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.
ELPH 110 HS_group.pngCanon'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).

Beyond sensors and lenses, the two new ELPH cameras are similarly appointed, boasting the proprietary DIGIC 5 image processor, which translates into sharper pictures in low light scenarios (ISO up to 3200) as well as faster start up and auto focus timing. The DIGIC 5 also helps this camera's High-Speed Burst mode achieve 5 frames per second (at 4-megapixels).

Both ELPH cameras include a 3.0" LCD displays, full 1080p HD movie recording (thanks again, CMOS), and Advanced Smart AUTO functionality. The camera automatically adjust for up to 58 varied shooting scenarios and a 12-person (on screen) facial recognition.
