Thanks for posting, interesting compilation. PowerShot users interested can see the DPR Canon Compact Timeline HERE.

AFAIK, (i.e., HERE) the "SD" moniker started with the SD100 as it was the first Canon camera to use the SD Media Card; the "SD" in camera names limited to the USA cameras. Similar to the PowerShot "A" series for cameras using the "AA" batteries.

The S110 still my "go-to" camera when I want to travel light-as-possible. Can be comfortably carried in normal shirt pocket, and has a very good 24-120mm equiv. focal range.

Dreading the day the S110 dies as there's really no true replacement as to size, weight, and 24-120mm zoom range.

The S110's f/2.0 at 24mm comes in handy for lower-light indoor shots.

May also want to look for a G9 (DPR Review HERE) that's in good condition. Basically the same camera, G9 has the newer 1/1.7 12 MP sensor and retained RAW that was omitted with the G7 release.

Cheers,
Jon
