Canon PowerShot ELPH 110 HS 16.1 MP CMOS Digital Camera with 5x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom 24mm Wide-Angle Lens and 1080p Full HD Video Recording (Black) (OLD MODEL)

I got this to replace the Canon ELPH 300 HS powershot camera which broke (my fault) and i was about to just order the same model when i saw this one was listed as the newer version, at first i found that a bit odd considering it had a lower number 110 vs 300 and logically one would assume that the 300 HS would be the better model....apparently not so. That is the only gripe about the camera to me as it would confuse users of say the 300 HS who might want a replacement or another copy that this is actually the upgraded version. But once you get over that fact its a great little camera. The 300 HS was a wonderful compact camera that took great photos and videos. I had a Canon Rebel DSLR and a HD Camcorder but lugging both around and switching back and forth between the two was a bit much... so i was at best buy one day and though to myself woudnt it be great to find a smaller camera that could take good pictures and HD videos. and thats when i found the 300 HS which has remarkably well image stabilzation (you can walk with the camera while videoing and it remains rather steady considering) and the image quality for photos was a step above most other smaller cameras and video quality was very well too (even inside with less light) The 110 HS is slightly larger but actually lighter then the 300 HS but has a slightly larger screen (3.0 vs 2.7 inch) and a better image processer, the diffrences ive seen so far is the colors seem to be a tad better, macro focus seems to do better a bit too, and it might seem to be a tad more stable when moving with video.. the difference honestly to me is not worth a upgrade if you have a 300 HS already as it would do you just fine but if you need a replacement or need to get another copy for youreslf or a family or friend.. this would be it. and you might say well why get this if cell phone cameras (which this is not too much bigger then a cell phone) can take videos and pictures too? Lets be honest most cell phone cameras are sub par compared to pretty much any decent compact stand alone camera thas how they save a bit of money if they shoved a 200 buck camera inside of a cell phone it would cost more. The 110 HS will beat images and videos id say even by the Ipad 3 or iphone 5 simply because this was built from the ground up as a photo/video solution. Cell phone cameras are great for sharing stuff with friends but if you want quality that is not as detailed as a pro camera but better then the average "consumer" camera this would be a good match. which to me makes it useful for photographers as well. just because its a compact doesnt mean you really have to compromise too much (unless you are into manual settings) but i have found using a DSLR vs this camera this one is actually a lot easier to use simply because for the most part its auto mode works perfect, even my canon Rebel XTi had problems with yellowing pictures inside with no flash on auto mode, i usually rarely ever had that problem with the 300 HS and from what i seen so far same with the 110 HS. so think about that. this camera has a better auto mode then some 600 buck DSLR cameras (now i am not saying that for the current Canon DSLR cameras i would hope they would have an updated auto mode too as time has passed) but basically all you need to do with this camera is point and shoot and frame the image right and you'll get great photos that will wow your friends! and great video as well! and the plus with the video as with the Canon 110 HS is the video mode is true 24p which for videographers is a nice plus because it will make the videos look a tad step up from the average compact camera video! also one tip if you have a HD TV or a widescreen 16:9 computer moniter you can set the photos to 16:9 which will make them fit when viewed back on those displays easily (or if you want to integrate them into your HD video using a video editor too!) it can also shoot in other aspect ratios which makes the options nice. also of note the slow motion mode (i didnt test it on here but it should be the same as the 300 HS) is really fun as well! for the size and price you really cant go wrong with this camera, just one suggestion is to get a nice little case for it (the one thats listed with the product underneath works great) to keep it safe and thats what I should have got for my last one haha :-) Somehow i think even though its only just a bit better then the 300 HS its going to inspire to do more video and photos :-) and with the holidays coming up this is the best time to get it!

I bought this to take on vacation and have been experimenting with some photos beforehand and all I can say is, I wish I bought this sooner! The photos are so clean and crisp. The battery last for multiple days and the size of the camera makes it so easy and fun to carry around. I sent several of my friends the link because they wanted to get one after using mine!

