not the best.
Date: March 10, 2010
Pros: Nice features/settings, durable, Bright LCD, nice zoom
Cons: Poor image quality, Poor Low-Light Performance, Difficult to use, Short battery life, Heavy/Bulky, Complicated controls/menu
I have had this camera for a year, I take it everywhere and the battery life is very low. I had to change the batteries once a day until I got expensive rechargeable ones. The pictures are washed out and the pictures come out very dark inside and in low light areas. I have to change the setting all the time because pictures come out grainy. Auto is not easy and never works, very dark.
The zoom is very nice! And it is very compact and light weight. The camera works very well it sunny places and outside. The macro works well too.

Best Auto-Digital Camera
Date: February 15, 2010
Pros: Good Low-Light Performance, Nice features/settings, excellent image quality, durable, Bright LCD, Lightweight/Portable, Simple controls/menu, easy to use
This is the best camera that I've owned as far as a digital camera goes. On automatic it takes great pictures yet you still have options if you want to set it yourself.
I've had my camera almost a year. Never had any trouble with it and I've even convinced a few of my friends to buy one.
If you want great photos without a lot of fuss this would be the camera for you.

Fantastic Camera
Date: February 7, 2010
Pros: good battery life, Good Low-Light Performance, Nice features/settings, excellent image quality, durable, Bright LCD, Lightweight/Portable, easy to use, can adjust flash settings, manual controls
Owned this camera for a little over 2 yrs and have taken over 12,000 pictures.It is a fantastic camera. A little confusing to learn all it can do at first, but well worth your time to learn. Takes wonderful pictures in all lighting conditions. It is small enough to put in a purse or jacket pocket. If you want good battery life buy rechargeable batteries and let them run down completely before recharging them. I can get 400 pictures or better on one set of batteries. Must admit I use the faster speed cards. Love the flash adjustment. Really like the fact that it has manual controls also. The 1st yr. used mostly auto mode but switched to manual for a lot of my pictures. Took the camera on a trip to the mountains. Set the camera on manual setting, fastest speed and snapped away out the car window all the way down the mountain while my son was driving. To my amazement they all turned out beautiful. I was impressed. Will buy another one to have when this one wears out. I have told everyone about this camera. My brother bought one after telling him about how much I love mine. He loves it. Haven't found any point and shoot with the optical zoom or price that can compare. Would definitely recommend.

Love it!
Date: January 20, 2010
Pros: Good Low-Light Performance, excellent image quality, Bright LCD, easy to use
Cons: Short battery life
I bought this camera in April 2009, and have taken more than 6,000 photos with it already! It is VERY easy to use, and takes wonderful photos. Many people have complimented the photos I've taken, and believe me, I'm not that talented!
The one down side is the batteries. This camera eats them quickly. I was using rechargeable ones, but they seemed to be dead so quickly, so now I'm buying lithium AA batteries for it, and these last so much longer.
It isn't bulky per se, but it isn't one that could easily be hidden. It's a bit bulkier compared to other cameras, but the quality of the photos is worth it! And of course, it's still a small enough size so it's easy to take with you on the go.

amazing features
Date: January 6, 2010
Pros: Good Low-Light Performance, Nice features/settings, excellent image quality, Bright LCD, easy to use
Cons: Short battery life
I have now used this camera for about a year, and I have taken about four thousand pics in this year. It went with me to Mayan ruins, whale shark dives, and most importantly, all of my daughter's wedding festivities. It's got a great telefoto lens, wonderful clarity, quick response., and many other features. In fact, our wedding photographer attended the rehearsal (without his super equipment as he was a guest) but he borrowed my camera and took shots that rival a professional's. It takes a bit to get used to putting up the face thing to shoot w/ flash, so strangers grabbing the camera have problems. Honestly, the pricey Canon SLR (a fam member has one) can compete with this one. Only one down side...it eats batteries since the screen resolution is so deep and large. Love, love, love it!

