Wow. Well done to Canon for this little gem. Much more refined than the s100.
The handling of noise is great for a small sensor. The lens may not be the quickest, but the increase of ISO to compensate for low light isn’t going to be a problem here. I still own a sx220hs, and even though it handles noise quite well (much better than my xz-1), the CA from the lens and the poor metering lets it down badly. This canon has coped superbly with the overcast white sky, nothing overblown or washed out. Crisp detail is shown with the brickwork and cloud cover. Again the leaf pic looks interesting because of the lack of CA.A much improved lens.
Thank you Mark for including the Brixton Costa pics. For me this has become a real reference point over the last couple of months. The s110 handles the low light, high ISO and importantly captures great shadow detail without smearing everything.
People, don’t be to disappointed with the raw pics. Remember, these are direct from the chip and haven’t been cleaned up and processed by the camera on board software, which has to really work hard with such a small sensor.
I’m really looking forward to giving this one ago. Its just a shame that the battery capacity lets it down a bit. Cheers for your review.

Sorry Canon, the RX100 is the new best in class. You waited around too long and made no real changes from the S90 to S95 and S100.

I can’t view sample images. I keep getting “403 forbidden” error.

Great review, Mark :) Canon PowerShot S110 is a very nice pocket camera. Some extra zoom would be nice though, it is quite expensive for just 5x optical. I think there are some more capable cameras for $350 out there.
Here is a quick unboxing video of the PowerShot S110

My colleagues and I bought 3 S100 cameras about 6 months ago. we were extremely satisfied with the image quality & the matchless convenience.
I used my camera really well travelling to Italy, Sicily, Dubai, Lebanon and other places. I shot about 3000 images and a few short movies.
However, the lens unit on my camera failed about a month ago for no reason at all. The same happened to one of my colleagues camera today even though she hardly used her camera.
Canon should pay more attention to the lens mechanism issue that caused many people to stop buying their products even though the image quality is really good. Reliability is a great issue!!!
I am so reluctant to advise anyone to buy the S110 if there is no assurance that the lens mechanism has been revamped.

Actually I am using since 20 years DSLR camera.When S100 came on the market I stopped using DSLR with its heavy gear.So we bought(my wife&I ) 2 S100 cameras 2 years ago.With an interval of 3 months the lens units are clamped without any reason during our last Patagonian and France journeys resp.—So no camera for the rest of our vacation (10 days)—-.We are told in my home town Istanbul by the authorised service,this can unfortunately happen by certain serial#‘s.The lens units are repaired without any payment.But since that time we don’t travel any more without a reserve camera.Photograph quality is excellent but we do no more trust to its lens mechanism.Now I will think twice before buying a new Canon Camera.
