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. Less
The EOS Rebel T2i has an 18.0-megapixel CMOS sensor that captures images with exceptional clarity and tonal range and offers more than enough resolution for big enlargements or crops.

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.

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 »

Pros Easy interface, beautiful renderings, fully customizable. 
Cons Could use more zoom, but different lenses can be purchased for distant shots.  
Recommended it? Yes

I recently purchased the Canon REBEL T2i / EOS for a family vacation to niagara falls.  I have never owned a professional camera beforehand so I figured it would be difficult to learn but it was really simple.  Beautiful pictures, ample shot settings, and quick changing to different style...

12 Helpfuls 13 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Many different shooting modes<br>Lovely contrast<br>Simple to master
Cons The camera cannot be set down without tipping forward, hard for self-timer.
Recommended it? Yes

I got this product as a gift and could not be happier with it.  I have been taking photography classes in school and became very interested in it, so I decided that I wanted a digital camera as well as a film camera.  I originally thought that it would never stand up to film, but so far...
