Canon PowerShot SX110 IS
Competitors

As well as being compared against other travel zooms, the Canon PowerShot SX110 IS is also often compared to super zooms, pro digicams, entry-level DSLRs, mirrorless and compacts. The Canon PowerShot SX110 IS's top rivals come from Canon (such as the PowerShot SX150 IS and the PowerShot SX120 IS) and Nikon (such as the D5100 and the Coolpix L120)

Generally, some of the advantages of the Canon SX110 IS compared to other travel zoom competitors include: it has a slightly wider aperture (f/2.8 vs f/3.4) and slightly closer macro focusing (1 cm vs 3 cm).

However, on average it has a much narrower wide angle lens (36 mm vs 28 mm), records lower quality movies (480p @ 30fps vs 1080p @ 24fps), doesn't record high-speed movies (none vs 240 fps), takes slightly lower resolution photos (9 MP vs 9.7 MP) and doesn't record movies in 24p.
