## Description

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.

Review: This is a wonderful camera! - I had two major requirements when I bought this camera - 1. A 28mm focal length on the wide angle side 2. It had fit easily into my pocket This camera fits both requirements well. The 28mm requirement is the result of many years of taking pictures of family, friends, scenery - having that extra angle of view compared with the 35mm or 38mm more generally offered opens up many possibilities. If you haven't experienced the difference, give it a try before you buy. Another feature of a camera I discovered, when lugging a 35mm reflex with a big zoom lens on it (the proverbial potato masher) was that it didn't matter how good the camera was if it was at home when I wanted to take the picture. Thus the pocket-size requirement. I have taken thousands of pictures over the years, moved from film to digital, and now see the cameras getting smaller and smaller - and doing more and more. Happily, it all comes together in this package. It takes wonderful pictures - Canon seems to have figured out the software as well as anyone - and it's easy to use. Not lots of settings and adjustments, but I've had cameras with them available and never used them. The anti-shake feature is a miracle. You can use any focal length in almost any light where the camera will work without flash, and not worry about the shakes. One general comment - in the Auto mode, the camera will increase the ISO setting as the light falls, trying not to turn to flash. But at ISO settings much above 100, the resulting pictures are noticeably grainy, and at 800 and 1600, they are pretty ugly. I shoot in Manual mode, just to keep the ISO constant, set at 100. And the flash is really quite good for a little guy like this. In the rare case where a higher ISO is a better solution, you can set it at other values, up to 1600, and fire away - and accept the consequences. Sometimes a grainy picture is better than no picture at all. I got a neat little case at Staples, made by Case Logic, which fits the camera snugly, and offers some foam protection. It has been dropped numerous times in the case, and it just happily bounces and comes back for more. The camera spends a lot of time in my pocket, and having it handy enables taking lots more pictures, in fun circumstances. When people don't expect you to have a camera, you can catch them out better than when you have to do "Hey, hold that until I go get my camera", or "Dang, I wish I had brought my camera". For comparison, Panasonic has just brought out this camera Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ3S 7.2MP Digital Camera with 10x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Silver) which also has a 28m wide angle. The 10x zoom goes well beyond the 4x on the Canon, but the Panasonic is enough larger to make it a bit less of a pocket-fitter. The longer telephoto is attractive, though, and it has the required anti-shake. For cameras of this pixel count, it's interesting to note that you can put almost 1500 pictures on a single 2GB SD card. On a trip? That's 100 pictures a day for two weeks - not bad. And the cards aren't expensive. So, for my requirements, this camera is near ideal, and I'm very happy with it. No real gripes at all.
Review: Canon SD800 - compared to our A610 - After returning our Canon a610 to futureshop for repairs on the lcd (it went green) and finding out that it would not be back in time for the holidays (a long story, i'll say), we decided to pick up a new canon to take with us. Being very happy with the performance and quality of the 610, as a camera and the pictures it took, we decided to go with another Canon. Looking at a few models, the sd800 looked like a good option, with a 7mp resolution vs. our 610's 6mp, IS, which came in very handy during the holidays (we took 1600 pictures in about 16 days), and a familiar user interface we were well used to. Initial use of the camera was great. My wife was VERY happy with the form factor, being able to drop it right into a pocket, vs. the 610 being about double the size, considering all the dimenions. Then about 5 days into our trip, as we were heading towards the active lava fields in hawaii for a hike out to the lava, and our camera died! Battery dead! Ugh! It was fairly late in the day, so we decided to head back to our cottage, recharge, and head back to the lava flows the next day. What had happened, was I had charged the camera the night before, then decided to transfer the pictures over to my laptop, and forgot to turn the camera off overnight, draining some of the power. In any event, after that, we looked in the manual to see what the average lifespan/picture capacity was on a single charge. The manual said around 300 pictures w/ lcd, and 600 or so w/o. The battery pack being around 1100mah, I realized the difference. We normally use 4 AA 2300 mah energizer/dynacharge rechargables in our 610, which last -forever- and easily can take over a thousand pictures (i've never sat and tried to take that many), the sd800 has only 1/8th the battery capacity. Overall, I would highly recommend the camera, as a great quick point&shoot, small compact you can toss in your pocket, purse, backpack, etc. If you decide to buy it, I highly recommend that you get a second battery pack for it. They swap in and out very easy, and will save alot of grief when you're vacationing somewhere and run out of battery power. The recharge time on the batteries is great too, around an hour or 2 to completely recharge. dwight s. ps: Just a quick note I forgot to mention in my review. After taking numerous pictures, I printed 62 5x7s, 10 8x10s and 3 11x14's from pictures taken with this camera, using walmart's online photo service (they are across teh road from my office). It was the first time I had really printed large size digital pictures and I must say, i was -thoroughly- impressed with the quality of the shots printed at 11x14 and gave them to my wife for christmas. She was quite surprised and very happy to see the shots printed and framed. We've got the two canon's now, the sd800 and an a610, and i would say we've completely switched to digital photography from 35mm film. I would suspect our next camera will be a canon digital slr - a friend of mine has one which i've used a few times, and I really like it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hits the sweet spot - performance, size, features and price
*by J***N on September 10, 2007*

I got this camera after much research. The main features that attracted me: + 28mm wide-angle zoom. Most compacts start at 35mm, which can make it hard to take pictures of groups of people without moving way back. The 28mm is wide enough to capture a wide shot, even in a small room. + Optical image stabilization. I prefer to take shots with natural light whenever possible. Without image stabilization and with flash disabled, any shutter speed below 1/25s or so gets you a blurry image, unless you use a tripod. With this camera, I'm getting good shots down to 1/10, even 1/8 second (if the subject doesn't move too much). That means I can disable the flash almost anytime, to capture, say, the ambience of a rainy day on the back porch. And as a bonus, the image stabilizer works full-time when using the... + high-quality, low-compression, 30fps, 640x480 video recorder. Video on compact digital cameras is usually a novelty. But I found myself using the video recorder on my old Canon Powershot S50 more often than my bulky 8mm camcorder because I had the Canon with me, and the camcorder was back in the car. The video was poor quality, but it was better than nothing. Now, with the SD800IS, I can have my cake and eat it too. The video is as good as my digital 8mm Sony (640x480, 30 frames per second, low compression, few noticeable digital artifacts). Usually video on a compact camera is shaky, looking more like a cell-phone video than anything semi-professional, but here the optical image stabilization helps tremendously. I can pan as smoothly with the SD800IS as I can with a more bulky camcorder. And since large capacity SD cards can be had on the cheap, recording capacity is no handicap. I purchased a 4GB card for $50, which gives me 30+ minutes of video recording. 16GB can be had, and bigger ones are coming. That's 2 hours of high-quality video on a camera that will fit in your pocket - which means you'll actually have it with you when something video-worthy happens. The only downside: you can't zoom while you're recording video. You have to set your zoom beforehand. When you start recording, the camera sets focus and white-balance based on the first frame, then uses that for the duration of the shot.
