Canon Powershot SX110IS 9MP Digital Camera with 10x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Black) Reviews

I've had this camera for several months now and it's been back for warranty repairs twice. First for the screen going dead, second for the lens retraction mechanism failing. Those were both fixed under warranty with little hassle aside from lost time. The frustrating thing about this camera is the unreliable file system that it uses. Multiple times the camera has taken it upon itself to completely erase the SD card when trying to take a picture or movie. Today it erased an entire day's worth of movies and photos (including my son's first bike ride) and only kept the last few movies recorded.
Also, unless the camera is set in completely manual mode it is too slow to auto-set while taking photos. It can take up to a couple seconds from button press to image capture.
The image quality is only so-so unless the photo is taken in bright light (outdoors in sunlight). Even normal indoor room lighting results in noisy images unless the flash is used.
 
This camera is absolutely the best camera I have ever owned and I have owned many. Only drawback is battery life but this camera is so versitle that it can be used by everyone from a novice to a professional. Love it, love it, love it.
 
I love my canon, however the zoom leave some to be desired. A fantastic point and shoot.
 
I have a professional Canon Camera (5D) and love it. I bought this camera to tote around in my purse when the other camera is too big. Many problems with this camera. First, it doesn't work with my Card Reader. I've NEVER had a problem with any camera I've used with it, but this camera "writes" the picture to the card differently, so it doesn't work. You have to use their software. The pictures are an odd size ( about a 6x8) so when you go to have them printed as a 4x6, the bottom is cut off along with the date stamp. The flash doesn't pop-up by itself... it's a manual process. This is not always a bad thing if you don't want the flash, but you may miss a few pictures when you forget to pop it up.

The f/stop is usually 2.8 for many settings whether it is for the "mountain setting" or the "portrait setting". If you don't know what this means, don't worry. In a nut shell, the focus area is too small and if someone is standing slightly behind someone else... they will be out of focus. Very crappy setting for snapshots. The shutter speed is usually too slow for indoors... translating to blurry pictures if someone is moving (when flash is not on). If the flash is on, it will "freeze" the motion but will be really bright.

The self timer doesn't work.

There's more, but I have to say, I'm really disappointed in this camera.
 
First when I bought this camera it was amazing. Amazing quality pictures, great zoom features, and so on. Then, something happened where my face finder stopped working. Then, after about a year I had this lens error. My friend has this same camera, the second time they used it it got the same lens error. Canon has no solution for this problem and I know a lot of people who are very rightly upset that this very expensive camera has a flaw that is not repairable. Be very careful when purchasing this product.
