Product Description: Canon PowerShot SD800 IS Digital ELPH Digital Camera

This is the Digital ELPH that's raising the bar. There's everything you'd expect from a camera of this caliber: A 7.1 megapixels CCD to render images in magnificent detail and a DIGIC III Image Processor for stellar quality and fast operation.

    The Greatest Compact Camera

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  May 4, 2007 | 3 out of 3 found this Canon PowerShot SD800 IS Digital ELPH Digital Camera review helpful

    Pros: size, feel, LCD, image stabilization, various modes

    Cons: only 3.8 x optical zoom

    This has been the most incredible compact camera. I've taken fabulous underwater pics in the Caribbean (using special housing), even video of a sting ray, and great night shots of Shanghai harbour without flash and tripod. One I've enlarged to 11" by... 14" and the quality and detail are unbelieveable. I've had it for 3 months and am taking it along with my Nikon 70 with zoom to East Africa next week. The Casio EX850 I bought last year is junk next to this one. The learning curve was the easiest I've experienced in digital cameras. Read more Less

    Finally, decent wide angle in a sub compact!

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Dec 9, 2006 | 16 out of 16 found this Canon PowerShot SD800 IS Digital ELPH Digital Camera review helpful

    Pros: True 28mm wide angle, small size

    Cons: LCD screen supposedly fragile

    This is my 6th camera and second "SD" series from Canon. In a lot of ways, this is what I was looking for all along...a responsive compact with a wide enough angle to finally fit in the whole family in those holiday shots. There are VERY few compacts... that fit the bill in this regard, and I was starting to think it would never happen. If you find yourself backing up to fit everything into the picture, you need this camera. As far as build quality, speed, and software, Canon is consistently good. One surprise...the video quality is quite decent and good enough to burn to a DVD. It won't take the place of a camcorder, but it is quite good. I highly recommend this camera, and I think you'll find the wide angle much more useful than the high zoom numbers which many manufacturers are using to market cameras. Do you really want 12X zoom (which will look horrible short of an SLR), or do you want a usable compact that makes indoor and travel shots a breeze? Read more Less
