Editorial Reviews and Product Descriptions

Product Description

The smallest Digital ELPH camera to date with an optical zoom, this new 3.2 megapixel entry maintains all the miniature magic found in its SD100 predecessor including its use of ultra-compact SD memory cards.Nonetheless, this petite, extremely pocket-sized digital photo powerhouse - measuring 3.3 x 2.2 x 0.9 in./85 x 56 x 23.9mm (excluding protrusions) and weighing a mere 5.8 ounces without battery or SD card - packs 3.2 million pixels and a superb all-glass Canon 2x (35-70mm equivalent) optical zoom lens (with a cross-section smaller than a dime) and a close focusing capability of 3.9 inches in macro mode. The PowerShot SD110 Digital ELPH camera also features the same level of sophisticated shooting options as the advanced PowerShot cameras and even records high resolution 640 x 480 movies with sound for clips of up to 30 seconds and clips of up to three minutes at lower 320 x 240 and 160 x 120 resolutions.While it maintains the same classic Digital ELPH shape and stainless steel exterior, this new PowerShot SD110 Digital ELPH camera features an eye-catching new "silver white" finish with a lighter appearance than the SD100 Digital ELPH model it replaces.
Amazon.com Product Description

The ultracompact and highly stylish Canon PowerShot SD110 updates its predecessor, the SD100, with Canon's new Print/Share button, which helps you quickly send your photos directly to your printer or upload them to your PC. The SD110 also features 3.2-megapixel resolution; 2x optical zoom; nine-point artificial-intelligence autofocus (AiAF) for accurate, automatic focus; and a movie mode with sound.

Optics and Resolution
The PowerShot SD110 can create images of intense color and terrific quality--even in your biggest prints.
The PowerShot SD110 offers a 3.2-megapixel CCD sensor that produces images up to 2,048 x 1,536 pixels, for photo-quality 8 x 10 prints or medium-quality 11 x 14 enlargements. Other resolution modes include 1,600 x 1,200, 1024 x 768, and 640 x 480. The superb all-glass 2x optical zoom lens has a focal length of 5.4-10.8mm (equivalent to 35-70mm in 35mm photography). It also incorporates a 3.2x digital zoom for a total zoom of 6.4x.

Movie Mode
The PowerShot SD110 lets you capture high-resolution 30-second video clips with sound at 640 x 480 (10 frames per second). You can also capture 3-minute movies at lower resolutions: 320 x 240 and 160 x 120 (both at 15 frames per second).

  • Continuous shooting: 2.2 frames (maximum 12 images)
Canon Technology Features
  • DIGIC Imaging Processor: While much technical discussion of digital cameras centers around the optics and the CCD sensor, the complex task of image rendering is the job of the image processor--the "brains" of a digital camera. Canon's latest, exclusive DIGIC imaging processor significantly enhances digital camera performance in numerous areas. DIGIC's high-speed signal processing is combined with high-capacity buffering to give Canon digital cameras fast response and continuous shooting capability unmatched by other digital cameras. DIGIC delivers longer battery life and beautiful, rich color rendition with far fewer white saturation problems. And DIGIC's unequaled precision delivers clear, noise-free images that are demonstrably superior.
  • iSAPS Technology: Canon iSAPS (Intelligent Scene Analysis based on Photographic Space) technology dramatically improves the performance of AF (autofocus), AE (autoexposure), and AWB (auto white balance). By analyzing a huge volume of photography data accumulated over 60 years and the manufacturing of over 150 million cameras, Canon engineers arrived at statistical relationships among focal length, focus distance, scene brightness, and other factors. Equipped with this "foreknowledge," Canon PowerShot cameras can optimize AF/AE/AWB settings for any given scene more rapidly and more effectively.
  • Multipoint AiAF: Canon's wide-area, multipoint AiAF (artificial-intelligence autofocus) automatically selects one or more focusing points based on factors such as subject position and motion. AiAF works in conjunction with iSAPS Technology to more quickly and accurately achieve autofocus under a wide variety of shooting conditions. You get fast, accurate AF whether you hold the camera horizontally or vertically, whether you have stationary or moving subjects, with off-center subjects, and even in low-light or low-contrast situations.

Advanced Printing
The camera features Canon's Print/Share button, which illuminates when a successful connection is made between the camera's USB port and a PictBridge-compatible printer or Windows PC. When it is lit, pushing the button will print the currently displayed image (based on the printer's default PictBridge or Direct Printer settings) or automatically transfer the image to your PC. When connected to a Canon compact photo printer, the camera/printer combination allows for "movie-prints" (sequential frames of a movie clip printed as thumbnails on a single card) and photo IDs (passport-style ID photographs).

