After getting my Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ5, I started having doubts if maybe Canon PowerShot S2 IS was the way to go. The only way to find out was to buy the Canon S2 IS and compare it with my Panasonic FZ5. So I purchased the Canon S2 IS and after using and comparing the two, I chose to keep the...

Canon PowerShot SX110 IS 9-Megapixl Digital Camera with 10x Optical Stabilized Zoom

bydkozin Jan 6, 2009
42 Helpfuls 43 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Low price for features (for a Canon), good performance, image stabilization, 10x zoom
Cons Chromatic aberration, slow flash recycle, slightly soft corners, no viewfinder
Recommended it? Yes
