Following up on the popularity of the S100, Canon has announced the upgraded PowerShot S110 to improve on the touchscreen quality as well as add Wi-Fi capabilities. Similar to the S100, the PowerShot S110 offers a 24mm wide-angle lens with 5x optical zoom as well as the DIGIC 5 image processor. The camera also utilizes the same 12.1-megapixel High-Sensitivity CMOS image sensor and records video in 1080p at 24fps as well as 720p at 30fps. The camera is also slightly more compact than the S100, but weighs the same.
However, the 3.0-inch LCD screen is now a capacitive touch panel and the pixel density has been upgraded from 260k pixels to 461k pixels. In addition, low-light image quality should be improved with with a maximum ISO speed of 12800 instead of 6400 in the S110. If you recall the Canon PowerShot S95, it also had a maximum ISO speed of 12800 and was extremely popular for low-light photography enthusiasts looking for a compact model to slip in a pocket. Canon has also expanded the number of scenes in the Smart Auto feature from 32 to 58.
The new Wi-Fi capabilities of the S110 allow users to send images and video directly to social networking sites like Facebook. In addition, the new Wi-Fi feature allows users to send media to Android or iOS smartphones, a PC or to other PowerShot cameras. Images can also be sent to a Wi-Fi enabled printer for quick printing of new photographs.
