Canon SX110IS

The digital zoom is amazingly effective. Recently, I caught a game at Fenway Park. My seat was adjacent to the infamous "Green Monster". From that distance, I was able to take photos of players at bat, that captured detailed facial features. I was even able to get some very respectable images of players in action.

The camera settings are easy to use, and equally easy to access. The Auto setting is fairly idiot proof and does a good job under a wide variety of conditions. I found the SX110 to be solid, well built yet still small enough to fit into a laptop carrying bag.

I never imagined that I would buy anything other than a Nikon, but now I think this was one of the best purchases that I have made in a long time. It delivers on its promises, producing pictures whose quality rivals those of much more expensive digital cameras.

Got this camera to my wife for her art works. This camera has very nice features; high zoom, image stabilization, I was able to get very good images in almost darkness with max zoom and flash from 25'. The regular batteries are a real confidance for me, not to get stuck without batteries just when I need more power, I was going to by the Ricoh R8 which is a great product as well, but because it has a Li-ion custom battery, I have chosen to stick to normal, easy to get batteries, which can be also rechargable if I want. be sure to have on hand some extra batteries if you are going to places which might "make" you take many photos. Even with automatic settings, my wife gets beautiful photos, not to mention the manual settings which can give much more control on the result. I would like if the camera had rubber where the hand grips it like in the Ricoh R8, but this is a minor thing.
I would buy the same one for my self as well.
