The Canon PowerShot SD800 IS/IXUS 850 Digital Camera

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?

But regardless of this, digital cameras definitely provide ever increasing amounts of features and performance for the... Read full review »