It has been a workhorse for me
Date: December 27, 2009
Pros: Nice features/settings, excellent image quality, Bright LCD, Simple controls/menu, easy to use
Cons: Short battery life, doesn't do well when dropped
I have used this camera over the past year while doing the Project 365 (a picture a day). It has taken over 13,000 images in that time and traveled from coast to coast with me. It has done a great job. The things I love, a manual flash that operates independently of the settings (I personally do not like using flash unless absolutely necessary), the brightness of the LCD (but it can fool you into thinking the shot is better than it is), the macro setting has been grand because I like to take close-up details of things. The battery life was really short, but then I purchased rechargeable batteries and it has done much better (up to 400 shots). I loved the 10x optical zoom, but after dropping the camera, the ability to focus with the zoom lost, so for the majority of the year I've been working around it. It is a bit bulky, but then, it also has enough meat to be able to easily hold it. I am going to replace it now, it has more than given me my money's worth. But I think I'll go for a more durable point and shoot--but a Canon of course.

Very Disappointing
Date: December 24, 2009
Pros: Nice features/settings, excellent image quality, durable, Bright LCD, Lightweight/Portable, Simple controls/menu, easy to use
Cons: Poor Low-Light Performance, Short battery life
This camera has great features and takes stunning photographs . . . . but all the bells and whistles in the world don't mean a thing when the batteries don't last for more than 20-30 photos. It also takes entirely too long for the flash to recycle . . . sometimes as much as 10 seconds. I've missed a lot of good shots because of those two issues. I'm very disappointed in this camera.

I received this camera as a gift from my husband about a year ago. I love everything aboout it. It's easy to use and takes awesome pictures! I must say my 3 year old son put his hands on it and I was devastated that the lenses were not working.
I sent it in to Cannon and was extremely satisfied with the prompt service and warranty it offers, I will buy from Cannon again and I've recommended to my friends for the product and service satisfaction I've personally have received.

Overall the camera is just perfect for my use, however the cost of buying batteries is out of control, I may get 25 shots on 2 double AA batteries
As an example went out to Yellowston National Park and took 250 pictures and used 9 sets of batteries.To expensive to use

Solid point and shoot
Date: December 9, 2009
Pros: Nice features/settings, Bright LCD, Lightweight/Portable, easy to use, good image quality
Cons: Poor Low-Light Performance
I received this camera from my insurance company as a replacement for a Kodak that was stolen. Being a Canon shooter (Digtal Rebel XT, 40D and 5D Mark II), I was very happy to add another Canon to the "family."
Overall, this is a decent little camera. Admittedly, my use is limited as the bulk of my photography is with my SLR's. All I wanted a point and shoot for is something I can leave in my truck, take on a bike ride, etc. This little camera fits that bill perfectly.
I would call the image quality "average" for this class of camera. When you try to cram all-in-one features into such a little package, there are bound to be compromises. For example, the SX110 isn't the greatest in low light. However, it is possible to get decent low light results using the manual controls and a little extra thought.
The controls are a bit clumsy, but then again, I'm used to my bigger DSLR's. I'm sure with more frequent use, I'd adapt to this camera without much trouble.
I'm pretty satisfied. If I were specifically shopping for a point and shoot, I might have been tempted to invest a little more in one of Canon's higher end lines. Still, I have recommended this camera to others as a solid, mid-range point and shoot.

