Overview

The Canon PowerShot S110 is a premium compact camera built around a 12.1-megapixel CMOS sensor paired with a 5x optical zoom lens that starts at a useful 24mm wide angle and opens to a bright f/2.0 maximum aperture. That wide aperture is the S110's standout feature, pulling in significantly more light than the f/3.5 or f/4.0 lenses found on most compacts, which translates to better low-light photos, faster shutter speeds, and more natural background blur. The camera records 1080p Full HD video with a dedicated movie button and supports 12-bit RAW capture alongside JPEG, giving photographers who want to edit their images considerably more data to work with.

Built-in Wi-Fi was a forward-thinking addition, allowing direct wireless transfer to iOS and Android devices, computers, and social networking sites. The 3-inch capacitive touchscreen — similar in responsiveness to a smartphone display — supports touch-to-focus, touch shutter release, and swipe-based image browsing. A high-speed autofocus system and burst mode capable of up to 10 frames in High Quality mode make the S110 responsive enough for candid and action moments. The camera runs on Canon's NB-5L lithium-ion battery, which is compact but limited in capacity at 1120mAh.
