Best Camera in every way, I've ever owned! And only cost $250.

This is a must have camera. This camera should be a part of every photographers collection, and if your in shop for your first camera, the Canon SX110 IS is the Ultimate choice, for any price. This camera defines what every camera should be powered by, NiMh Batteries(Nickel Metal Hydride) I bought the Energizer AA size 15 minute fast charger at wall-Mart for $30 dollars and a four packs of AA size batteries at $10 a set. you can shoot your heart out at apx 300-400 shots per charge. and the Energizer fast charging system allows the batteries to last a lifetime rather than just a few years. fast charging Nickel Metal Hydride gives less of a chemical reaction that allows that battery technology to trully las almost forever. that is why, if you read the warranty specifications on the back of the 15 minute fast charging system made by energizer, you'll see that they offer a limited lifetime warranty, limited only because you must not physically abuse or break the batteries. normal use is covered. basically, unlimited cycles(charges/discharges). compare this $20 for 8 AA rechargable batteries the cost of one lithium Ion or lithium pollymer battery and those cost you about $50 dollars to $90 dollars each and only have a life span of about one to to years max, than kaput, done, no good- recyle time. sure, I'm into recycling just as much as everyone else is, but I'de reather buy a battery that was garranteed to last a lifetime and I can buy almost anywhere from almost any ordinary store or market in America or the world for that matter.

Oh, you want to know more about the Camera, ok, so it uses double a Ordinary batteries. See Above for details.

Has an Awesome and very bright(brightness ajustable) Liquid Crystal Display. I read hundreds of good reviews, and tried to find a few bad reviews too(very hard to find) about this camera before i bought it. seemed the only bad reviews were people almost always unhappy with their own old ways of thinking and photographing. ie, do you really need to look threw a viewfinder to take a picture, h8ll no you don't. and why would you want to with a 10x zoom lens when the viewfinder cameras that zoom don't zoom the viewfinder to correlate with the LCD zoom. LCD is the wave of the future and when best has been acomplished, why settle for less? I dont use vuefinders, I use lcd and 3inches is kicken best available. if someone made a 4 or 5 inch viewfinder, you bet ide by one. Love everything about the camera, my last digital is an 8 year old olympus 5.1 megapixel and that was more than enough picture quality so yes, this 9 megapixel is plenty good. I bought the 16GB SanDisc (Speed/Quality reated 4. in a system that rates from 2, to 4 to 6) My camera book{yes I read it about eight times}recumends a minimum of 4 so I bought the 4). that rated the data transfer to 15 megabites per second. the memory 16GB card cost me just under one hundred dollars, I bought everything at best buy. some of the workers there have played bad attidute with me but I just report them to a manager and they allways take care of the problem and I always leave feeling good. as for spending just under one hundred dollars on memory, that gives my canon the abilty to shoot several hours of video or four thousand pictures at the highest leverl of quality 9 Mega Pixels and make a print bigger than 20 inches by 14 inches. when I used to shoot film and yes I used to use the ansel adams "Zone Sytem" that was a pain to learn too, I spent several hundred dollars a month on just buying and processing the film. now all that money gets saved and I only pay for the printing and with the extra money I save I buy a new computer every two years (I have both mac and Pc), and laptops and a new car every four or five years. Still looking for a Plug In Hybrid, Canon, please get into the manufacturing of plug in Hybrid Cars, thank you for reading. happy shooting. I love my Canon SX110 IS. IS stands for Image Stabalizer. I love it!
