Review: Most Pocketable Advance Compact Available - I tried few of the advance compacts, Sony RX100, Panasonic LX3, LX7, and Canon Powershot S90, S100. Sony RX100 is the best in this category considering image quality and size. Panasonic LX7 and many others are simply too big to be pants pocketable. If it isn't pants pocketable, you have much better options in similar sized mirrorless cameras. Nikon 1 and Olympus PM2 comes to mind. Also, if it's too big, it can't be your always carry camera. STILL, there is one issue with RX100. RX100 is just too darn expensive. It costs more than many of the entry mirrorless cameras. It's fine if you are only getting RX100 for everything, but if you have multiple camera systems, like a DSLR and a Mirrorless system, then RX100 seems bit too much as you would probably want to use your "portable" mirrorless camera as well. I don't want to spend more on a compact than my mirrorless camera or even a DSLR. It will be for snap shots... for always carry type of thing. So, my only other option is Canon Powershot S series. You can get S110 currently for $200. S110 take great quality pictures for a compact camera. I like the jpegs out of the camera and you are able to shoot raw as well. The new touch screen on the camera is very useful. Now, it doesn't have all the controls in buttons and dials. Many of the features are in the menu or quick menus options. I can live with that since I bought it for convenience for snaps with "better" image quality than my cell phone. If you want a serious camera for photography that is portable, you really should get a mirrorless camera since compact cameras are compromise cameras. LX7 has a great lens, but mirrorless camera has prime lenses that can easily beat it. Sony RX100 has a great sensor but even Nikon 1 with their prime lenses can beat it in my opinion as I own them together before. (Nikon 1 with 18.5mm f/1.8 lens can get sharp images with decent bokeh compared with Sony RX100, and it has DSLR like af speed and incredible burst rate.) Canon Powershot S110 is perfect carry everywhere truly pocketable camera. There is nothing better in this size. Again, there is nothing better in this SIZE. Any bigger, just get a mirrorless as a jacket pocketable camera. Sony Nex 3N and Olympus PM2 are very jacketpockable. Nikon 1 J1, J2, J3, S1 of course is another option. As for a "compact" camera, Canon Powershot S beats others in terms of price, convenience (no lens cap), size, features (touch screen), and has similar image quality as other "advance compacts". One more thing, the wifi on S110 is pretty useless. You have to be on wireless network to share pictures with you phone or tablet wirelessly. That kind of defeats the purpose if you are outdoors. Also, no remote shutter or view finder capability as with Samsung cameras. If you won't use the touch screen, S100 with GPS is probably better for you. As for me, I like the touch focus feature on S110, so I went with S110 over other Powershot S series. (Also S95 has 28mm wide versus 24mm on S100 or S110) Well, here is it. If you have other systems and want truly a carry everywhere camera, Canon Powershot S110 is as good as it gets. If you are looking to get one compact as your only camera because you will never carry multiple lenses, LX7 or RX100 or other bigger advance compact may fit you better with more buttons and dials.
Review: Amazing Subcompact Camera That Is Now a Best Buy - The S110 is a truly amazing subcompact camera and is probably the best pocket able camera for under $350 you can buy at today's prices. The Sony RX100 is probably the best subcompact camera but it costs twice the S110 price and is missing some key new features that separate it from the subcompact camera competition. I rated the S110 5 stars because it is a great subcompact camera at a great price. The price does fluctuate so watch for a good deal if you decide to buy. I upgraded my Canon S95 which is still working perfectly two years later after taking over 5000 images. The images I've taken with that camera rival the other more expensive digital cameras with larger sensors and lenses that I own. It's one camera I always have with me. When you compare the S95 with the S110, they almost look identical. There are of course a few changes in the button layout and the surface appearance. Why change a successful camera? The S110 is a tad heavier by a fraction of an ounce over the S95. The interface is the typical Canon interface and it's easy to find your way around. The separate video button is now standard on virtually all cameras today so that's not so special but it is nice to have. The S110 has many new and improved features that make this camera an even a better camera than earlier versions. The processor, sensor and zoom have changed but the basic camera shape remains the same. The things I like a lot that are either new or improved from the Canon S95. The biggest changes came in the S100 released a year ago. That model while improving on the S95 had some lens issues on a number of the cameras especially when it was first released. You can see some of the negative reviews list the problems. If you didn't have a bad lens, you probably loved that camera. Today it sells for more than the S110 which is surprising. The S110 has much faster autofocusing. It allows faster image capture. New image processor. Here are some other things which add greatly to the user experience. 