The Canon PowerShot SD800 IS/IXUS 850 Digital Camera

byHoward_Creech Jan 21, 2007
99 Helpfuls 100 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Ultra-compact, 7 megapixels, fast, stylish, user friendly, 2.5" LCD screen, and...
Cons Expensive, auto exposure only, red-eye, and very noisy ISO 1600 images
Recommended it? Yes

Way back in the dark ages, when photography was all about silver based film and chemical processing, camera choices were much simpler. Photographers who wanted an ultra-compact camera bought a Riga Minox or a Rollei 35S or they joined the CIA. The digital imaging revolution changed all that. Canon... Read full review »

SD800 IS: A digital elph w/ a power shot.

bytheuerkorn Nov 13, 2006
51 Helpfuls 52 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Size, DIG!C III processor, daylight picture quality, battery life, simplicity, stitching...
Cons Night time / indoors performance (noise & focus time), no advanced controls, limited DOF
Recommended it? Yes

With the current popularity of SLR cameras, why even bother to consider a point-n-shoot camera like the ultra compact Powershot SD800 IS? Well, I have not used a point-n-shoot camera (on a regular basis) for years and always considered my SLR superior simply because of the limitations of the tiny... Read full review »

30D vs. 20D? Are the differences worth another purchase?

bysuemccartin Jul 1, 2007
15 Helpfuls 16 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Canon Digic II sensor, 5 fps mode, iso 3200, improved white logic
Cons Pricey? Not a huge upgrade over a 20D
Recommended it? Yes

My first canon dslr was the original Rebel also known as the 300D, for its time and considering what that camera cost, it was competent but it can't hold a candle to a 20D and even less so to a 30D. I shoot a lot of karate for my school, the 300D Rebel only has 3 fps which just isn't enough for... Read full review »

Impressions on the CANON EOS 30D : finally mature, but still expensive

byketelbinkus Mar 12, 2006
17 Helpfuls 18 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Many features and very low noise, APS-sized CMOS gives best result with reasonable priced...
Cons viewfinder a bit dark, 8 million pixels and APS-sized cmos is insufficient for...
Recommended it? Yes

Having used a 300D and a 10D, i hesitated a lot before getting hands on this camera.
I got it with a Canon f4.0-f5.6/17-85 EF-S IS zoom, found it in Sim Lim square in Singapore.
Improvements are not so important: the good things of the 20D are still there: very good image quality with its... Read full review »
