Summary: Good little camera
Comment: Not much to add from other reviews. I read about it on Ken Rockwell's site, sounded great, bought it. Love the wider angle lense than other point and shoots. HOWEVER, I bought it for $300 in 2007, but I see it is currently listed at over $500. Don't buy it for that price. At $500, it should be made of gold.

Summary: My favorite compact digital
Comment: I'm partial to Canon compact digitals, but I prefer Nikons for digital SLRs. This camera is great. Image stabilization works well. There is minimal lag after pressing the shutter. This is the widest lens you can find in a compact Canon camera. Check out Ken Rockwell's reviews and guides on his site. It's better to read his stuff and see his examples instead of trying to read some boring manual.

Summary: Excellent pics, fast camera with a wide-angle lens!
Comment: The wide-angle was the most important factor which made me go for this model than other Canons. This is THE best camera I've used. I also have a Panasonic Lumix TZ3 which is also a wide-angle camera, but Canon wins in everyway. The pics are stunning, and because of this point-n-shoot, I bought a Canon DSLR (rather than a Nikon). The camera is also fast and the available user modes are sufficient under most conditions. I also like the macro images with this camera. I would recommend this product readily, or udated versions that will come in the future.

Summary: Absolutely LOVE this camera!
Comment: I've had this camera for a couple of years. Actually, I currently own the replacement I purchased after dropping the original into the water while kayaking!

Easy to use, takes awesome photos, the setting choices make it easy to get great shots in any situation. The wide-angle feature allowed me to get the ENTIRE cruise ship in one shot! It's small and easy to carry. I can't say enough good things about it.

I've found, with previous cameras, that it's difficult to see the image screen in bright sunlight. Having the view finder on this camera is a huge plus. You lose a small amout of size for the screen, but you gain the ability to line up photos in any kind of lighting, which is a major benefit.

I can't see EVER upgrading this camera. It is PERFECT!

Summary: Great little camera
Comment: I took my Canon sd800 in the waterproof case WP-DC9 thru the rapids in the Grand Canyon in May of last year. The camera worked flawlessly in spite of banging around in the rapids and camping 6 nights on sand bars. It is still working flawlessly! Jo

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 megapixel CCD to render images in magnificent detail and a DIGIC III Image Processor for stellar quality and fast operation. Yet what sets the SD800 IS Digital ELPH apart is its Wide-angle 3.8x optical zoom with Image Stabilizer technology for rock steady zooms. The Canon SD800 IS Digital ELPH, it's the Digital ELPH that's a step ahead. Wide-angle 28-105mm (35mm equivalent) 3.8x Optical Zoom with Optical Image Stabilizer Technology for steady, long zoom shooting DIGIC III Image Processor with Face Detection Technology for superior image quality, fast operation and low power consumption Large 2.5-inch LCD monitor with wide viewing angle for easier on-camera viewing Up to ISO 1600 to reduce image blur and expand low-light shooting capability Improved Movie Mode with Fast Frame Rate at 60 fps QVGA (320 x 240) or 30 fps VGA (640 x 480) Print/Share Button for easy direct printing and downloading, plus ID Photo Print and Movie Print with Canon CP and SELPHY Compact Photo Printers Capacity per fully charged battery - Still Image - approx. 270 shots (NB-5L/LCD on)* approx. 600 shots (NB-5L/LCD off) Dimensions (W x H x D) - 3.52 x 2.28 x 0.99 in. / 89.5 x 58.0 x 25.1mm; 5.29 ounces
