Two Thumbs UpNovember 30, 2008 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I did more than my fair share of research before purchasing this camera. I actually purchased it, exchanged it for a different camera and then came back to this one for its superior quality. We wanted a camera with a decent zoom and unfortunately, that means you don't get a pocket-sized camera-it's a trade-off. The LCD screen is large and the image is clear and bright, not grainy like some cameras. The video feature, which we tried the other day, is a nice add-on. Yes, you don't have the option to zoom in, but that's why you buy a camcorder. It's a nice feature to have on the camera for those days you don't have that along. The menu is easy to use and I like being able to adjust as much or as little as I want. I wasn't sure whether I'd like a pop-up flash, but it becomes pretty automatic to put it up and if you don't, the camera reminds you. Lastly, I like being able to review my pictures without turning the camera on. There is some lag time after a picture has been taken, but I am still using the memory card it came with while awaiting the arrival of my new one. Once I have rechargeable batteries (I ordered Eneloop, which was recommended to me) and my Ultra II memory card, I expect to see some difference. All in all, I am quite happy with this product.
Everthing In A Camera I Could Hope ForNovember 30, 2008 I just wanted an easy-to-use and understandable camera. This camera is that and more. I can't believe all this camera does. It blew my mind. It's simple to use and the instruction book is easy to understand. I really appreciate the 3" viewer. For those seeking an advanced camera capable of just about anything, this camera provides that too.
mom with interest in photographyNovember 30, 2008 I think this is a great camera fr the money. The specs are great for a reasonable price. It does not have a viewfinder window instead the lcd screen is the window. It took a little bit to get used too, I am happy I got this camera.
Nice Camera for the Price!November 30, 2008 We are currently on a cross country trip from Pa to California and I can't believe some of the terrific shots I have been getting! When I want to be lazy I let the camera do it for me when I want to manually take my own I can! Gotta love it! Only thing I would suggest you buy a case!
Canon make another winner.November 29, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I was looking for an upgrade to my previous camera, the Canon Powershot A75, which had served me extremely well over 4 years. I purchased an Olympus camera, which despite its high price, I found in my opinion terrible in comparison to my old Canon.
As the camera was for our honeymoon, I decided to buy another camera. Unfortunately I purchased the Olympus online at a store that does not offer refunds or exchange on poor choice. Expensive lesson learned there.
I purchased the Canon SX110IS from a bricks and mortar store with refund/exchange policy, for peace of mind. Just days before I had recommended friends buy a Canon, and they bought this camera, and when I saw their shots, I knew this was the camera for me.
Straight away I felt so relieved and happy that I had purchased another Canon. Beautiful shots even on Auto and Easy modes, with lots of other modes and settings to play around with if you wish.
The most important thing about a camera to me is that it takes great pictures on Auto - as I dont like to spend much time playing around, I just like to have fun snapping.
The canon has the same size LCD as the Olympus, but the quality of the pixels is MUCH better, and clearer.
Image Stabiliser is excellent, (it stabilises the LENS, not the camera body like other cameras),sometimes my hands get shaky with some pictures, but they still come out absolutely beautifully.
The colour is amazing, pictures are crisp and sharp, even in low light. I took pictures in a completely dark room and they came out great. I don't mind waiting for the flash to recharge,it does not let you take pictures till it is recharged. In the Olympus I erroneously bought, you had no idea whether the flash was charged or still charging, so you could make the mistake of taking shots too quickly in low light.
The camera body feels very sturdy in your hands and you can easily grip it, your hand can wrap around where you see the silver bit, near the words PowerShot SX110. This is in contrast to slimline cameras that probably look prettier this camera. I'd rather have sturdy, especially with such a big lens and zoom. I was, however, surprised when I saw the camera "in the flesh" it is a lot smaller than I imagined.
Don't worry about lifting the flash (Where canon is written), it's not a bother at all, and the camera (at least in Auto and Easy mode) suggests you lift the flash when it deems it appropriate. If you lift it and have the flash on auto, it wont fire unless required. I just lift the flash whenever I take pictures, but it will only fire when needed.
Canon have improved their picture program for the computer too, but some people may not think the program gives you enough to play around with and may seek other programs.
One thing that i think would be neat would be the ability to change pictures to black and white or sepia on the camera. That is about the only thing that Olympus did that the Canon didn't do thousands of times better.
Overall, I think the camera's brilliant. I will never buy anything but Canon again.
