Summary: perfect second camera
Review: The S110 makes for a perfect second digital camera. I use a high end Nikon for my business work, but it's too bulky to lug around all day. I've found that the S110 is ideal for most everyday situations. It's easy to carry (same size as a pack of cigarettes), lightweight and durable. The 2.1 megapixel CCD is all you need. Believe, I know. My Nikon is a 5 megapixel camera, and at 8x10 or smaller, there is no difference in quality of the enlargements.Caveats are the limited zoom (2x) and relatively short battery life. I turn the LCD display off and that makes a significant difference in the battery life. The small size and simplicity easily make up for these minor flaws.

Summary: Surprise: great for scanning photos, too
Review: I just got this awesome little toy on Friday night, and realized that I need a copy of my invoice for the rebate. Since my scanner no longer works, I tried taking a photo of the invoice with my new Canon S110. I was astounded by how clear the image came out. I had no problem reading every little detail on the page and it made for a great copy. Then I got more ambitious and used it to photograph an old 3x5 photo from the family album. I used the "macro" setting to get good and close, turned off the flash, and put a strong desk lamp over the photo. I couldn't believe how sharp the resulting JPG file came out! So all weekend, I've been shooting and emailing old photos to my family -- great fun. It's even easier with a tripod and the built-in Canon "remote control" program, which lets you control the camera settings and shoot the picture using your PC keyboard when you hook the camera to the USB port.

Summary: Big hit in small package
Review: This little gadget is more than I expected. Even for someone who hates wasting time with manuals and complicated electronic instructions, mastering this midget was a breeze. Its small size makes it unobtrusive when snapping shots in company, and the high resolution really delivers good quality pictures that I had no trouble downloading to my PC. I have upgraded the flashcard to a 128MB, as recommended by others, and the result is tremendous. What a great way to enter the world of digital photography!

Summary: Very pleased with myself...
Review: Great first digital camera - thats what all (50 plus) reviews I read said.... and that's what I've found so far. Small enough to take anywhere, small enough to put down and loose too!!!
A 128MB Compact flash is worth the extra money, the 8MB it comes with is ridiculous. An extra battery too.... although you should be getting one free if you returned the voucher (printable from the website, not in the box where I thought it was going to be!) Any where's the cover?! I expected a cover.... but I guess I'll find a mobile phone cover that it'll fit into to reduce the likelihood of scratches. But that's not really important.... I'll keep it in the little bubble-wrap wallet it came in untill I find something.
The mini battery whined noticeably the first time I charged it, but the sound was much less after that. Battery lasted longer than expected but died whilst I was uploading pictures to my computer.... no flashing warning light though, just "off". Still, no pictures lost. Battery charger is basically a light-weight plug, which the battery slots into - brilliant idea!
Can someone post how long uploading pictures to a computer via the USB is supposed to take.... it seems to take too long for me, but I may need to change some settings (I'm running WinMe).
Quality of the pictures though is stunning - colour is rich and resolution is very sharp.... 2.1 MP is sufficient after all my worries that it wouldn't be.
Contols are a bit daunting at first, and tiny! but I'm slowly learning what everything does and exploring new features such as the macro setting - provides a simple way to inventory the wife's jewelery, using the LCD to frame the shot. The rest of the time I follow other reviewers advice and switch the display off to save the battery.
And yes, I'm going to be like all the other reviews you've read - and give this amazing piece of technology that the whole family will be fighting you for the 5 stars it deserves. I am one very pleased customer who knows he hasn't made a mistake this time.

