For a point and shoot, this camera is high quality! I can tell a huge difference between the results from my previous digital camera and this one. Pictures are clearer and the ISO makes a dramatic difference! The software that came with the camera is easy to use and manages my pictures appropriately. I take a lot of pictures, so it's nice to have them organized by date. Canon puts out some really great products, and I'm glad we chose to purchase the SD800. It's a great size and easy to travel with. It's also nice that it uses SD memory cards that are easy to find. My previous digital used memory cards that were sometimes not easy to find. It makes life easier!

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.
