I love having a camera with a lot of optical zoom, because it means that you can take beautifully detailed pictures without actually being too close to the action. This is great for when you’re at a concert or visiting the zoo, for example, because it’s just not possible to get any closer to the subject of your photo. However, most ultrazoom cameras have the problem of not being quite as pocketable. That barrel can get a little bulky.

While it certainly isn’t as compact as some of the super-slim cameras out there, the Canon PowerShot SX110IS is much more friendly on your jacket pocket than similarly-equipped ultrazoom point-and-shoot digital cameras.

Available in your choice of silver or black, the Canon SX110IS features 10x optical zoom, 9.0 megapixel stills, optical image stabilization, advanced face detection technology, red-eye correction, a big 3.0-inch LCD screen, and easy connectivity to any compatible Canon SELPHY Compact Photo Printer.