1. Touch Screen interface. Helps in focusing on subject and faster setting things up. 2. WiFi that replaces the GPS unit is not present on S95. There are many possibilities with this... 3. F2 starts wider at 24mm instead of 28mm equiv. 4. Wider zoom range 5X versus 3.8X. So its wider and with more telephoto. 5. Better low light capability and a much expanded ISO range. Very high ISO images are possible. 6. Expanded digital zoom up to 20X is surprisingly good but not typical super zoom quality. 7. Many more manual and custom settings possible. 8. Expanded compensation 9. Slightly improved ergonomics with thumb rest and slightly rougher texture on the surface, allowing a better grasp. You still need the wrist strap for safety reasons. 10. Full high definition video, 1080P at 24FPS with separate video button. 11. Slightly stronger flash. 12. Excellent and expanded image stabilization. (Which is pretty good) 13. Excellent image quality with the new CMOS sensor. Much better low light images. 14. Many advanced features. (it does take time to try everything) 15. Separate charger for the battery, allows charging second battery while using the other battery 16. Has a new level meter to help keep your camera positioned correctly. It does help at times. 17. Contains some self-help on the LCD that can be removed. The things that are not so great and that are not improvements. 1. Smaller battery, the same as the earlier SD series. It means fewer pictures per charge. Two of my earlier Canon subcompacts used the same battery so I now have spares. 2. Change from CCD to CMOS sensor brings some change in image quality and noise. 3. Flash pop up location pushes finger and can startle an unsuspecting holder. 4. HD video is MP4 and allows less video footage but is easier to edit. 5. Still only a small starter manual. Manual is PDF and can be downloaded. 6. No remote trigger. You can set delayed shutter snap at 2 or 10 seconds. 7. Button placement is similar but different. The power button is harder to push. The shutter button is larger. 8. The same popup flash that will hit your finger if you don't change your left hand position. 9. Build quality is very good but is not at the level of the Sony RX100. It is a combination of metal and plastic. Does feel very solid. 10. As you zoom out to about 100mm, the F stop is over F5 and not so great for low light. You may need to raise the ISO to get an image. If you do decide to buy this camera or the Sony RX100, Panasonic LX7, you will not want to retire your dSLR, or Super zoom or whatever because those cameras offer features not possible with a very small camera without viewfinder. The Canon S110 is truly pocket-able and at the current price is half the price of the Sony RX100 making this camera seem like a best buy in the subcompact field. A subcompact camera is a must have camera because, you can carry it everywhere. The current crop of smartphones can take a decent images for the internet but don't come close to the image quality or convenience of the Canon S110 and other subcompact cameras.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why would I buy this at twice the price of the $94 Canon PowerShot130?**
A: Both of the cameras you mention I own. The POWERSHOT ELF 130 is an awesome camera, originally $200. The ELF has an 8X zoom. All metal exterior. The 110 has a 5X zoom and rugged all metal exterior. Both CMOS. To me the 110 was worth more because it has a max aperture of f2.0 where the ELF is f3.2 That's about one "f stop"....It has the new DIGIC processor which is much improved for low light shooting... I have taken a series of shots "at night" with the 110 twice, once at an XMAS night time outdoor festival, once inside a night club with a band. Took interior shots in a church of Xmas choral festivities with the ELF. Both provided good coverage in image quality, dealing with the difficult lighting, providing sharp images, but the sterner test was for the 110--those two "assignments" really stress tested the camera's smarts. Pictures razor sharp and exposed superbly. I am no kid so I liked the larger and brighter display on the 110.

**Q: How is the battery life?**
A: I don't think it is that bad at 200 pics per charge, you can also buy spares very cheaply here on Amazon, for less than $10, extra charger included. If you already own a Canon S100 or SX230, those batteries will also fit this camera.

**Q: Received the camera just now. The packet is not sealed. Is this how they deliver? Was your packet sealed?**
A: The packet shouldn't be sealed, it's just there to keep smudges off.  If the box isn't sealed don't be too alarmed either.

**Q: What case would be recommend for this camera.  I have a Canon PSC-55 from an Elph camera, would this camera fit?**
A: LowePro Wrap.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best in its class. DSLR quality pictures in your pocket. Minor complaints.
