The 3-inch LCD (rated at 461K dots) is now touch capable, letting you select, pinch, and slide like you have been trained to do on your smartphones.
The autofocusing has also been improved to be faster with reduced lag times (issues that hindered older S-series cameras) and slightly faster burst mode (10 frames per second in the High-Speed Burst HQ mode).
The S110 uses a new 0.59-inch (diagonal) 12.1-megapixel “High-Sensitivity” CMOS sensor – the same sensor found in the larger PowerShot G15 – with a max ISO of 12,800 (versus the S100’s 6,400). Internally, the S110 shares many of the same specs as the S100, but there are enhancements. While it is easy to operate, there are more advanced components and features. The S110 has a noticeably more-solid construction than, say, Canon’s A-series, but it does have a bit of a heft – you’ll feel it pulling down your shirt’s front pocket, for example.ĭon’t confuse this compact cam with all point-and-shoots. Such is the case with the PowerShot S110: With an exterior design that hasn’t changed drastically since S90, the S110’s form factor is small enough to fit easily inside an empty pants pocket yet feels comfortable in the hands (one-hand operation is totally doable). Since the PowerShot S90, the S-series from Canon has become one of the better high-performance compact point-and-shoot cameras you can buy. The big feature here is integrated Wi-Fi for the wireless transfer and upload of photos, but are these features – plus the camera’s ability to take great photos – enough to justify the $450 price tag? Features and design The latest, the PowerShot S110, not only uses a new, better sensor that pushes the ISO up to 12,800, but it has a faster autofocusing system, too. The Canon PowerShot S-series has some of the most advanced compact cameras around.
