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 PowerShot G10 is the seventh generation of Canon's lovely G-series PowerShot cameras, and is a great choice for any user wanting superior control in a point and shoot that stands out as much for its styling as for its images. The G10 has dials which change the exposure mode, exposure compensation, and ISO setting, as well as a Canon 'quick control' dial on the rear which mimics the familial control of the EOS SLR cameras.

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 »

CANON PowerShot G10: small powerhouse

bytheuerkorn May 15, 2009
38 Helpfuls 39 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Resolution, solid build, wide angle lens, processing speed, RAW files, Ev and ISO dial,...
Cons Noise, chromatic abberation (corners), typical P&S limitations, expensive
Recommended it? Yes

My arsenal recently found a semi-professional addition in the Canon EOS 5D Mark II and while that's currently my workhorse and warranty for high quality pictures, there are situations when the size of that camera is simply limiting or inconvenient. Until now the SD800 filled in and allowed photos... Read full review »

G10 a compact alternative to a DSLR

bylawman67 Jun 24, 2009
35 Helpfuls 36 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Beautiful retro style and build, extremely high resolution, terrific performance and speed
Cons Noisy images at moderately high ISO, complex interface, heavy, expensive
Recommended it? Yes

It has been a few years since I last went shopping for a digital camera, and while I was still happy with my Canon PowerShot S50, I was starting to feel limited by its lack of external flash capability.  I was still using my old Nikon film gear for serious photography, so there was no urgency here,...
