   Pros: great features, small size

   Cons: none

   I bought this camera 1 month ago and all I can say is WOW! It really takes great photos and has some awesome features that I had no idea were even available. For my work I need to have a wide angle lens to take pictures of commercial buildings and I had been using an olympus 2020 with a bunch of lens adapters and a huge wide angle lens. I had a big case that I had to lug around everywhere and then I had to buy an external flash because the huge lens blocked the internal flash, what a pain. Now I have this SD800 with a 2 gig card and I can take like 1000 pics on the highest setting! Wide angle is no problem and I can carry this thing in my shirt pocket!! I have my camera with me all the time now, it really changes how I do things. The display is huge, you can actually see and review what you shot. It has a sensor that knows if you are holding the camera in landscape or portrait, so if you hold the camera sideways to take a shot of something tall, when you go to look at the results on the screen, the camera automatically turns the photo so it is displayed normally on the screen. Who would have thought it would have that feature?
   It took a few days of playing with it to figure out the menus, but that's the same as anything new nowadays. I like it, my clients are happy, it's easy to use, seems pretty robust.
   I didnt buy a case for it because they werent in stock yet, but I found that my leather case for my blackberry fits this camera perfect and makes it super easy to pull out for a quick shot and still keep it protected. ...

   Pros: Higher MP than SD700

   Cons: Not as good as SD700

   Sorry to say - I really wanted to love this camera, but alas, it went back! I bought the SD700 a few months back and LOVE IT!!!! Of course this was after the SD550, Sony P200, and a multitude of other cams over the years. The SD700 has great pictures and video. So when the opportunity to "upgrade" to the SD800 came along, I could not wait. Well, the SD700 in my humble geek opinion is much better and now cheaper. The higher MP did nothing and the SD800 seemed "cheaper" more plastic than the 700. Also, there was a lot of �light shadow� in the video and while framing pics on the LCD, maybe it was not working properly, but I tried EVERY setting. By the way, I've had almost every point and shoot camera on the market (thank goodness for healthy return policies with Staples, Best Buy, Fries, and the like)! Only one person�s opinion! ...
