Canon PowerShot S110 review

When Canon initial showed U.S.A. the PowerShot S100, we have a tendency to were more than happy to visualize a skinny rubber strip on its front to relinquish it somewhat further purchase. thus after we saw that this can be missing from the Canon PowerShot S110 that replaces the S100, we have a tendency to were a little thwarted.

To be truthful although, the Canon S110 may be a Very light, compact camera, and holding it in one hand is not precisely troublesome. however its sleek surface may be a very little on the slippery facet.

Inside the Canon S110 is that the same twelve.1 million pel detector and Digic five processor as in is within the larger Canon G15, proclaimed aboard it at Photokina 2012. we've got however to totally check either camera, however happening past expertise with the Canon G12 and Canon S100, the results ought to be pretty good.

Although it's smaller than the Canon G15, the Canon S110 includes a number of options that we might have likeable to own seen within the larger camera - particularly Wi-Fi and GPS via mobile technology.

The first allows you to transfer and share pictures via the net while not the requirement to tether the camera to a laptop, whereas the latter allows the camera to use a smartphone GPS system to tag pictures with their shooting location.

Neither of those is strictly essential, however they're helpful, fun additions that we have a tendency to hold granted with smartphones.

We additionally just like the incontrovertible fact that the Canon S110 includes a electrical phenomenon 3-inch 460,000-dot touchscreen that may be used for creating settings alternatives or, once victimisation the bit shutter choice, to pick the main target purpose, focus the lens and fireplace the shutter.

It appeared pretty responsive and effective after we used it for a brief whereas among the Photokina 2012 fair stands.

As on the Canon S100, the ring round the Canon S110's lens will be used for dynamical key settings.

A button on the rear of the camera provides access to the 9 choices, together with aspects like exposure mode, exposure compensation, white balance and sensitivity, then rotating the ring changes the settings. it is a terribly fast and simple approach.

The Canon PowerShot S110 HS includes a full value of £429.99 within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and $449.99 within the U.S.A., and can be offered from late Oct, swing it up against its relation the Canon SX50 HS and rivals together with the Nikon P7700 and Panasonic LX7.

In several respects the Canon S110 may be a comparatively minor upgrade of the Canon S100, with the addition of a touchscreen, Wi-Fi property and GPS technology.

As before, pictures will be recorded in raw format and a mode dial allows you to decide on between easy scene modes and therefore the a lot of advanced program, shutter priority, aperture priority and manual mode.

The loss of the rubber strip on the front of the camera may be a shame, however the Canon S110 may be a terribly enticing, pocket-size camera for enthusiast photographers, and that we anticipate a heated dialogue regarding WHO tests the ultimate production sample once it comes into the workplace for our full review.
