Canon PowerShot SX110 IS

Overall ImpressionsConnectivity
Software (8.00)
The included Canon software does a relatively good job handling relatively basic image tasks, both in terms of image browsing and simple editing. You can tweak sharpness, brightness, red-eye, and other standard features. However, in doing so, it had a tendency to work slowly handling relatively basic tasks, and just generally felt bloated. There's also a bundled photo stitcher, and a remote control application for the camera, the latter of which is decidedly unusual. This remote application lets you hook up your camera via USB to your computer, and see on your screen what the camera sees, as well as remotely take photographs. It's very good for if you have a very sensitive setup, where you don't want to risk nudging the camera.
Jacks, ports, plugs (3.00)
On the right side of the camera are two ports, reasonably well protected by a cover. These are the plugs for the AV/USB cable, and the DC in plug. The former looks to be an industry standard, which means it's easy to find a spare or replace a lost cable. The DC input connects to an optional plug-in power adapter you can purchase if you find yourself burning through AAs too quickly.
The Canon SX110 IS handles both major direct print options: DPOF (direct print order forms) and PictBridge. DPOF lets you tag your photos with the number of prints you want, whether you want the date and time printed on them, and whether you want a contact sheet, then hand your memory card to a print professional to follow your digital instructions. PictBridge lets you connect your camera directly to a printer via USB and output your images without using a computer.
Battery (4.00)
The PowerShot uses AA batteries, available at every corner store and market from here to Siam Reap. It does relatively well on them; we're onto our third set of batteries after about a week of heavy testing. On the left side of the camera is a small port, which is best left alone. This is actually the entrance way to the internal battery, which keeps track of dates, times and other such useful settings. It's quite easy to get at, if you need to replace the battery, but also easy to open accidentally.
This camera accepts SD, SDHC and MMC cards, which are the de facto standard for point-and-shoot cameras. They offer large capacity at a low price, and can be found easily.
The SX110 IS takes batteries and memory cards that are both easy to find
