This camera takes fantastic, wonderful quality photos. It has tons of features and after using for a short time it is really pretty user friendly. I especially like the accent color feature. This is the first digital camera that I've owned that has audio with the video and it really does a good job. Macro pictures turn out well. The image stablizer is a nice feature and I chose this camera over the Canon 850 because of the wide angle feature. This model is slightly larger than some of the other ELPH cameras but still small enough to put in a purse or pocket.

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.
