Cameras from Canon "PowerShot S" series has always been designed for users who demand outstanding image quality in a miniature edition and are willing to pay for it. So it is not the latest Powershot S110 is no exception. The main characteristics are unchanged compared to the predecessor PowerShot S100 - built 12 megapixels and 5 x optical zoom, and news the touch LCD and Wi-Fi connectivity.
The design is attractive, but the build quality has declined compared to the previous PowerShot S100. Plastic acts rougher and cheaper, and we lack a rubberized grip and thumb rest. At least he firmly concluded and all the keys have a comfortable feeling when pressed.
Given the small size (dictated by a relatively small number of external controls) using the simplest thing in the automatic mode. Most important settings accessible via the quick menu, but it should be enough to scroll to be set.
Praise the presence of two control wheels, one behind, and the other forwards around the lens. It is on this front is possible to set up the function of your choice, and our favorite is the possibility of the stepped zoom (24, 28, 35, 50, 85 and 120 mm). The menu is appealing and visually identical to those in other Canon PowerShot models.
The touch screen diagonal of 3.0-inch display has a solid (461,000 dots), but we've seen better, colors are a bit weak and washed out. LCD not tilt. Li-Ion battery provides approximately 200 pictures (CIPA Standard) which is in the range of our expectations of what is possible from such a small battery. Available HDMI and USB connectors, and a built-in Wi-Fi connectivity. Storing photos and videos is done on a standard SD card. That has a GPS would be a pure ten.
The sensor of 12 megapixels is among the better models of its size (7 x 6 mm). Impresses us by the fact that at higher ISO values no overly smudged detail as is typical for a large number of compact camera, but retains sharpness. The lens has a 5 x optical zoom and optical stabilization. The aperture is excellent at the wide end (F / 2) but decreases the adverse f/5.9 at maximum zoom as a problem in low lighting. If nothing else, at least it's sharp enough. Photos are excellent as expected. Given the small size appliances and sensors really have nothing to complain about. The colors are neutral, noise is under good control, and when shooting in RAW format, it is possible to derive quality reminiscent of DSLR models from a decade ago.
Video recording is possible in today usual Full HD (1920x1080 pixels) movies at 24 frames per second (fps). During recording, you can of course use the zoom while recording videos are very fair, far better than any top model photo phones.
For several years, the Canon Powershot S series is synonymous with quality images with the least possible dimensions. Although today there are better options (I mean the Sony RX100), they are almost twice as expensive. Therefore, the Canon Powershot S110 is still on our list of the best ultra compact cameras. The photos are beautiful, the video is good and fits in your pocket - you will need more? :)
