I will start with the bottom-line.... This is one excellent camera! . I will start with the bottom-line.... This is one excellent camera! With that said, there are a couple of things you should know when un-boxing the system. First of all, the measly 32mb memory card you receive is just about worthless. Plan on purchasing a 8gb card. They can be had for about $15 and if you take many photos or any videos you will be glad you did.
Also, my camera's video setting came out of the box in the "compact" mode, which in my option produces unusable video. Change Canon Powershot SX110IS 9MP Silver to the standard video/640 30fps (page 89 in the User Guide). While this still will not provide you with HD video, Canon Powershot SX110IS 9MP Silver is acceptable for causal shooting. However, the included 32mb memory card will only hold about 15 seconds of video at this setting.
Now for the important part. For the price point, this camera would be extremely hard to beat! The features are numerous and quite amazing. I took a picture of an object so far away I could hardly make Canon Powershot SX110IS 9MP Silver out, at full optical and digital zoom and the results were unbelievable. However, I must say I did enhance the photo a bit in Photoshop. You could probably do the same in just about any photo software program, even the one that comes with the camera.
I can't say I found any "cons" with this camera. Since I take causal and semi-professional photographs in my web designing business, I wanted a camera that was compact yet provided excellent results. If I wasn't concern with the size, I would have likely purchased a SX10 IS or XS1 IS, but for what I need the SX110 IS is more than adequate.
However, as others have mentioned the camera does eat a steady supply of batteries. Either buy your AAs in bulk or goes the rechargeable route. I didn't call the camera's energy requirement a con, because I like the big, bright and beautiful LCD and other power hungry features. For me, Canon Powershot SX110IS 9MP Silver is a reasonable tradeoff.
I would highly recommend this camera and I wish you happy shooting!
Great Superzoom camera but slow flash charge. I was in the market for a new camera and had always owned Pentax or Kodak. As i researched I noticed Canon's get great ratings so I considered a few Canon's in my quest for a new digital camera. I also checked out the Panasonic Lumix TZ5, very nice, however I liked the options and features on the Canon SX110 better. One really neat feature Canon Powershot SX110IS 9MP Silver has that I did not see on any of the cameras I looked at was the playback button. You can view the pictures you have taken without powering on the camera, WOW! Besides the awesome pictures this camera takes and how easy Canon Powershot SX110IS 9MP Silver is to use, you can also use the zoom feature while in video mode (most digicams do not do that). Great camera overall, however the only 2 faults I have found is the date can only be imprinted on the picture in postcard mode (think this is 2mp). This is alright for me b/c I use low res for mostly emails and 4x6 prints, however may not be good for people who like to take pics in higher resolutions. The other flaw is the SLOW flash recycle, you could miss out on some good pics bc of this. I also want to praise amazon.com for the great price which was $55 cheaper than the local retail stores in my area and I received my camera the day after I ordered it! Now that's super fast service!!
Outstanding outdoor camera. When used outside in good light (or extremely bright indoor light, such as next to a window) Canon Powershot SX110IS 9MP Silver is an outstanding camera. Canon Powershot SX110IS 9MP Silver can take high-quality shots of stills, portraits, and action shots. The zoom is very effective at distance, and the settings can go from fully automatic to completely manual. In the right light this camera can get professional-quality shots.
However, indoors this camera is no better than a typical point and shoot camera that would fit in your pocket. The flash is weak (even at the highest setting), and pictures without flash are almost impossible. ISO greater than 200 is pointless as photos will be overcome by noise. If all you plan to do is have people hold still while you take a picture from less than seven feet, then you'll be fine. If you are trying to get action shots indoors, forget about it.
This camera will gobble batteries faster than a pig runs to slops. You'll be lucky to get fifty pictures out of a new set of alkaline batteries. However, if you get a good set of rechargable batteries, you'll be overwhelmingly and pleasantly surprised by how many pictures you can get: hundreds. Go figure. I have four rechargable batteries. I use two at a time, and can easily take 500 pictures before having to recharge.
The flash is very slow to recycle, so again, indoor shots with this camera are slow and annoying.
The camera is very reasonably priced. I paid two Benjamins for Canon Powershot SX110IS 9MP Silver new and have taken a couple thousand photos already. The colors are brilliant and popping, but realistic. Like I said, with good light, you can't go wrong with this camera. I mostly use the TV setting. I set my shutter speed at about 250-360 and then I don't miss a single action shot. It's fast, reliable, and fun. This camera can get you results that look professional.
The camera is bulky. If you carry a large purse, you'll be fine with it, or if you use a backpack/briefcase. But if you're expecting to slip this into your shirt pocket or jeans pocket, forgetabboutit. Canon Powershot SX110IS 9MP Silver won't fit. Canon Powershot SX110IS 9MP Silver will only fit in a very loose pants pocket, and even then it's annoying. You could put Canon Powershot SX110IS 9MP Silver in a case and attach Canon Powershot SX110IS 9MP Silver to your belt, which works great, but ruins the style factor. This camera looks like an old 1980s film camera (although Canon Powershot SX110IS 9MP Silver performs like a dynamite digital). You won't win any style points with this camera.
If you are going to have to lug something around and want the best quality you can afford, look at the Rebel XS, the best priced digital DSLR on the market. But if you only have two hundred bucks, and can't go another three hundred, then get this SX110is. It's a great camera and I don't regret the purchase for a minute.
