and love it. It delivers exactly what it promises - great quality pictures and a size small enough that you actually have it with you when you need it. The zoom is about equal to a 35-70mm lens, which makes it perfect for most leisure photographers. Canon kept options fairly minimal, so it's pretty easy to operate. Quality of photos are great, and the video clip capability makes this really stand out. I've got a 2 year-old and it's great to have the ability to shoot 30 seconds of video without having to carry around the camcorder. Three things I would change: 1. Need to make at least a 32 MB CF card standard; 8 MB is ridiculous today, and they could have bumped price up by ... by including a bigger card (tho you can now buy a 128 MB card for around ...) 2. Would be nice to have an easy means of converting the video from QuickTime to either Microsoft or mpeg formats. 3. Shutter speed (or whatever the equivalent is in the digital world) is kind of slow. So, trying to shoot a 2 year old, about a third of my shots come after she's stopped smiling. But, that seems to be an issue with all the cameras in this range. Overall, this is a well-made camera that delivers top-notch quality for a pretty reasonable price.

Summary: Canon Elph S110 is AWESOME
Review: I've waited a LONG time before breaking down and buying a digital camera. I researched for months and finally decided to buy the Canon Powershot S110 and I love it. It's as close to perfect as I could imagine. This is the smallest digital camera available and it's packed full of features -- everyone that see's it are amazed and I'm still amazed. Pictures are beautiful and the software that comes with it is very easy to use. I have an Apple IMac so I was worried about compatability issues but it works flawlessly with my Apple. Be sure to check out Yahoo for a free way to put your photo's easily on-line to share with your Family and Friends - it's free and easy and beats sending huge emails. Also want to send big kudo's to Amazon.com -- your site is wonderful and a huge asset in researching my purchase and your prices are excellent. Don't miss the deals Amazon has on memory cards for the Elph.

Summary: Great Looking, Easy to Use and Great Results
Review: Just giving my few cents on the S110 Powershot. I am most impressed with the unit and what they can fit inside. The only bad things are it is a little heavy (due to metal case I imagine), and the battery life. Everything else is great for my use.
