The Canon PowerShot SX110 IS - Zoom in on Exceptional Value.

From a 10x Optical Zoom lens to advanced Canon technology that automatically gives you the best shot, the 9.0-megapixel PowerShot SX110 IS packs impressive value. Advanced Face Detection Technology automatically sets focus, exposure, flash and white balance for beautiful portraits and group shots. Sharp, steady close-ups are easy with the powerful zoom and Canon's Optical Image Stabilizer Technology. The slim and modern-looking SX110 IS is sized to go everywhere, and you'll never miss a detail with the big, bright LCD screen.

Value to Spare - Exceptional value in a compact ultra-zoom 9.0 Megapixel digital camera.
The PowerShot SX110 IS is equipped with many of the same features as a higher-end camera: An ultra-powerful zoom, eye-popping resolution and advanced picture-improving technology. This compact camera sports a fast, steady 10x optical zoom that keeps up with your most ambitious shooting: No more standing on the sidelines wishing you could get in closer. 9.0 megapixels of resolution give your photography incomparable depth and ensure that any section of any shot can be enlarged and cropped with no loss in quality.

Powerful Zoom, True-to-Life Imaging - Zoom in for sharp, steady close-ups with Canon's 10x Optical Zoom lens with Optical Image Stabilizer Technology.
The PowerShot SX110 IS has a 10x optical zoom lens that makes it easy to get the inspiring, emotive close-ups that will make your images lasting keepsakes. This magnificent lens gives you the power to shoot distant subjects with razor-sharp precision and stunning lifelike color. So you can brilliantly capture a bird high atop a tree, a child's winning goal from across the stadium or a school play from the last row. Plus, thanks to Canon's highly sophisticated Optical Image Stabilizer Technology, even at maximum zoom, every image is rock steady.

The PowerShot SX110 IS is equipped with Canon's acclaimed Optical Image Stabilizer Technology that automatically detects and corrects camera shake - one of the leading causes of fuzzy or blurred shots. Even when zoomed in, you can get the steady, crisp, brilliant images you'll be proud to shoot and share. And Canon's Optical Image Stabilizer Technology is convenient to use. It functions perfectly with or without a flash.

It's All About Capturing the Smiles - DIGIC III Image Processor with Genuine Canon Face Detection AF/AE/FE/WB sets the focus, exposure, flash and white balance automatically so you always capture the perfect face.

    DIGIC III Image Processor - With DIGIC III, your images boast superior quality, the camera operates at top efficiency and battery life is enhanced. What's more, DIGIC III enables Canon's Face Detection, Motion Detection Technologies and Red-eye Correction to give you better, more true-to-life people shots. Simply press the shutter button halfway down, and the camera automatically pinpoints the faces in the scene and chooses the ideal focus point. The camera controls exposure settings and flash to keep every face looking bright and natural. The camera also selects and sets the optimal exposure and ISO settings automatically to keep everything looking sharp and clear. Red-eye Correction can be handled in-camera, in two ways. The Red-eye Correction during shooting uses the Face Detection Technology to recognize and remove red-eye from images as they're taken, before the file is written to the memory card. It's also possible to correct red-eye during image playback, using simple settings in the SX110 IS's menu.

    iSAPS Technology is an entirely original scene-recognition technology developed for digital cameras by Canon. Using an internal database of thousands of different photos, iSAPS works with the fast DIGIC III Image Processor to improve focus speed and accuracy, as well as exposure and white balance.

    DIGIC III features Face Detection technologies, giving you the best possible results in any shooting situation. Face Detection AF/AE sets the focus point and exposure for the faces of your subjects. Face Detection FE adjusts the flash to correctly illuminate your subject to provide the best balance between your subject and the overall scene, eliminating the common problems of over and underexposed faces.

    Face Detection WB means the camera concentrates upon faces when calculating white balance for the best possible skin tones. Face Select and Track lets you highlight one face among several in a scene, and the camera concentrates on that person, even as they move around the scene. Face Detection Technology is a powerful contributing factor in Canon's Motion Detection Technology. Simply press the Face Selector Button, then the selected face is double-framed and tracked when the face moves in the frame.

    Motion Detection Technology works in the background to instantly evaluate how fast your subject is moving. It automatically selects and sets the optimal exposure and ISO settings to keep everything looking sharp and clear. This feature provides higher ISOs when you need it for action-stopping shutter speeds. But when no movement is detected, it sets lower ISOs for excellent color and detail.

