Canon PowerShot SX110 IS (Black)

Pros: Takes great pictures

Cons: Poor battery life, No view finder

Summary: Bought this camera 2 years ago. It does take great pictures but if you're in the habit of carrying it around with you take a supply of batteries along with it.

You can't let it set idle for more than a week. The batteries will run down just sitting in the camera. Many a time I've grabbed the camera for an impromptu shot only to find the batteries dead. And....as a consequence by the time you reload fresh batteries you've missed the shot.

One other down side...No view finder. All you have is the digital display which works fine indoors or outside on cloudy days. The least bit of sunlight can make it near impossible to see the image. So if your interests include outdoor activities this is definitely not the camera for you.
