Product Rating: 4 star(s) Great if you need a good, compact wide angle

Comments:
I use this for business. It is compact enough to put in your pocket, but big enough to be able to hold it and not feel like a toy. Some buttons are small, but overall, very easy to use. I need a wide angle, which is becoming rare, except for the big, SLR

QuickTake:

Pros: Wide angle lens, easy menus
Cons: low light difficult to focus

I finally switched from a film camera to the 800 IS. It takes great pictures and I print them up myself on an Epson Picture Mate and get beautiful, sharp pictures. It's easy to crop them and I love the image stabilizer. I am not much of a photographer

QuickTake:

Pros: IS, easy to use, like having a viewfinder. Big screen.
Cons: Battery gives you only a one-picture warning.

I first purchased the Canon SD900. It was a good camera, but needs image stabilization. If you are taking still shots in fair to good lighting it is a good camera. Well, with 4 kids (three of them 2 year old triplets), life does not stand still for a pic

Comments:
The SD800 IS (IXUS 850 IS), announced just before Photokina 2006 back in September, is a sister model to the popular SD 700 IS (IXUS 800 IS), one of the better ultra compact models launched last year. As well as an extra million pixels or so, the new mode

Canon PowerShot SD800 IS Digital ELPH

Comments:
The Canon PowerShot SD800 IS Digital ELPH ($399) is an upgrade to the popular SD700 IS, which was only seven months old when it was replaced. While the SD900 is the flagship of the ELPH lineup, the SD800 is arguably more interesting than that camera, whic

Review Verdict: Canon bundles a 16MB memory card with the SD800, which holds just four photos at the highest quality setting. That means that you'll need to get your hands on a larger memory card right away. The SD800 can use Secure Digital (SD) and MultiMedia (MMC) card
