Canon PowerShot S110 / Digital IXUS v / IXY Digital 200

Canon PowerShot S110 is equipped with a 2.11-megapixel CCD, capturing images with a high resolution of up to 1600 x 1200 pixels. A primary color on-chip filter, superior to a complementary color filter in terms of color reproduction, is used in PowerShot S110. New digital signal processing IC, developed by Canon, improves the resolution and luminance S/N ratio to achieve greater sensitivity while retaining the color reproduction benefits of a primary color filter. This IC features high performance and sophisticated functions in a compact package. It also consumes little power and greatly contributes to the downsizing of the camera. The shiny body exterior uses a special stainless-steel alloy with bright surface finish. All the functions of a digital camera, including a retractable, optical 2x zoom lens, a flash unit, and an LCD monitor, are compressed into the tiny body, with all areas made as small as possible to attain a compact body size, exactly the same as PowerShot S100 "Digital ELPH".PowerShot S110 includes a 2x optical zoom lens that covers from 35mm (wide angle) to 70mm (telephoto), in terms of 35mm film. The F2.8-4.0 aperture is amazing for such a compact, high-quality lens. PowerShot S110 uses a true digital zoom system that gradually reduces the CCD's reading area towards the center of the picture area up to a maximum magnification of 2.5x. As a result, a uniform zoom effect is obtained. Besides the shooting interval of approximately 1.7 seconds and shooting continuously at approximately 2.5 images per second with image quality set to Large/Fine, PowerShot S110 can record VGA sized (640 x 480 pixels) movies with sound at the exceptional rate of 20 frames per second due to the high performance of its new digital signal processing IC. PowerShot S110 has 9 image quality settings, and now you can change image quality settings even in the Auto shooting mode. Resolution and compression settings can be selected independently using the menu function of the LCD monitor. PowerShot S110 employs Artificial Intelligence Autofocus (AiAF) technology, which uses a broad metering field to calculate the focal distance with high precision. AiAF of this camera uses three different focus points, and selects from the three focus results the point that will assure the best focus on the target. It delivers a crisp focus even when the photographic subject is off-center. With a new digital signal processing IC and LCD consuming little power, and other technologies for power saving, PowerShot S110 consumes so little power that it can operate on a small Li-Ion battery. The camera has a multi-purpose AV/USB interface terminal that can be used to connect it to either a compatible TV or a personal computer by using the cables that are supplied as standard accessories.
