Canon PowerShot SX110 IS – Affordable Super Zoom Camera

By Robert • Sept. 26, 2008

Canon PowerShot SX110 IS (black) Pre-Photokina, Canon introduced the 9MP PowerShot SX110 IS 10x zoom with face detection and optical image stabilization. The new camera replaces the popular PowerShot SX100 IS.

The PowerShot SX110 IS incorporates Canon’s Advanced Face Detection Technology that automatically sets focus, exposure, flash and white balance for portraits and group shots. The PowerShot SX110 IS uses a lens shift-type Image Stabilizer (IS) system to detect and correct slight camera shakes that can cause image blur. The Image Stabilizer technology help produces sharp close-ups when zooming at low shutter speeds.

The PowerShot SX110 IS uses Canon’s DIGIC III processor with iSAPS to deliver fast response times, excellent color reproduction, and low noise. iSAPS technology uses shooting scene data to optimize camera settings even before a shot is taken. The PowerShot SX110 IS records smooth VGA movie clips at 30fps. A special Long Play option uses about half the normal memory card space.