I just received this camera today, so I've only taken a handful of photos with it. So far I don't have any complaints. I have a DSLR so I know my way around a camera, but I wanted something small to carry everywhere so I don't have to lug my DSLR everywhere. I took a few low light shots and they have turned out well enough for a point and shoot. Pros: Picture quality is great for a point and shoot. There are a lot of menu settings that allow you to tweak photos and add different effects. It is small and lightweight. It is simple to use if you've owned other Canon point and shoots before. The menu systems are similar, etc. The tripod mount is near the middle, so the camera can be mounted on a small tripod without tipping one way. Cons: I've noticed that the flash is poorly placed. If you use the flash there's a small bit of the photo near the lower right corner that is dark because of the flash placement. If you use a wider angle than needed the dark spot can be cropped out. I haven't really tested the video yet other than viewing a video on camera. When I get time I'll make a video and load it on the computer to test the quality. There are plenty of test videos on YouTube that show the quality. So far this camera has performed above average as far as the other point and shoots I've owned. I have a Powershot Elph SD1000 that I bought about 5 years ago and my first digital Canon was the Powershot Elph SD100. I have been pleased with all of my Canon camera purchases. The SD100's shutter died on me after about 5 years and then I bought the SD1000. My SD1000 is still working, but I felt like I needed an upgrade. I would highly recommend this camera for someone looking to get a small camera to carry on a daily basis. I will update if I feel I have anything else to add to this review. Edit: I upgraded from 4 to 5 stars because I found that you can change the ISO if you choose program mode. So the only fault I have found with the camera is the flash issue. I would recommend purchasing a 16g class 10 SD card if you want to take video. Right now I have an 8g Class 6 SD card, it works well enough, but I may find myself in a situation where I want to take some video and photos and need more room.

My 1 1/2-year-old Canon 300 HS developed a flaw in mid-September 2012. The doors covering the lens that are supposed to open when you turn on the camera started getting stuck. Lubricating the doors with a small amount of light oil didn't help. I sent the camera to Canon last spring and had them repair the same problem under warranty. But six months later it has arisen again, and the camera is now out of warranty. I don't know if it is my fault -- the camera has some tiny dings in the metal donut around the lens -- but it had them back in the spring and they were still on the camera when it was returned to me in working condition. Because any repair is likely to cost at least $100, or more than half the cost of a replacement, and the problem may still recur, I decided to just buy a new camera. The closest replacement is the Canon 110 HS, $180 at Amazon at the time of my purchase (the 300 HS was nearly $300 when I bought it). It has a CMOS sensor (important for better low-light pictures), 5x optical zoom, an F2.7 24mm (wide-angle) lens, optical image stabilization, and takes both 720p and 1080p hi-def video, just like the 300 HS. Where it is different is that although the case is exactly the same size as the 300 HS, the screen is a little larger, it offers what appears to be a lower-compression jpeg storage option ('superfine' versus 'fine,' compared to 'fine' and 'normal' on the 300 HS), it has a 16 megapixel sensor instead of 12, and the battery and charger are different from the ones in previous Canon pocket cameras. I have a minor criticism (and a major one shown below). Increasing the pixel count is not necessarily a good thing. Having 16 megapixels is silly for a pocket camera that most people use for casual and family photos. We share photos mostly by email and on sites like Facebook using around 1 megapixel, and you can print a good 4x6 photo with around 1.5 megapixels. You can even print a good 8x10 with 2.5 or 3 megapixels -- more pixels simply don't show in the print. Moreover the higher-megapixel pictures take more room on your hard drive and take your computer longer to edit. The only time I find extra megapixels useful is when I'm stuck with the pocket camera in a superzoom situation and I'm forced to use digital zoom or have to deeply crop the image in the computer. It doesn't happen very often. Some people say that putting more megapixels in the same-size sensor leads to more image noise or more aggressive noise reduction, which in turn leads to less-sharp pictures. This may be true but I have compared photos from my 300 HS with the 110 HS, and have not seen evidence of greater noise or less-sharp images in this camera. In order to mitigate the hard-drive-space problem and reduce processing time I've set the camera to use only 8 megapixels for ordinary photos. I have a superzoom camera for situations (like sports) where I want a lot of usable pixels in the subject. At 8 megapixels the 110 HS performs remarkably well. If the situation warrants, it is easy enough to switch back to 16 megapixels. My major criticism is about the battery and this is the reason for giving the camera only 4 stars. Canon changed the battery and the charger and they are not compatible with older equipment. This information is shown in the camera description but I glossed over it -- if I had noticed it I would have considered moving to another brand of camera since my old stock of Canon-compatible batteries and chargers would no longer be useful. If the new battery (called NB 11L) were larger or had greater capacity than the old, I might regard the change as desirable, but they have in fact moved in the other direction. There may be some design constraint in the new camera that I don't know about which left less room for a battery. If so it is not obvious. I was tempted to return the camera for this reason, but decided to keep it because it is, after all, a very good camera. Update June 2013: The camera surprised me with one feature. It takes great low-light photos. When it is set to 'night shot' the upper range of ISO is opened up, 1600 and 3200. In a low-light situation it takes a picture, then pauses for a few seconds to process the image. The result is a clear, sharp image that looks as if it had been taken with a great deal more light. The noise reduction program in this camera is far more advanced than the one in my PC-based image editor. The image is not trashed! I tried a more expensive camera, a Nikon P330, in similar low-light situations, and was disappointed in the results. The Canon 110HS proved much better.

