A sister model to the 110ED and marketed at the same time, the 110E targeted the mass market. It differed from the 110ED in three ways: 26mm f/2.7 lens with 4 elements in 4 groups, zone focusing, and no date function. Otherwise, the camera was the same as the 110ED.

Although the film emulsion was new to improve image quality, the picture size was so small that the image quality of enlargements was not good. A model for the new ISO 400 film was developed. However, Canon later withdrew from the Pocket Instamatic market.
