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 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.

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 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 researched alot of Digital Cameras and read many, many of the reviews before deciding to purchase this one. I actually bought 2 of them for x-mas gifts. Keeping in mind that they were not real expensive cameras, I didn't expect anything too extraordinary. After arriving, I checked them both out to make sure they worked good before x-mas. The batteries actually charged quicker than I expected (about 2 hours). The cameras do not come with a memory card, which I knew, so I bought one with the camera. I played with the features briefly and took a few pics. The auto focus worked good, and the pics seemed pretty clear. The zoom worked good indoors. I don't know how it would work outside zooming on something far away... my trial shots were taken indoors. There is a small delay between pushing the button and when the pic is actually taken, plus another small delay before the pic is shown on the viewing screen. If you want a camera with a real quick response time, this one is not for you. However, as a x-mas gift for 2 teenage boys, this camera should be more than sufficient. Especially since I got them for around $130 each. Also, since this camera does not take regular batteries, I bought an extra for each camera. If the battery for the camera dies, it would be good to have a 2nd one charged and ready to go. Even though they charge fairly quick, a 2nd would be very handy, and they are not that expensive... I got a charger and 2 batteries for around $20. A little slow on taking and showing pics... wish it took regular AA bateries... wish it came with a memory card.... Overall, a good camera for the novice photographer (a.k.a. teenagers). If you are looking for more... spend more money and get a top of the line camera.

I own a Canon DSLR and love it, but...it is in some ways, an inconvenient camera. I have lugged it up mountain trails, packed it into waterproof bags and taken it downstream, and missed lots of shots while tugging it out. I won't leave it on a kitchen counter or table to be grabbed in the moment because it cost way too much money to risk damage. I realized, while noting that everyone is capturing every moment on their smartphone cameras, that I am missing out. So, I bought an ELPH 110, which I proceeded to somehow lose on my first hike with it. SO, I came right back to Amazon and shelled out the money for another...and a better case, with a carbiner clip. That was in May 2013...and that camera was wonderful. I captured images and video of my kids' kindergarten and 8th grade graduations that was, at least aesthetically, as good as my DSLR--it certainly captured more light in low-light settings. The video feature is great; I loaded clips easily onto a DVD, and made some memorable summer films. I took neat nature shots with the macro lens, experimented with the B&W and color saturation features, and logged a daily vacation journal with crisp, clear photos. I carried it in my purse and left it on the kitchen counter--it has served exactly the purpose I intended and more. Then, while rushing to get outside and take a photo of a friend goofing off, I dropped it on a hardwood floor--hard. Cracked the screen, jammed the lens. There is no fixing this mess. UGH. So, I logged onto Amazon and bought another. I've now spent as much on these as I have my DSLR body. I just thought that this illustrates that his camera is worth buying again...and again...and again.

Great camera. Very easy to use, but, must read the instructions. Gives great pictures and video. The big fault in this camera that makes me very upset, is: When you activate the Zoom at the time of shooting video, the sound of the zoom appears at the sound truck of the video movie. It is SO BAD. sound as some kind of tractor. I don't know if it's only my camera...I think it is a BIG BUG in this model. If I knew it, I would not buy this Camera. How can you shoot videos with this sound appearing at the sound truck????? I don't know what to do about it !!! update: Please see the video samples in this wonderful site: [...] There you can hear the noise this camera makes. Must tell you, when you film in a quite place, the noise is much louder !! I was reading many reviews and I think I will try the Panasonic ZS20 or ZS15. I went over many sites and found that the problem of zoom nose appears at many compact cameras. Only the reviews of Panasonic ZS20 or ZS15 (Especially ZS15) say there is not any noise. Watch yourself at these links (Down at the bottom of the page you can find about 3 movies): [...] [...] I can't understand why Cannon released this model with this upsetting bug. It's a shame for such company. Update: I bought Panasonic Lumix ZS15 I like it. It has not any zoom noise when recording video. The Panasonic is too big. I really liked the Canon but could not stay with this zoom noise. Really upset about it. I really must mention, that the service I got from Amazon was great. When I send Amazon a message that I don't know what to do about the Zoom noise, the next day, they sent me a new Canon camera... I returned the 2 cameras, because of that noise and bout the Panasonic. Amazon = Great !!

I recently lost my camera and I love to take pictures for memories sake as well as record my favorite songs at concerts. I'm not a photographer, but like to edit my pictures and I appreciate the difference in quality between the 16.1 MP on this camera as compared to my previous 12ish MP Canon Powershot ELPH 100HS. The images are very vibrant and clear, and the HD quality video recording capabilities inspire me to take on other projects. You will definitely want to purchase a memory card that can hold all of this however, since the camera does not come with one at all. I got a 16GB memory card that should hold about 3738 images at the largest size 16M 4608x3456 (16x20), 7306 8M 3264x2448 (13x19), 9999 2M 1600x1200 (postcard size), and 9999 at the smallest 0.3M 640x480 (email attachments). As for full HD recordings at 1920x1080, you can record up to 58 minutes. I don't plan to record at any less of a quality than that, but as you can imagine your minutes will increase as you decrease your quality settings. This is the perfect camera and value for someone who wants something for everyday use and to travel with. It's sleek and compact, and user friendly! I want to keep it safe and prolong it's use, so I bought a carrying case for it as well. I can't believe this camera and the accessories I purchased for it are all under the price of even half of what my previous camera cost me. I've decided to spread the love and ordered the same camera and accessories for someone else because I love it so much!