I have had my Canon ELPH now for about 2 months and it has been an awesome camera. The overall picture quality is amazing: the details are sharp and the colors are both vivid and true to life. The best compliment I can give this camera is that it takes pictures that look like they are taken by a real photographer! I am also pleased with how small and easy to carry around it is. I can just slip it in my purse or pocket (I did buy a CaseLogic case with clip attachment) and I have gotten so many more good on the spot pictures because of that. The one thing I most wanted was a faster focus-and-shoot. I like to take pictures of animals and people and they dont always stay in perfect position! Before I bought the Canon I had a basic Nikon Coolpix which was a nice enough camera that had good reviews, but it seemed you had to hold thefocus button halfway so long that my subjects would move just a bit - and the pictures would often end up a little blurred. I didn't want to get a more sophisticated camera with the ability to change shutter speed - I wanted a no fuss point-and-shoot. I kept looking through product reviews until I found the ELPH and I am so glad that I did the research! There are alot of excellent and thorough reviews on this camera (as well as about many other SLRs) on Amazon - and I read most of them! I appreciate the information they offered as they were helpful to me in making my decision so I wont try to repeat all the technical details. I just wanted to let potential buyers know that if they have been frustrated with unrealistic focus and shoot results that the ELPH has worked out great for me and is a quality digital camera. I hope this was helpful! . t

I was really excited to get this digital camera, but I was disappointed after using it for a week. I'm not a photographer, but I'm decent when it comes to taking pictures and what to expect. I wasn't expected anything amazing from a point and shoot camera, but I do feel this camera could be a little better. Things I Love About This Camera: - It doesn't take long to turn on the camera and start taking pictures, which I think is really nice. - The HD videos are really nice. I've uploaded a couple to Youtube and you will get the full 1080p resolution as stated. The color in the videos are vibrant, and everything looks great. The audio quality is decent. - It's size is nice. It isn't a hassle to take around with you, which I've been taking it everywhere with me. - It feels like a quality product, expect for the door you open and close to remove/ put in the battery and SD card. Dislikes: - The picture quality wasn't as good as I thought it would be. The pictures aren't blurry, but they're not crisp neither. I feel that it's good at focusing on some things, while it loses quality near the edges of a picture, and I'm not talking about macro neither. - Not having an auto focus feature, for reasons stated above. - I'm not known for having big fingers, but I feel like the buttons are a little hard to push, you have to use more of the tip of your finger to really hit the button. - I don't like that it doesn't come with an SD card, but I assume that's common when purchasing a digital camera. I did a lot of research on this camera before I purchased it, and I only bought it because it was supposed to be one of the "best point and shoot camera's" available, but I disagree. I should have looked around a little more before settling on this camera. It's great for the average person, but not great for those of you who are looking for a point and shoot camera with great quality pictures.