    Life doesn't give you second chances to capture special times. That's why the PowerShot SX110 IS features ISO 1600 and High ISO Auto settings that reduce the effects of camera shake and sharpen subjects in low-light situations, giving you greater shooting flexibility.

    Red-eye Correction provides three options for removing red-eye from subjects in flash pictures.
    1) The Red-eye Correction during shooting actually identifies and corrects red-eye in human subjects as pictures are taken.
    2) The SX110 IS can be set to automatically detect and correct red-eye during image playback.
    3) You can manually locate any red eyes in a scene during image playback on the LCD screen, and command the camera to remove them.


Slim, Modern Shape and a Big LCD - Take your camera everywhere with this new slim design and large, bright 3.0-inch LCD.
You'll want to have your PowerShot SX110 IS with you wherever you go, and a slim new design makes it easy. Subtly rounded for an easy grip, the camera exudes modern elegance and simplicity. The back panel's neat, intuitive interface includes a luxuriously big 3.0-inch LCD screen. And the LCD screen's quality is as impressive as its size: You'll get an exceptionally clear, bright view of all your shots, and enjoy a conveniently wide viewing angle for showing off your pictures to friends and family.

Power on the Go - AA batteries for power anywhere
Conveniently, you don't need to worry about running out or recharging of batteries. Since AA-size batteries can be purchased at any store, simply get new ones locally-no special power adapters or chargers are needed wherever you go.

Instant Creative Control - A wide range of shooting modes to capture anything.
Now you're free to concentrate on what really counts-your subject. With the large simple-to-operate Mode Dial, all you have to do is turn to the setting that best matches the scene you're viewing through the lens. The PowerShot SX110 IS does the rest. It chooses the perfect exposure, aperture and flash. Or if you want to flex your creative muscles, choose Manual Control and do it all yourself. You've got Special Scenes Modes to handle a wide range of common shooting situations-effortlessly. With 20 Shooting Modes including 8 Special Scene Modes, you're ready for whatever shot comes your way:

Shooting Modes - Advanced presets for the best possible photos under certain conditions.

    Auto - The camera chooses all the settings so you can concentrate on your subject.
    Easy - Keep the image quality as high as possible for fail-proof images.
    P Program - Access advanced exposure compensation features while shooting mostly automatically.
    Av Aperture-priority - You define the aperture to either isolate your subject or have clarity throughout the entire picture, and the camera will choose the corresponding shutter speed.
    Tv Shutter-priority - You select the shutter speed to stop or blur action, and the camera finds the appropriate aperture. With slow exposure times, Canon's noise reduction system activates to ensure low image noise.
    Manual - The ultimate in creative control, you set selecting both aperture and shutter speed manually.
    Portrait - The camera sets a large aperture, focusing the subject and artistically blurring the background to make your subject pop.
    Landscape - For front to back sharpness, the camera sets a small aperture.
    - Indoor - Reduce blur and improve color accuracy when shooting handheld indoors.
    Kids & Pets - Reduced focusing time freezes fast-moving subjects, so you won't miss those special shots.
    Night Snapshot - Get natural-looking pictures with brighter backgrounds and subjects lit by flash.
    Movie - Shoot in VGA (640 x 480 at 30 fps/30 fps LP) and QVGA (320 x 240 at 30 fps) for up to 1 hour or 4GB per clip, or QQVGA (160 x 120 at 15 fps) for up to 3 minutes per clip.
Special Scene Modes

    Night Scene - For impressive sunset or nightlife shots, the camera properly exposes the background and uses slow-sync flash for the subject.
    Foliage - Capture brilliant shots of autumn foliage, greenery and blossoms.
    Snow - Shoot clear snow scenes without darkened subjects or an unnatural bluish tint.
    Beach - Get clear shots of people at a sunny beach without darkened faces.
    Sunset - Capture stunning sunsets with all the dazzle and impact.
    Fireworks - Grab brilliant images of skyrocketing fireworks.
    Aquarium - Achieve proper flash-free exposure and natural hues at indoor aquariums.

A solid camera, but a little iffy

"I don't mean to put down Canon's sales, but this particular camera loses to Panasonic's own compact superzoom, the lumix DMC TZ5. Canon's lens rotated slower, the menus are more confusing in my opinion (I was trying out the camera at a store, as well as Panasonics for the first time for both, so I was not used to either interface). While the color of Canon's pictures overall seemed to be more vibrant, Panasonic..." Read Full Review »