*by E***R on January 5, 2015*

This is a deceptively good camera. It looks like countless other point-and-shoot pocket cameras. And the specs are underwhelming to some with only 12 megapixels and a 5X zoom. But this takes better pictures than anything I know of that's this small with a 5X or better zoom (besides perhaps the newer S120). Many don't realize there are big trade offs between cramming more megapixels into a small sensor and making longer range compact zoom lenses. Instead of playing the marketing specs game, Canon aimed this camera (along with the older S90, S100 and newer S120) at more serious photographers who care most about image quality and having pro-like features including RAW format support and full manual operation. You only need use the image comparison tools at the camera review sites to see the S110 takes better pictures than even some much larger long-zoom, higher megapixel, and relatively expensive point-and-shoot cameras--especially in lower light. The S110 genuinely fits in nearly any pocket, has a tough mostly metal body, intuitive menus and the choice of using the buttons and dials or the touch screen for many things. It's great having TWO control dials (one around the lens and one on the back)--a feature lacking even in many lower-end DSLRs. So the front ring might control apeture or focus while the back ring lets you easily adjust ISO, etc. It also doesn't force you to use the touch screen like some small cameras do. The biggest plus for this camera is the image quality--especially in lower light. The sensor needs less noise reduction than most point-and-shoot sensors. That allows this camera to produce sharper, more detailed, and lower noise photos than point-and-shoots with much higher megapixel sensors. Noise reduction destroys detail and this camera needs less of it. so 12 megapixels can outperform 20 megapixels (even printed in very large sizes) in lower light. The zoom is only 5X but much faster at F2.0 and higher quality than the longer zooms in similarly sized cameras. Like the better sensor, that leads to better pictures. Most tiny point and shoot zooms are nearly worthless past about 5X anyway as they reach f8 or f9.5 or worse requring very slow shutter speeds. They also have lousy optical quality with more distortion, chromatic abberation, and less sharpness. The longer the zoom the more compromised the optical quality. If you really need to get closer than 5X the S110's digital zoom works fairly well or you can crop the image in software later. Again, a cropped/digital "10X" zoom image from the S110 will very likely look better than an optical 10X zoom from any similarly sized camera. Long zooms in tiny cameras are mostly marketing hype. This camera also does an excellent job shooting 1080 HD video. Even the microphone is surprisingly decent. The only catch is battery life can limit shooting time (see below). Unlike nearly anything else near this size and price, you can shoot in RAW allowing many more editing options compared to JPG using software such as Lightroom, Photoshop, etc.. With JPG, the images are already highly processed by the camera and much of that processing cannot be "undone." With RAW you get to apply exactly the processing you want as you get pretty much ALL the data from the sensor, not just a compressed processed version of it. So it's much easier to get exactly the right amount of noise reduction, sharpening, color balance, exposure/contrast correction, etc. If you're not going to edit your photos on a PC, however, RAW is of little use but even the JPG shots from this camera look better than nearly anything in its class (again see the review sites). I only have three complaints with this camera (hence removing one star) but two are somewhat understsandable. First, the flash pops up right where you often want to have your finger when gripping the small camera. So far even when it tries to raise the flash with my finger in the way it hasn't harmed anything. You get used to it. It also has somewhat shorter battery life than I'd like but that's due to the small battery and high performance Digic processor. A bigger battery would have meant a bigger camera and I think it's a worthy trade-off. It's especially an issue if you're shooting a lot of video, have the screen on for playback a lot, and/or use the flash a lot. So it's best to carry a spare battery (they take up almost no space). And, finally, it would be nice if this camera supported charging via the USB port for when you're away from home. I'm not sure if they added this for the S120. But, unlike many newer pocket cameras, you still have to charge the S110 battery out of the camera with the small wall charger. If you're in your car, want to use a portable battery pack, etc. you're out of luck. And you have to also bring the charger when traveling. All pocket cameras should have standard micro-USB ports and be able to be charged just like a phone. There are few direct competitors to this Camera. Sony comes closest with the RX100 cameras but the Sony's lens sticks out more, it's much less pocket friendly and it's significantly more expensive. The Panasonic LF1 is another option but is a step backwards in image quality. The newer Canon S120 adds some new features and a slightly faster lens. Other options are also either larger, have inferior sensors, inferior lenses, and/or lack some of the pro features like RAW and full manual.
