GREAT Point & Shoot:
When we were ready to spend the money on a new digital camera, I looked at everything, but I kept coming back to the Canon PowerShot series. I think they are by far the best point and shoot cameras for the money. Our first digital camera was mostly plastic, and in shopping around, I found that many cameras were the same. In contrast, the SD800 feels solid and well-built. After a year of use and almost 2000 photos, it is no worse for the wear, except for some scratches.

OVERALL EXCELLENT--BUT I STILL HAVE TROUBLE WITH BLURRY IMAGES:
EXCELLENT CAMERA BUT I STILL GET MOTION BLURS WHILE SET ON 800 AND NO FLASH. IT SEEMS THAT OUR GRANDSON KEEPS MOVING AND I WAS HOPING THAT IT WOULD CAPTURE BETTER.

Canon SD800 IS 7.1MP Elph:
Great little camera! Beautiful pictures and Awesome VIDEO's. I do all my grand children's videos with this camera. I highly recommend this camera IF you can still find it. If not, use the Canon SD1100 IS Elph., this is a newer version of the SD800 IS...enjoy!
Hard to beat, Really hard to beat:
I have been using this camera for over 18 months, and taken several thousands of pictures. I have a backpack full of DSLR equipment, tripod, prime lenses, and so on, but carry this little camera in a pocket so that I never miss a shot. Its handy to have, I pop it out of my pocket to record all my travels on a seconds notice. The size and weight fit fine in a front jeans pocket. Key features:
-FAST start up, power button to photo lag is short enough to catch anything, much better than some... more info
