It's understandable, but disappointing nonetheless because a camera like this is faster and takes better photos and full HD video.

We share photos mostly by email and on sites like Facebook using around 1 megapixel, and you can print a good 4x6 photo with around 1.5 megapixels.

At 8 megapixels the 110 HS performs remarkably well.

If images with lower noise are desired, there are other camera models around this price range and size that should be considered and, of course, there are more expensive cameras with bigger sensors that will provide images with lower noise.
PowerShot ELPH 110 HS by M.-Kato--MK (Jun, 2012)
Grainy starting at moderate ISO - I understand the sensor size is small, but as I wrote before A570 IS was not that grainy - And ideally this should be better because this has a CMOS sensor.

I think the wide angle lens is nice.

The best part about this product is its 24mm wide angle.

The 110 HS has a fairly large assortment of shooting options, but almost all of them are automatic modes, meaning there's no full control over shutter speed and aperture.
PowerShot ELPH 110 HS by c|net (Mar, 2012)
I chose the Elph 110 HS because it had the widest aperture of all the offerings (f2.7) & was the most pocketable.

The quality of the pictures are superb, and the 5x optical zoom is great for getting clear shots of subjects that are further away.

I am pleased with the pictures this little camera takes and, because of its size, is easy to take wherever you go.

Thanks to being fashioned from aluminum, the IXUS 125 HS’ body feels solid yet lightweight with it when held in the palm.

Pros: small and lightweight... carried in my pocket for 2 weeks, takes amazing photos and quick too, decent zoom, around 3 days battery life with usage everyday, auto setting is pretty good.

The Elph 100 HS is slightly cheaper than the Elph 110 HS and has 12.1 MP and DIGIC4, slower shutter speed at 1/1,500, and about half as many dots on the LCD screen; however, its continuous shooting mode is 3.4 fps versus the 110 HS's 2 fps and in high-speed burst mode the Elph 100 HS is 8.2 fps versus 5.8 fps.

The Canon IXUS 125 HS's maximum shutter speed is 15 seconds in the Long Shutter mode, which is good news if you're seriously interested in night photography.

Its photos are best suited for Web use and prints up to 8x10, though under the right conditions prints as large as 13x19 are possible.

very easy to use, not the best option if you like to configure everything in a very granular way, auto mode is nice and setup for specific environments is ideal, perfect size and shape.
Rated 100% by by Chris-Martell (Jul, 2012)
Its lens is sharp, but Canon's decision to cram 16 megapixels onto a tiny sensor results in noisy images at higher ISO settings.
Rated 60% by by M.-Kato--MK (Jun, 2012)
This camera is small, extremely easy to use, and takes superb pictures for a unit this size.

Video

Ability to shoot HD movies is a nice plus.
Canon PowerShot ELPH 110 HS | Rated 100% by by RSL1
It takes blu ray quality video and very rich pictures - in manual mode as you adjust your rings (I have mine set for ISO and aperture) you can make the photo look exactly the way you want to before even snapping the shutter.
Canon PowerShot ELPH 110 HS | Rated 100% by by R.-McCuistian (Oct, 2012)
It is quite large for my taste, and I don't want to lower the resolution because I paid for the 1080p full HD recording.

Lens

If you are looking for a thin, light, and not too expensive [UPDATE - especially at the $169.99 price as of Aug. 5, 2012; on Nov. 29, 2012, the prices on Amazon.com range from $129 to $179 depending on the color of the camera] everyday carry camera with reasonable sharpness, with a lens with the 24mm angle of view at the wide end of the zoom, and in the color black, the ELPH 110 HS may suit your needs.
Canon PowerShot ELPH 110 HS | Rated 60% by by M.-Kato--MK (Jun, 2012)
When I saw an optical zoom camera that actually fits in a shirt pocket on display at a local store, I came home and looked on Amazon.
Canon PowerShot ELPH 110 HS | Rated 60% by by trlamb (Mar, 2013)
The video indoor recording is great when you're zoomed out, but zooming it the exposure is having difficulty lighting up subjects so you go from bright to dim as you zoom up close.

Image quality

me, image quality is the main factor I consider when shopping for a camera in my price range.
Canon PowerShot ELPH 110 HS | Rated 80% by by Michael-L.-Burwell (Aug, 2012)
It does have fewer megapixels and its lens doesn't provide the extra-wide 24mm field of view of the 110 HS, but when you consider the noise reduction that the 110 HS requires to shoot images at ISO 800 and above, you really aren't losing much in terms of image quality when shooting in anything but bright light.
Canon PowerShot ELPH 110 HS | Rated 60% by by M.-Kato--MK (Jun, 2012)

Battery

I recharged the battery again for a very long time because I thought it just needed a fully recharged battery.
Canon PowerShot ELPH 110 HS | Rated 60% by by JPX925 (Dec, 2012)
Not much of a warning when the battery is low so always have the extra battery on hand and charged.
Canon PowerShot ELPH 110 HS | Rated 100% by by Connie-Chapman (Dec, 2012)
Love the camera, but hate the fact you can't use normal batteries, had to purchase extra battery pack so you can have a back up(more money) so that doesn't make it very convienient to use on the go like camping where you have no place to set up a charger.
Canon PowerShot ELPH 110 HS | Rated 60% by by S.-Farley--annabels-gmom (Mar, 2013)

Sensor

Sharpness is very good at ISO 100, pretty good at ISO 200.
Canon PowerShot ELPH 110 HS | Rated 80% by by Dave (Apr, 2012)
At ISO 800 it's bad, and at ISO 1600 it's pretty terrible-any semblance of texture is gone from your photo by that point.
Canon PowerShot ELPH 110 HS | Rated 60% by by M.-Kato--MK (Jun, 2012)
Its high-ISO photos are OK, certainly better than you'd get from even a really good smartphone camera, but they're very soft, and ISO 3200 is pretty much unusable.
