Quick Take

Pros

Nice 24mm wide angle lens High-resolution 3-inch LCD (461,000 dots) High-sensitivity CMOS sensor Fast performance from the DIGIC 5 processor Smart Auto selects settings from 58 predefined situations Face ID focus and exposure priority Multi-area white balance Intelligent image stabilization chooses from six modes High light sensitivity (up to ISO 3200) Movie Digest combines video clips into a montage

Cons

5x optical zoom range can be limiting Noisy zoom can be heard during video playback Smooth Skin mode can look unattractive

Bottom Line

The Canon PowerShot ELPH 110 HS performs well for the price -- it's fast, boasts high image quality, and shoots full HD video. Attractive shooting modes and a high-resolution LCD make both shooting and browsing images enjoyable. If having a wide-angle lens is more important to you than a powerful zoom, this compact Canon is a highly attractive option, though battery life isn't the best. Read more in our Full Conclusion.

Canon's PowerShot ELPH 110 HS is one of two newly announced ELPH series cameras, along with the ELPH 520 HS. The 110 HS is $50 less expensive than the 520 HS, and boasts a larger 16.1-megapixel High-Sensitivity CMOS image sensor, more body color choices, and a wider 24mm lens. However, the 110 HS only has a 5x optical zoom (compared to the 520's 12x).
