Canon PowerShot S110

Canon's latest advanced compact delivers great image quality and responsive touch-screen control.

Excellent image quality ; Solid construction and improved design ; Good handling and performance ; Worthwhile additions to specification

Not the cheapest model on the market ; Wi-Fi functionality lags behind some of its rivals

Canon PowerShot S110 review

Petite but powerful compact camera with the latest tech

Excellent images, inc raw files ; Responsive touchscreen ; Fast f/2.0 lens ; Handy lens control dial

No hotshoe ; Only f/5.9 in telephoto ; Wi-Fi drains battery ; No built-in GPS

Aimed squarely at the serious photography enthusiast, the new Canon PowerShot S110 aspires to build on the success of its original ancestor - the pioneering Canon S90 - bringing with it a host of updated and new features.

Canon PowerShot S110

The Canon PowerShot S110 hits the shelves a little less than a year after the release of Canon's previous high-end S100 compact. But, oh, how the high-end compact landscape has changed in that short time. An abundance of releases with all sorts of...

Touchscreen with movable focus point, great pictures straight from camera, faster autofocus than predecessor, truly pocketable

Wi-Fi implementation is poor, pricey, no hotshoe for accessory expansion, poor battery life - 200 shots per charge is worsened by Wi-Fi and GPS, competition is strong, little new compared to predecessor

Even though the high-end compact camera market is hotting up, the Canon PowerShot S110 still delivers in many areas.

Canon PowerShot S110 review

Canon is dipping its toes into the whirlpool of Wi-Fi sharing with the 12.1MP PowerShot S110, which adds a touchscreen as well as additional connectivity to the fantastic S100 , the aging PowerShot that's sat right near the top of our best compact...

Touchscreen is a welcome upgrade, Remains impressively small, Pictures are still great for the price

Wi-Fi is agonising to set-up

Canon PowerShot S110 review

The canon PowerShot S110 has the same scores as the S100 in build/handling, dynamic range, AWB/colour, metering, autofocus and LCD/viewfinder, with one extra mark for its features and a deduction of two points in noise, resolution and sensitivity...

Canon Digital Camera PowerShot S110 : Canon PowerShot S110 Camera

A small but powerful Digital Camera, ideal for a pocket or handbag for those who want more than that normally on offer from the camera in a phone or smartphone but without the size and weight associated with most DSLR units.

The Canon PowerShot S110 measures 9.5x6x2cm and weighs less than 200grams. It can take images up to 12MP and has an optical zoom of up to 5x. The face has only the 5.2-26mm lens, the right side has a rubberised bung over the A/V and HDMI out ports. The...

PowerShot S110 : Canon PowerShot S110

My apologies to those who were hurrying home from work in Shoreditch recently and were accosted by a bunch of journalists, myself included, taking photos. It was not our fault; blame Canon who sent us out to check out a new camera.

The Canon PowerShot S110 is a pocket-sixe compact camera. It comes with the promise of offering the user a range of features aimed at appealing to gadget-loving users. Included amongst its feature set are built-in WiFi, GPS tagging facility and a 9MP...

Canon PowerShot S110 Review

The Canon PowerShot S110 was released in September 2012 and is a serious pocket-sized compact camera, packed with Wi-Fi and a 3 inch touch screen.

Built-in Wi-Fi, Full manual controls and RAW shooting, Pocket-sized with DSLR style features, Image quality is excellent, Fast f/2.0 lens, 10 fps continuous shooting at full resolution, Lots of creative modes, Video quality is good

No grip on the front of the camera, No built-in GPS, Battery life CIPA rating is poor, Is a little on the expensive side

Canon PowerShot S110 review

Canon's PowerShot S series has previously consisted of compact cameras for enthusiasts, but the PowerShot S110 is less so, despite its fast-ish lens, support for raw format, and manual exposure controls. Canon made a few changes in its replacement for...

The Canon PowerShot S110 has better autofocus than its predecessor while maintaining good-to-excellent photo quality.

A not-very-impressive implementation of the new wireless connectivity features and still-sluggish image processing weigh down the camera.

Nice photo quality, improved autofocus performance, and a very compact design make the Canon PowerShot S110 a solid option if you're looking for something between a point-and-shoot and an enthusiast compact. But if you can find them cheaper, the S100...