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, which Canon described as follows: "The Canon HS SYSTEM lets you take bright, clear photos in an even wider range of shooting situations. Beautiful low-light shots are possible with minimal noise and maximum detail in highlight and shadow areas. The system is the result of two technologies brought together in PowerShot cameras: a high-sensitivity imaging sensor, which is able to capture more light; and the DIGIC Image Processor, which actively reduces noise with high-speed image processing. The 16.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor in the PowerShot ELPH 110 HS digital camera incorporates advanced light reception technology that enhances sensitivity. The DIGIC 5 Image Processor provides a major boost in noise reduction, expanding the usable ISO range to an amazing high of ISO 3200. The Canon HS SYSTEM takes the frustration out of low-light shooting, delivering clear, blur-free images." Based on the representation that the DIGIC 5 processor "provides a major boost in noise reduction," I decided to pre-order the ELPH 110 HS at $249 on Amazon.com. - 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 100 HS and 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." Then I read the review by PC Magazine: "I used Imatest to measure the sharpness of photos captured by the Elph 110 HS, and the results were actually quite good. We consider a sharp image to be one that contains a center-weighted average of 1,800 lines per picture height, and the 110 HS exceeded that--recording 2,189 lines. In this regard the camera ran circles around the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH27 ($229.95, 2.5 stars), a camera that only managed 1,548 lines. High ISO performance was another matter entirely. We consider a clean image to be one that contains less than 1.5 percent noise. The Elph 110 HS was only able to keep noise under this threshold through ISO 200, a surprisingly low setting. That said, it only registered about 1.6 percent at ISO 400 and ISO 800, so it isn't going to produce terribly grainy photos at higher ISO settings. That's the good news. The bad news is that the camera applies some pretty aggressive noise reduction to hit even these just-ok numbers. Detail is slightly diminished at ISO 400, but you can still make out textures and fine lines in the image. At ISO 800 it's bad, and at ISO 1600 it's pretty terrible--any semblance of texture is gone from your photo by that point. The Canon PowerShot Elph 310 HS does a much better job both in terms of image noise and preservation of detail--it keeps noise under 1.5 percent through ISO 800, while managing to do a great job with image detail through ISO 400. At ISO 800 it's not that bad at all, although at ISO 1600 the 310 HS is also a victim of some heavy-handed noise reduction. . . . . The PowerShot Elph 110 HS is a good compact camera, but not a great one. Its lens is sharp, but Canon's decision to cram 16 megapixels onto a tiny sensor results in noisy images at higher ISO settings. The camera attempts to counteract this with noise reduction, but only serves to kill detail in photos at higher ISOs. This won't be a problem on smaller-size screens, but if you want to share your photos on larger LCDs or prints, the lack of texture and detail at higher ISO settings will be noticeable. Canon also turns out to be its own worst enemy here--if the PowerShot 310 HS wasn't available for a mere $10 more, the 110 HS would be easier to recommend. The 310 HS, which earned our Editors' Choice award for midrange compact cameras, features a nearly identical design and a more impressive 8x zoom lens. It does have fewer megapixels and its lens doesn't provide the extra-wide 24mm field of view of the 110 HS, but when you consider the noise reduction that the 110 HS requires to shoot images at ISO 800 and above, you really aren't losing much in terms of image quality when shooting in anything but bright light." This 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. Now the question was whether I should cancel my pre-order of the 110 HS. I put off the decision, because the "release date" for the 110 HS was not until March 31, 2012. On March 30, I noticed that the price had dropped by $20, so I decided to cancel my pre-order. But then I saw that my order of the 110 HS at the original price of $249 was labeled as having been shipped, so it was too late to cancel. [UPDATE JUNE 30, 2012 -- two months after the release date, the price of the ELPH 110 HS has dropped by $50 or twenty percent -- it does make my decision to pre-order the camera and not cancel the pre-order in time look pretty bad -- that will be the last time I pre-order from Amazon.com a new Canon camera model. UPDATE AUGUST 5, 2012 -- four months after the release date, the price of the black ELPH 110 HS has dropped by another $30 or a total of $80 or thirty-two percent from the original $249 that I paid! If I had known, I would have waited four months to save $80 or thirty-two percent.] 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. The images taken at higher ISOs 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 sharpness 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. I compared images of a FedEx truck taken through an office opened window with the digital zoom of the 110 HS and with a 70-300mm (at 300mm or the 35mm equivalent of 450mm) lens on a Nikon D5100. The image taken with the D5100 was less noisy and sharper than the image taken with the digital zoom of the 110 HS, but all of the letters and numbers on the side of the truck could be read in the digital zoom image taken with the 110 HS, except the Grumman name plate on the side of the truck, which could be read only in the image taken with the D5100. I was pleased to learn that I could take usable photos with the 110 HS when I am not carrying the DSLR and zoom lens with me. If you are looking for a thin, light, and not too expensive [UPDATE -- especially at the $169.99 price as of Aug. 5, 2012; on Nov. 29, 2012, the prices on Amazon.com range from $129 to $179 depending on the color of the camera] everyday carry camera with reasonable sharpness, with a lens with the 24mm angle of view at the wide end of the zoom, and in the color black, the ELPH 110 HS may suit your needs. I decided to keep the 110 HS, which is my fifth Canon compact camera (but the first one in black). The 110 HS is a good compact camera that is my current everyday carry camera to have handy for quicky snapshots of various things and people, but, as PC Magazine said, it is "not a great one." If 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.

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.