Great Action Shots of Horse Races, etc.
Date: December 2, 2009
Pros: good battery life, Good Low-Light Performance, Nice features/settings, excellent image quality, durable, Bright LCD, Lightweight/Portable, Simple controls/menu, easy to use, easily fits in my blue jeans front pocket
Having used this camera in Monroe, Louisiana for over one year, I can guarantee that this is a great camera, with exceptional quality, and all of the features you could want. I've used it for sporting events, such as horse races, car races, football games, etc., and have always gotten great photos without blurring. Also, it takes great videos, and you can easily zoom-in and zoom-out with the awesome 10x Optical Zoom. The huge bright 3" LCD screen on the back of the camera makes it easy to see what you are shooting, and it makes a large display of your photos on the bright LCD after you make shots, when you want to review them, or show them to your friends. Also, the memory card/stick/chip will go directly into the port on your computer to upload photos to Facebook, etc., If your computer does not have that port, there is a cord that comes with the camera. You can plug one end of the cord into the camera, and the other end into your computer to upload photos, without removing the memory card from the camera. The camera allows easy access to the memory card and batteries. This camera is just the right size to easliy slide into my blue jeans front pocket, which makes it super convenient not to have to carry it in my hands, or on a neck strap. I highly recommend this camera.

Very nice little camera as long your taking still shots. My son plays football and a lot of the action shots are not the best (maybe my fault). A action shot mode would be great. over all you get want you pay for.

Easy use with rare hick ups
Date: November 9, 2009
Pros: easy to use, Simple controls/menu, Nice features/settings, Bright LCD, excellent image quality, Lightweight/Portable
Cons: Short battery life
We are very happy with our Powershot SX110 IS! It takes really nice pictures and it is easy to use.
Downloading the pictures to the computer was also easy even though I did it the first time ever!
My only concern is that when you want to take a close up picture, it is not so easy to get a nice sharp picture, it is not focusing so good, but maybe I have to consult the manual again in that regard.
Batteries are gone really quickly we switched now to rechargable ones.

Fantastic Camera!!!
Date: November 4, 2009
Pros: easy to use, Simple controls/menu, Nice features/settings, Bright LCD, excellent image quality, Good Low-Light Performance, Lightweight/Portable, good battery life, durable, great zoom and macro
I am SO impressed by this camera. Have not had issues with battery life; I use rechargeables and keep 4 in the charger and 2 in the camera.
The 10x zoom (plus up to 40x digital) is an amazing feature for a small camera. My photography has improved incredibly, especially since I started shooting on Manual instead of Auto (which tends to overexpose a tad).
My only nit to pick might be how long the flash takes to recharge after taking a picture.
If you are looking for the next step up from a point-and-shoot that will give you really professional results, buy this camera. Now. It takes great videos too!

PowerShot SX110 IS
Date: November 1, 2009
Cons: Short battery life
No matter how many good points this camera has, they are all overshadowed by the very short battery life.
This camera is unacceptable.
Even the rechargeable batteries last no longer than the conventional ones. I am very surprised Canon put this camera on the market, and has not yet pulled it.
I also own a Canon 40D, and never worry about the battery. With the SX110 IS, it is a constant struggle to keep up with the batteries.

Fantastic camera

Pros: easy to use, Simple controls/menu, Bright LCD, excellent image quality, Lightweight/Portable, good battery life, durable
This camera is great. It fits in the pockets of my jacket or pants. The picture quality is very good. The best part is that is uses regular batteries, so no need to bring the charger or run out of power at inconvenient times. Just slip in new batteries (lithion for over 300 shots).

Terrific quality camera
Date: September 28, 2009
Pros: easy to use, Nice features/settings, Bright LCD, excellent image quality
I bought this camera because I wanted a better quality camera than my 6yr old p&s camera. After a ton of research I decided on this one, and overall I'm extremely pleased with it. I haven't run into any problems since I bought it almost a year ago.
It can take fantastic pictures, It has a very durable body (so it's good if you're as clumsy as me), there's all the settings that you need if you want to shoot manually and if not it still has a great auto mode.
Although, I would've liked to see it have a bulb mode. However, missing that one feature ,for me, isn't enough to make me regret getting this camera. Also the video quality is not too good, but a camera is made to take pictures and not videos.
So, in the end I would recommend this to anyone from the aspiring amateur to anyone who just wants an easy to use camera with great image quality.