Direct Photo Printers
For large-format desktop printing, try one of the Direct Photo Printers which allow you to print directly in one of two ways: plugging the compatible PowerShot camera into the Direct Photo Printer using the supplied cable, or simply inserting a memory card with a supplied adapter. You can also connect the printer to your computer, for more options. Print high-resolution, borderless images in postcard size or as 8.5 x 11s within minutes.

Storage and Transfer
Images and video are stored on tiny Secure Digital (SD) memory cards; the camera is also compatible with MultiMedia cards (MMC). The included 16 MB card holds approximately 21 images at the large/fine setting. Images can be downloaded to either a Mac or PC via USB 1.1 connectivity, which means the camera can be connected to any USB-based computer running Windows Me/2000/XP or Mac OS 8.6 or later without your having to install any software.

Power and Size
The camera is powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery (NB-3L). With the LCD on, you will get approximately 210 shots; with the LCD off, 550 shots. It measures 3.35 x 2.20 x 0.94 inches and weighs 5.82 ounces without batteries.

What's in the Box
The package contains the PowerShot SD110 digital camera, a 16 MB Secure Digital memory card, a rechargeable lithium-ion battery (NB-3L), a battery charger (CB-2LU), USB and A/V cables, and a wrist strap. The software supplied on the CD-ROM includes the browsing and printing programs ZoomBrowser EX (Windows) and ImageBrowser (Mac). Other software includes PhotoStitch and the photo- and movie-manipulation programs ArcSoft PhotoStudio and VideoImpression.

Long wait but helpful. - Reviewed on 2008-10-08

I ordered the camera and was surprised to discover that the company's turn around time was s l o w. Yes, they do promise a 10 day delivery by standard mail but what is not said is that the clock starts only after they process the order. So if it takes them one wk to process the order you're now looking at a 3 wk delivery date from the time you hit "ENTER" and place your order.
To make matters worse the UPS delivery date was delayed so it took 5 wks to get the camera. This was not the fault of the company but their s l o w processing added to the problem.
In fairness, they did offer to send me extra goodies for my inconvenience and they were response to my emails.

It's a decent camera for the time it was made, but if you don't take a picture with the flash, or on the surface of the sun, it will not have enough light and will be blurry. I need to find one with more resolution and more sensitivity in normal light conditions.
Great Pictures....BUT - Reviewed on 2007-06-27

I loved my digital elph when I first purchased it even though it had a dead pixel. It came the day before I was to leave for vacation for 4 months so I didn't have the time to send it back. It takes great pictures I do have to say, but after a year the body of the camera looks like it's been through a tornado. I take good care of my gadgets and it has its own case and everything, so I guess I don't understand why it looks so awful. The silvery body as turned almost yellow, and has little and BIG black and grey spots all over it. I'm almost ashamed to let anyone use it to take a picture. Canon makes great products I don't understand why this one is so under standards.

After 3 years of using this camera for backpacking in Europe, and living in Spain and going all over the world, plus using it for taking photos for my business website, I can say that this camera has been one of the best that I have had. Its time to buy a new one, but if 3 MP its enough for you and you would use it for traveling this is a great choice!
GREAT CAMERA! - Reviewed on 2007-02-17

I have used this camera now for over 2 years and have literally taken thousands of pictures. This camera combines excellent quality, small size, ease of use and affordability into one fine product.

Picture quality is great. Very intuitive. I skimmed the instructions for about 2 seconds and started taking pics. The Canon photo software is very good. I alternate between using it and Microsoft Picture software.

One thing I find really enjoyable is the movie mode. I assumed it would be horrible, but you get decent video and audio. With my 1gig card, I get about 3 minutes, which is plenty for shooting your pets doing something priceless or to document something. I have a Camcorder, but who wants to lug that around when this fits into your shirt pocket, or attaches to your belt using the optional leather case?

Two years of reliable use, having been dropped a few times in the process. The rechargable battery still holds a good charge, and generic replacements are readily available on a popular auction site for next to nothing. The 1 gig SD card I use was literally free at one of the electronic big box guys over the holidays, and holds tons of photos. In practice, I usually downloaded 10-20 at a time just for ease of managemnt, so even my previous 256k card was more than enough.

Size was a big factor in my decision to purchase. Smaller is better when you have a lot of other things to lug around. This stows easily in a pocket of my laptop carrying case, or as I said earlier, in a pocket. My previous camera was too big and I found I used it a lot less for that reason.

2007 UPDATE: LCD/Sensor failed. I did some research and discovered that Canon was fixing this for free REGARDLESS of warranty expiration date. I sent it to them with the form from their website, and had my camera back and working perfectly about 10 days later! Thanks, Canon, for standing behind your product!