I bought this to replace a Canon ELPH 300 HS, essentially similar, which became defective after 15 months and several thousand photos. My main criterion originally was the very wide field of vision, which is about as wide as you will find in compact camera. The picture quality is good. It is very good in low light. The tiny flash is remarkably effective, but it is easy to get a finger in front of it. Color balance ("white balance") is good, and is selected automatically for the light source. Beyond that, you can set the color balance manually. The range of capabilitie is enormous, and it will take you a while to learn to use them. It is a point-and-shoot camera, but if you press the wrong buttons, it may take a while to figure out how to restore the camera to operating the way you want. The package is very small and light, easily carried in a pocket. The main caution is the auto-focus, which can be slow under certain lighting conditions. We discovered this with our previous ELPH, when we noted that some pictures had a degraded resolution, while usually the pictures were sharp. The solution is to press the shutter release partially until the camera has finished auto-focusing, and only then press the rest of the way. The lens has some barrel distortion, especially at the widest angles. This means that the center of the image bulges outward somewhat. This is most noticeable in pictures involvings straight lines, such as the sides of buildings. If you buy the camera, get a couple of extra batteries. The battery type is unusual, and you will need at least one spare on a long outing. The camera comes with an appropriate battery charger. The camera does not come with a case. The Case Logic TBC-302 FFP fits it perfectly.

My Husband and I were planning a trip to Niagara Falls for our anniversary. We wanted a camera that was easy to carry and dependable. We researched online and found two models we liked and had good reviews. We did not want to blow our budget on a camera. We chose the Canon Powershot ELPH 110. We ordered it online and it arrived in less then 5 days. We read instructions which were very simple to follow. We took a few trials photo before leaving on our trip. I was amazed at the clarity of our pictures.We took great wide angle pictures of the Niagara Falls, plus while we were moving on our tour bus the pictures were not blurry but very clear. We have some great pictures at night as well.The camera is small enough to carry in your shirt pocket or in a purse. It is very functional for all our picture taken.We took video pictures while riding on the Maid of the Mist boat. They more very clear along with good audio. I feel this is a great little camera that suits all our needs. Very easy to use, very light weight, good clarity. We purchased a memory card and a camera case at the time we ordered.

Now, i have to start off with, if your looking for amazing pictures like dslrs can bring, well your in the wrong place... This camera has amazing pictures for a POINT AND SHOOT, i took it to mexico and we took pictures of the sunrise from the ocean! It was really good pictures and i have not experienced any blurry pictures unless im rushing! Now, i have mainly bought this camera for its video 1080p capability! Its video quality is literally 1080p and i can guarantee that you will be happy with the video! The sound quality is good for a point and shoot, i do not like where they put the microphone because its right beside the shutter button and ur finger can easily over it so if your vlogging or something it will be very muffled! But if you can get around that, then your fine! AGAIN this camera will not equal up to like a canon rebel or something! So dont compare! Screen directory is pretty simple its either auto or manual, i myself dont really know what im doing in manual mode so i just leave it on auto and its perfect for what i use it for! To wrap up, the camera is reasonably priced for its suprising quality you will recieve! Enjoy your purchase!

This camera arrived really quickly and worked great. If you're looking for a simple, small camera that's actually good and worth the price this is what I would recommend. It's easy to take pictures and record videos and it fits in your pocket so all you have to do is whip it out and press two buttons to use it. Video is about 20fps and 1080p which is what I was looking for and this is the cheapest camera I found that does that well. The only cons are not too great battery life (especially when you leave it plugged into the computer for too long) and sometimes it stops recording if you've recorded over 15 minutes straight but you can just press the record button and keep going.

I love this little camera. It takes great pictures. Small enough to put in my purse so I always have it with me. You never know when i would have an amazing picture that I can take because I always have it with me so I don't miss out. This was a great buy.

I own tons of Canon cameras and this is one of many and I use it all the time . If you are looking for a good compact camera go the Canon rout . Canon products are good products and they are well worth the money . The higher the megapixels you get the better the images you can produce with your photography .

It has the same pixel which is my last camera, and it's more expensive than the old one. However, the quality of the picture it takes is lower than the Sony one and it's larger and heavier.
