This review is from: Canon PowerShot SD110 3MP Digital Elph with 2x Optical ZoomI own three digital cameras and a pricy SLR and the Canon SD110 has made all the others obsolete. This camera changed my photo-taking behavior and excitement, and now I always carry it in my bag or pocket. First, you should know Canon and Nikon make the best digital cameras - primarily because they were smart in outsourcing electronics to the best Chinese component manufacturers (Flextronics, Celestica) and used their own industry-leading optical lenses. I prefer Canon because of ease of use (both camera and downloading to PC), braoder range of sophisticated features, rock solid reliability, accessories (you must get the cute leather case... all your friends will ask!), and the cameras just *look* and *feel* infinitely cooler.The SD110 is a small, powerful, high performer even among its Canon peers. Though I provide a balanced view below, as a connoisseur of every new technology out there for cameras, I can attest this little machine boasts a ton of horsepower.The Pros include:1. Great pictures (up to 8"x10")- balanced color resolution (thanks to the Digic processor)- outside pictures are brilliant, inside pictures come out fine, though the flash is a bit strong to compensate- nice redeye reduction, but this does delay the picture by a half second or so- photo zoom mode, so you can zoom into part of a picture (or "move around" the picture) to check clarity, color, etc. immediately after taking the shot2. Customizable features on par with top-line cameras- all the same features of my Canon Rebel 2000 SLR and 3x more expensive Powershot G5. Landscape, portrait, moving images, - color schemes are better and broader than Nikon, Sony, and Olympus: black & white, sepia, neutral, vivid, etc.3. Ease of use- simple menu structure, no complicated buttons- delete bad pictures with ease, effectively increasing your total photo capacity- photo inventory mode (advancement from earlier Canon models) that lets you look at 8-12 pictures simultaneously and flip quickly through memory by screen shots rather than one picture at a time (critical for memory cards over 64MB)- "smart" download to Canon Zoombrowser (software that comes with the camera) - just plug in and it automatically downloads- Zoombrowser software (new version) is clearly superior to earlier generations, and I did not need to buy Photoshop (other camera brands come with a poor software interface so you need to spend an add'l $80-100 on photo editing software)4. Physical attributes- compact and lighter than even the S300/400/500 series, fits in your pocket or purse easily- SD card is wafer thin and cheaper than compactflash (which most other cameras use)- nice silver/chrome metal finish that catches the eye- solid rechargable battery (can take 80-100 pictures using the LCD screen) before next recharge- recharger is small and very cool: battery slips into the bay, and the unit goes right into the wall socket- one touch on-off (does NOT turn on-off by accident as some other cameras do)The Cons (none of these are deal-breakers):1. optical zoom (2x) could be more powerful but digital zoom does a decent job compensating (G5 and SLRs are superior here)2. shutter speed can be improved: 1.0 second to take pictures (vs. 0.2sec for SLR, 0.5sec for G5), and then you can adjust how long the camera holds the LCD image for you to see3. Included memory card (16MB) is useless. Think of this as a "practice starter"; you will want at least a 128MB SD (120 pix) or 256MB SD (245 pix) memory cards - both cheap and under $30 extra. Picture counts are estimated and at high resolutionYou will not regret buying this camera. Simply amazing how much this has changed my picture taking behavior.
This review is from: Canon PowerShot SD110 3MP Digital Elph with 2x Optical ZoomI just purchased this camera from my local camera retailer (cheaper than Amazon.com, if you can believe it!) after debating on the wisdom of forking over my money for this little machine. I have a fabulous Fujifilm S3000 digicam with a lot of zoom and great picture taking capibility, but I found I needed a smaller camera to carry around for those times when the S3000 would be too much of a hassle to haul places. That said, I knew deep down that I was pretty much set on the Canon PowerShot SD110 just because it was so darn cute. It's tiny, smaller than the Elph that a friend of mine bought last year, and can easily fit into the smallest of my purses without taking up much room at all. The size alone was what had initially sold me on it, and the fact that it has a good rep...
