Bad battery cover. I just bought Canon Powershot SX110IS 9MP Silver camera and ten minutes ago inserted the batteries. Now I cannot get the xz!@#$x battery cover to open again. I looked online to see if I was doing something wrong. Found other reviews with the same complaint and am considering returning my unused camera. Sob! So disappointed, since the camera seems to have gotten great reviews and I want to use it.
Point and Shoot With Extras. I'm basically a point and shoot guy, but I have enjoyed changing camera settings and dabbling a little bit in taking pictures of individual tropical fish in my aquarium, which is somewhat of a chore. Last year I bought a Sony H7 to replace my Canon A85. Though I could get good fish pictures after much reading and fiddling around, I was terribly disappointed and frustrated by the Sony's inability to take good indoor pictures using the automatic settings. I always had to go through the long process of editing the brightness and color of my pictures and even then was not always happy. I now have the Canon SX110 and am very happy with it. Here's my take on a comparison of Canon Powershot SX110IS 9MP Silver to my old camera.
Things I really like about my Canon SX110 compared to my Sony H7 and others . . .
1. Blur check feature on playback setting
2. The mode dial doesn't get accidentally turned as easy and mess up my pictures!!!!
3. The auto setting puts out better picture color in florescent light than the Sony did!!!
4. The auto setting chooses a lower ISO (200 vs 400) in low light giving less grainy pictures than the Sony!!
5. The view screen is bigger and has more pixels making Canon Powershot SX110IS 9MP Silver easier to tell if my printed results will be satisfactory!!
6. Image stabilization seems to work better than with the Sony
7. This camera is small enough to carry on my belt, in my coat pocket, or in my wife's purse
8. The cheaper price (counting a case, batteries, and cards, I spent $220 versus around $300
9. The lense cover is automatic instead of having to remember to take Canon Powershot SX110IS 9MP Silver off and put Canon Powershot SX110IS 9MP Silver on.
10. The manual settings are more easily navigated- e.g.the 2 click process to change ISO or face detection
11. Ability to erase a picture with two button pushes rather than three
12. The Program mode will hold it's settings even if you have changed the ISO, aperature, or shutter speed while in Manual mode (I missed good pictures because the Sony changed settings across the board)
The few things I don't like about my Canon SX110 compared to my Sony H7 and others . . .
1. The flash does not pop up automatically
2. The flash does not recharge as quickly
3. The zoom is shorter
4. There is no neck strap, but instead just a wrist strap
5. The memory card is inside the battery compartment so batteries can easily fall out while removing the card.
Concerning the flash, I just have to get in the habit of putting Canon Powershot SX110IS 9MP Silver up like I had to get in the habit of taking off the lens cap with the Sony. If I forget, the camera does tell me. Concerning the recharge time, I have to live with that, but you can take a non flash picture while waiting and there is some benefit to being able to use AA Alkalines in a pinch and cheap rechargeables the rest of the time. Concerning the zoom, I have yet to miss Canon Powershot SX110IS 9MP Silver and can always cut and crop. When I did zoom the full 15x on my Sony Canon Powershot SX110IS 9MP Silver seemed I always had color output and exposure problems anyway. Concerning the lack of a neck strap, a good camera bag will have one and you can add one to your camera too if you can find one like I had from a Sandisk flash drive. Concerning the battery compartment, I've found Canon Powershot SX110IS 9MP Silver easiest to hook the camera to the computer using the USB cord that I just leave attached to the computer, and that's a small price to pay for the ease of getting good picture output. On the same note, Canon Powershot SX110IS 9MP Silver would have been nice if the cord attached to the camera on the side opposite the grip of the camera.
A few other features some may dislike or miss with the Canon vs the Sony
1. The battery life is shorter
2. There is no viewfinder to use in bright light or to help conserve battery power
3. The flash is not as powerful
But none of the above bother me in the least. It's easy to carry extra Nimh AA batteries and I never used the viewfinder with my Sony to begin with nor on the other digital camera I had before it. As for the flash, even though I envision that I would use the extra power occasionally and did try Canon Powershot SX110IS 9MP Silver a few times with the Sony, that occasion is too rare to worry about. I was never happy with Sony's "green" and grainy output in such circumstances, so that makes Canon Powershot SX110IS 9MP Silver easier not to miss. Besides, Canon does sell an add on flash that one can use with this camera if he sees a need for it.
A few other features some may like about the Canon versus the Sony
1. On the fly red eye removal
2. The well chosen scene setting selections available with the twist of the dial and others easily accessible
3. The more popular and universal SD memory card versus Sony's propriety MS Pro Duo card
4. The easy setting that requires no camera know how except to pop up the flash, point, and shoot
That does Canon Powershot SX110IS 9MP Silver for a review from the perspective of a simple point and shoot guy. I hope Canon Powershot SX110IS 9MP Silver can help someone make the choice that will best meet their needs on the first try, instead of having to buy two cameras like I did. Happy shooting!
1st Cannon....WOW!. I'm a diligent shopper when Canon Powershot SX110IS 9MP Silver comes to some purchases. I've been researching buying a new digital camera off and on for about 6 months and I can say my patience has been rewarded. My two previous digital cameras were Sony's. The main reason for a new digicam was image stabilization. I've taken up kayaking and found many of my on water photos were coming out blurry, even in bright daylight.
Likes:
Macro is amazing with the SX110is. You can rest the cameras lens on a page and Canon Powershot SX110IS 9MP Silver will autofocus on the lettering. You can also manual focus in most modes. Great for catching minute details.
10x optical zoom! 40x digital zoom! Canon Powershot SX110IS 9MP Silver gets you up close when distance between you and your subject is required. Zoom up to 4x digitally while recording movie, although Canon Powershot SX110IS 9MP Silver does get grainy and you can hear the lever click on the recording.
This flash is so much better than either of my Sony's. The range is so much farther, and that's without any flash level adjustments.
The cost! A camera of this quality, with so many options at the $200 mark! Outstanding!
Dislikes:
It would be nice if the flash would automatically pop up when needed like the Sony does. Although I'll admit Canon Powershot SX110IS 9MP Silver made me jump while playing with one at Best Buy.
Too many options (13!) on the Mode Dial . My last Sony had 6 and the other options were software accessible. I'm just afraid all that turning is going to wear out the dial faster.
Also the control dial can be skittish while reviewing photos. It's too easy to press (select) while spinning (scrolling).
This is the second SX110is I purchased from Amazon. I think the first one was a return because Canon Powershot SX110IS 9MP Silver was missing the documentation tray and the little tag that was hanging of my new one. I returned Canon Powershot SX110IS 9MP Silver because the usb/av cover wouldn't stay closed. No problem with the new one I'm happy to say.
Overall it's a great camera. My first Canon. I can't wait to get back on the water with it. I keep Canon Powershot SX110IS 9MP Silver in a dry bag until I use if you are wondering.
