Why This Camera
Simple. Value for money. With the dual lens kit, this is an incredible amount of camera for the money.
I had wanted a DSLR for a long time, well long is relative term in consumer electronics, so let us just say that I've wanted one since they've been viable. When they... Read full review »

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

So the smaller mega-zoom cameras, such as Canon SX110 IS fill the niche between larger mega-zoom cameras with over 15x... Read full review »
