value conscious, willing to pay for quality
I did quite a bit of research to track down a good camera for us - first time digital camera buyers. The 800IS combines the three features I was most focused on: —…

an early adopter, loving my digital camera, somewhat tech savvy, computer literate, budget conscious
I love taking pictures and I was out in the market looking for a digital camera. I have always heard that canons take great pictures and I did a lot of research. I always do a lot of research on things i buy. — — What I liked about the sd800 was that it has an image stabilizer. And to the tech savvy people out there it has a digi 4 processor. this is the fastest processor out in the market for the canon brand. In my opinion it is 2nd to sony's new processor. But the quality of the picture is by far better than the others i have tried out.…

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…

an amateur photographer, Every day computer user, loving my digital camera, Picky about pictures
Bought the camera from Buydig.com for $309 two years ago. The shipping was really fast it surprised me because I read some reviews about the seller and some people had problems with shipping. Mine came in 2 days time! Everything came in perfect condition. — — I'm an amateur photographer. This is my very first time owning a digital camera, so I just point and shoot. The camera produces great pictures. Especially when I take pictures of food. They all turn out great. The Image Stabilizer is useful for a clumsy person like me. — — The thing that I don't like about the…

into trying new things, appreciative of good service, avid reader, value conscious, Open-minded, cost-conscious, pc-user, a bargain hunter
I have always been a Sony user. Actually, my family has always relied upon Sony as being the leader in electronics and accessories. And because of this preconditioning, I've just always have had a Sony digital camera. Only recently, after breaking my T-33 did I contemplate and consider another brand. The design, quality and price of the Canon SD800IS were the main selling points for the camera. Though not as thin as my previous T-33, the 800IS was still conveniently sized for me to throw into my purse at the whim. It's ability to turn on quickly and take photos quickly was also a great…

loving my digital camera
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…

will pay for quality, looking for durability, nature lover, attached to my camera, loving my digital camera, impressed with this product, a person who enjoys quality
All I have to say is that it's the best camera that I own. It's conveniently sized for me to throw into my purse. Its ability to turn on quickly and take photos quickly was also great. The reason why I have this camera is to have with me all the time and it's so small that it fits in my purse and I'll always have it with me when ever I want to take a picture or something I like I take it out of my purse and then point and shoot. It's a lot easier to have a small camera to have when your in a hurry to get out of the house instead of a big one. —…

intermediate-user, Picky about pictures
This camera was recommended by a friend for its large viewing screen and stabilization feature. I purchased it as a gift for my parents (mom is the shutterbug) as their first digital camera. They were intimidated by the box. But once I got them to open it, they discovered the instructions were easy to follow. As an added bonus, they could begin to use the camera immediately using just a few of the features, learning about and incorporating more features as they go along. —…

This has really been the best camera I have ever owned. All I do is point and shoot and the results are always awesome. I am not really into technology I like the quick and easy things and this camera basically does all the magic on its own!!! My pictures turn out great time after time after time. And the memory on it is great I have been using it for awhile now and I still have lots of room for more to put on…

Reviews of Canon - PowerShot SD800 IS / IXUS 850 IS Digital Camera
| 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. |
