amazing pictures
on October 31, 2012
Posted by: j picture
Love the camera. Excellent playback on camera, beautiful videos, and nice pictures. Purchased because it was HD-able to connect to HDMI TV. Was very disappointed that a HDMI cable was not included with camera. Our two other Cannon cameras had connectors with them for viewing on TV.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Awesome. Really.

This is my first camera with more than 8 megapixels, and let me tell you, i'm blown away. I took the camera out to a local fort with a friend and the photos came out beautifully. Also, the video is extremely clear. Highest definition I have personally ever recorded in. Small, easy to use, and efficient. I love my new camera!
Pros: excellent image quality, Bright LCD, Lightweight/Portable, Simple controls/menu, easy to use
I would recommend this to a friend!

Worst canon model I had (of 5)
on January 1, 2013
Posted by: Rob
I'm a diehard Canon fan, but very disappointed in this model. I like the capabilities and the quality for daylight images. The biggest downside is dust (in the air) reflection in flash images very often, due, I suspect, to the lens being too close to the flash for the wide angle setting. Red eye reduction also seems largely ineffective and flash range is poor (compared to SD900 Elph). Features are plentiful, but correspondingly hard to get to as you have to scroll to get to them - no quick access to common ones (except full auto), so by the time you get the setting you need to make a good shot, whatever you're shooting has been gone a long time. Anyway, I love all 4 of my other Canon digital cameras so I'll probably buy Canon again, but I'll do a much more thorough test in the store first.
Pros: Nice features/settings, Bright LCD, Lightweight/Portable
Cons: Poor image quality, Poor Low-Light Performance, Difficult to use
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

High Speed Video, 240 fps, Shutter Speeds
on September 19, 2014
Posted by: Chas Tennis
from Baltimore, Maryland
For athletic motions such as tennis strokes and golf swings high speed video can be very valuable for analysis.
One problem is that most cameras in high speed video mode use an automatic exposure control that selects shutter speed based on available light. The shutter speed that a camera will select in high speed video mode is difficult to determine from camera specs alone.
Looking for a low cost camera that would have a fast enough shutter for testing, I decided on the Canon 110HS.
My testing indicated that in bright sunlight using the widest angle zoom setting, at 240 fps, the shutter speed was fast enough to show the tennis serve with small motion blur.

My Elph 110 HS
on April 11, 2014
Posted by: ChuckO
Have used for a few years, thousands of shots. Excellent as a small camera. I like the infinity focus incase there is rain on the window or something else close I don't want the autofocus to select. For me this is one of the most important features in an autofocus camera. But no matter how great the camera, after time dust gets on the CCD and you first see it on telephoto shots.
Pros: Fast auto-focus, Superior build quality, infinity setting, small but excellent, setting selection
I would recommend this to a friend!

Sharper Than Some, Noisier Than Some
on June 29, 2012
Posted by: MK
from Aiea, Hawaii
Based on Canon's representation that the DIGIC 5 processor "provides a major boost in noise reduction," I decided to pre-order the ELPH 110 HS – the 310 HS has a longer zoom lens range, but starts at 28mm and did not have the 24mm wider angle that I wanted. The 110 HS is also available in black, whereas the 310 HS did not have a black model. The 310 HS also has the DIGIC 4 processor, not the newer DIGIC 5 processor that provided the "major boost in noise reduction."
I purchased the Canon ELPH 100 HS camera last year to try out the Canon HS System. I was impressed with the relatively clean-looking images that can be taken in low light, compared to the noticeably noisy images taken with my older cameras. However, when I zoomed in on parts of the images to look at details, the images were soft and lacking the detail I wanted. The ELPH 100 HS also did not have an optical zoom for video – only a digital zoom, and only if the still image aspect ratio is set at 4:3. I considered getting the ELPH 300 HS, which had a 24mm wide angle lens and which did have optical zoom for video, but I decided to go for the models with the newer DIGIC 5 processor.
Then I read a magazine review of the ELPH 110 HS that said that they considered a clean image to be one that contains less than 1.5 percent noise, but that the Elph 110 HS was only able to keep noise under this threshold through ISO 200, a surprisingly low setting. The review also mentioned that the ELPH 310 HS did a much better job both in terms of image noise and preservation of detail — it kept noise under 1.5 percent through ISO 800, while managing to do a great job with image detail through ISO 400. The review was disappointing -- apparently, instead of producing a "major boost in noise reduction," the DIGIC 5 processor in the 110 HS was noisier than the DIGIC 4 processor in the 310 HS. Unfortunately, although the 310 HS has a longer zoom lens range, the lens starts at 28mm and did not have the 24mm wider angle that I wanted. The 110 HS is also available in black, whereas the 310 HS did not have a black model. So, I went ahead with getting the 110 HS, anyway.
Since receiving the 110 HS on April 2, 2012, I have been using it as my everyday carry camera – it is as thin and light as my 100 HS. The images taken in bright daylight look fine to me. When zoomed in on the computer, the images do look a bit noisy, but they are sharper than the images taken with my 100 HS. When I zoomed in on the images in the camera and on the computer, I could see more detail, even in the images taken indoors. So there still is the trade off between sharpness and noise – on the balance, I prefer the additional detail that I get with the 110 HS, even though there is more noticeable noise. In addition, the 110 HS provides the wider 24mm angle and provides optical zoom during video.
Unfortunately, the 110 HS is the same as the 100 HS regarding the limitation on the use of digital zoom – digital zoom is only available at the 4:3 still image aspect ratio, while I prefer to shoot at the 3:2 still image aspect ratio to match the 4 X 6-inch prints that I usually order. I was surprised to find that the images taken with the digital zoom looked better than the images taken at the maximum optical zoom and cropped on the computer to match the magnification of the digital zoom, so now I set the camera at the 4:3 still image aspect ratio with the digital zoom turned on in case I want to take quick snapshots with the digital zoom.
The 110 HS is a good compact camera that is my current everyday carry camera to have handy for quicky snapshots of things and people -- it is my fifth Canon compact camera (but the first one in black). If, however, images with lower noise are desired, there are other camera models around this price range and size that should be considered and, of course, there are more expensive cameras with bigger sensors that will provide images with lower noise.
Pros: Nice features/settings, Bright LCD, Lightweight/Portable, easy to use
Cons: Short battery life, extra canon battery is expensive
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Best Camera Ever
on September 20, 2013
Posted by: Red
from Michigan
I was at a lake with family and my camera slipped out of my pocket and into the lake. I watched as it went 6 feet to the bottom, my heart sank. It was retrieved quickly. Long story short when i got home i did the rice in a bag for 3 days but that did not work. Last resort i put my camera in front of my hairdryer and let the air blow on the camera. It worked!!!! I did not loose any pictures and the camera works like it had never been in water. I LOVE THIS CAMERA.
Pros: Fast auto-focus, Superior build quality, Super-sharp images
I would recommend this to a friend!
