Generally, some of the advantages of the Nikon L110 compared to entry-level DSLR competitors include: it has a slightly larger screen (3.0" vs 2.7"), has better image stabilization (sensor shift vs none), is newer (february, 2010 vs august, 2008), is much smaller (standard size 109x74x78 mm vs professional size 130x100x78 mm) and is significantly lighter (406 g vs 598 g).
However, on average it takes slightly lower resolution photos (9.8 MP vs 12.2 MP), slightly lower maximum light sensitivity (1,600 ISO vs 6,400 ISO), doesn't record movies in 24p, doesn't shoot as fast continuously (1 fps vs 4.5 fps) and has a much smaller sensor (1/2.3" 6.2x4.6mm vs APS-C 23.1x15.4mm).