Summary: Small, Slender, Sweet!
Review: Those three words pretty much describe this camera. I have had mine for over a week and I have enjoyed playing with it. It is not difficult to set-up. I pretty much figured most of it out with occaisional glances at the instructions manual. The software is good, if a little complicated. The best part of the deal? It's fit-in-your-pocket size! Oh and the extra bundle of accessories I am expecting from Cannon as part of the offer. So all in all, it's a small, slender, sweet deal :)

Summary: Only 1 Complaint
Review: I've had my camera for about 6 months. It is a great camera. It is sturdy and well built, very functional, and extremely compact. My only complaint is the photo software. When it works it is great software. To date it has failed 2 times. It is fixable, but with the help of tech support. Other than that, I have no complaints or regrets abuot buying this camera. I would highly recommend this camera to potential buyers.

Summary: It got me taking pictures!
Review: I swear, I never take pictures. At least I didn't until I got this cool little camera as a XMAS gift. I just keep it in my coat pocket wherever I go. It's so small and light weight I don't even notice it's there. Whenever I take some pictures, I just download them onto my computer when I get home and delete them from the camera to make room to take more pictures. It's GREAT! NO FILM TO BUY!!! It didn't take me long to figure out the controls either.

Summary: This is the PERFECT digital camera !
Review: I searched for 6 months for an ideal digital camera and this is it. I own a regular APS Canon film Elph and was interested in the digital version, but I could never find one in a store that worked so I could check out how the software worked. So, I was reluctant to purchase. I found a site called dpreviews dot com and it was just what I needed. Their reviews are so detailed that I learned everything I needed and did the comparison reviews too. There is no better 2.1 Mega Pixel camera, period. The small size is what I liked about the regular Elph. The main reason I didn't take pictures before getting a film Elph was the hassle of carrying a bulky camera. The Elph eliminates this issue completely. I can carry a camera anywhere in any pocket and be ready for every occasion. The Elph's construction is solid as a rock on both the regular and digital versions. I can't speak highly enough about the digital Elph S110 camera. It is compact and solid. The internal software was my main concern, but once I read the detailed review of how the camera software worked, with pictures of every screen and function, at the dpreview.com site, I knew this camera was the one for me. Act soon for 2 reasons: 1 - this model seems to be in short supply; and 2 - you can get a free second battery, carry case, and additional memory card until the end of the month as a special promotion from Canon. This eliminates the 2 main issues: wanting a case to protect the view screen on the back, and wanting an extra battery ($... value) so you have a spare. The picture quality if phenomenal. The movie mode is very cool too. I didn't think I would use it but it's great to take a little 10 second clip and the motion reproduction is very good. The sound is very good also. As noted in some other reviews, the only flaw here is that you can't hear the audio on replays in the camera because there is no audio jack on the camera. I was concerned about getting a 2.1 mega pixel now that you can get 3, 4, and 5 mega pixel camera's but trust me, 2.1 meg is enough. It takes 1600x1200 photos that are so crisp and clear you can print an excellent 8x10 easily. And I don't know about you, but I have never had a photo blown up larger than 8x10. I recommend that you get a 128MB card. They are down to about $... bucks and one card will hold over 128 shots at the max size with max quality (superfine) (about 900KB per shot). If you use the next quality level, fine, each shot averages about 500KB. At that rate a 128MB card will hold over 240 shots. That's enough to last a whole vacation. Movie clips of the maximum 10 second duration at the medium 320x240 mode take up about 4MB each. Lastly, the included software while not the best, is very good, and the synch/download from the camera is seamless. Attach the camera to the PC and up pops the transfer program. Click the button for whichever type of copy/download option you want, and presto, there they are.

Summary: Great tiny camera
Review: This is my first digital camera and I love it! It was between this one and the Fugi Finepix 2600. Although the Fugi was a little cheaper and had a little bit better zoom, I chose this one for the rebate of free products and it was smaller than the Fugi. This camera has everything! Pictures look great. The manual is not the best for figuring out how to work it but a little playing around with it did the trick. The battery seemed to run down after about 2 hours of playing with it non-stop so I intend on always having an additional batter charged up with me. Fingerprints do show on this camera but are easily wiped off. I just love the compact size of this camera. If I had to lug around a huge camera I'd never take pictures.
