well if the website says that a s110 lens and adapters are coming soon then shouldn't there also be one for the s300 as well? if you look under the crystal vue scope it says that the s300 is compatible with it with filters (or was that with adapters?).

Thanks for the links, but in the side by side I can't see any difference between S200 (S110 I assume) and S300 in terms of quality, CA
Both are miles better than the S100 !
In one of the interior shots, it seems the S300 has a wider angle ?

Yes, Keith,

Exactly. This is your own words:

"I (that's you) can't see any difference between S200 (S110 I assume) and S300 in terms of quality"

and s110 is cheaper; lighter; smaller; better macro mode.

So go for it.

Problem is I need a 3mp cam for my 4x6 prints.
Yes, there IS a difference.

Yep, I went for it a couple of weeks ago. Sold my S100 and got a S110. Better overall pics, I must admit.

Here's my first S110 gallery. Any feedback will be welcomed. Thanks:

and here is why you should be cautious with any of the 'new' cameras:
http://www.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1010&message=1195265

the latest crop of canon cameras accomplish this 'better' image quality by (1) blurring the detail in the image to eliminate noise, then re-sharpening the image to restore the lost detail. the end result is a fairly crisp image, but with lost fine detail. (2) using an rgb filter that closer matches the colour space of a computer monitor.

the problem with (1) is that the photo you take is even further removed from what the actual image is. admittedly the picture might be aesthetically more pleasing, but so might a painting of the scene. and you can't turn off this image processing!

what amazes me is that the s110/s300/a10/a20 pictures are very clearly processed - for instance, look at the 'halo' around the lettering in the resolution charts that phil askey photographed for the s110 etc reviews on this site. and yet no one comments on it. indeed, people comment on how unprocessed and clear the images are. but they are processed. what gives?

(perhaps you all work for canon

The only dissference between S110 and S300 is one has 2x zoom, and the other 3x zoom. The s300 IS NOT a 3mp camera.
