The Canon SD800 IS Digital Elph, it's the Digital Elph that's a step ahead.
PowerShot SD800 IS Digital Elph Highlights
7.1-megapixel Digital Elph with elegant stainless steel Perpetual Curve design The PowerShot SD800 IS features a high-resolution, 7.1-megapixel CCD to give you images of uncompromising texture and detail. With it, you'll capture what others miss - the delicate strands of a baby's hair, the intricate petals of a wild flower. Plus the camera is as beautiful to hold as the images it takes. The Perpetual Curve design has the look of fine sculpture. Yet it's practical, too. Its unique form is engineered for the shape of your hand.
3.8x optical zoom in action Wide-angle 28-105mm (35mm equivalent) 3.8x optical zoom with Optical Image Stabilizer technology Engineered with Canon's sophisticated wide-angle 3.8x zoom lens with integrated Image Stabilizer technology, the SD800 IS Digital Elph gives you the "shake-free" performance that makes your pictures sharp and clear. No matter how close you zoom in, the SD800 IS Digital Elph keeps everything stable. All you have to think about is your subject.
DIGIC III Image Processor with Face Detection technology The DIGIC III Image Processor is the latest advancement to Canon's proprietary DIGIC technology, delivering superior image quality, ultra-responsive performance and extended battery life. DIGIC III provides a speedier interface for the SD800 IS Digital Elph's SD memory card, as well as higher definition for its LCD monitor.
Face Detection makes it easy to snap the perfect picture DIGIC III also empowers new Face Detection AF/AE, which finds all the faces in the frame and sets the most suitable focus point, when the shutter button is depressed half-way. Exposure and flash are controlled to ensure proper illumination of both the faces and the overall scene, eliminating the common problem of darkened or overexposed faces.
iSAPS Technology is an entirely original scene-recognition technology developed for digital cameras by Canon. Using an internal database of thousands of different photos, iSAPS works with the fast DIGIC III Image Processor to improve focus speed and accuracy, as well as exposure and white balance.
Large 2.5-inch LCD monitor with wide viewing angle The SD800's 2.5-inch LCD monitor gives you the big picture, whether you're shooting, reviewing or showing off your images. This high-resolution screen offers a crisp, clear picture and wider viewing angle to make shooting, playback and using the camera's menu functions especially convenient. The clear and bright LCD also features Night Display mode for easy viewing in low light.
ISO 1600 to reduce image blur and expand low-light shooting capability The PowerShot SD800 IS Digital Elph features new ISO 1600 and High ISO Auto settings that reduce the effects of camera shake and sharpen subjects in low-light situations, giving you greater flexibility for shooting.
Improved Movie Mode with fast frame rate With the SD800 IS's Improved Movie Mode, you can shoot extremely high-quality, full-motion movies at 60 fps QVGA (320 x240). When you want to save space, you've also got Standard Recording that lets you shoot at 30 fps VGA (640 x 480). There's even a 15 fps Compact Movie Mode that's ideal for creating movies you can attach to emails.
Print/Share button The PowerShot SD800 IS Digital Elph's Print/Share button makes direct printing easier than ever. Simply connect the SD800 IS Digital Elph to a Canon CP, SElphY or PIXMA Photo Printer or any PictBridge compatible photo printer, press the lighted Print/Share button and print! Also use the Print/Share button to transfer images to a computer (Windows and Macintosh).
Print your own photos in 28 different sizes or use the Movie Print function to output multiple stills from a recorded movie on a single sheet with a Canon SElphY Compact Photo Printer.
Direct Photo Printers
For desktop large-format printing, try one of the Direct Photo Printers that allow you to print without a computer in one of two ways: plug your compatible PowerShot camera into the Direct Photo Printer using the supplied USB interface cable, or simply insert a memory card into the supplied adapter. You can also connect the printer to your computer for more options. Print high-resolution, borderless images as postcards or 8.5 x 11-inch sheets within minutes.
Compact Photo Printers
Compact Photo Printers let you produce versatile, fun 4 x 6-inch postcards, 4 x 8-inch wide greeting cards or credit-card size prints in just two easy steps: connect and press/print. Control the printer right from your camera's LCD monitor. You get durable, dye-sublimated prints quickly with or without borders. Assorted paper types let you create mini or credit card size labels. You can even take the SElphY ES1 and CP730 Compact Photo Printers to a party or an outdoor picnic using an optional rechargeable battery.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I'm not a professional photographer or anything of that sort. I'm a digital artist, and I needed a camera to take reference photos and textures for use in 3D programs such as Maya. This is actually my very first digital camera. I did a ton of research, and came to this conclusion after many, many hours of reviewing. Thanks everyone for your great reviews.
On to my review.
The first thing I noticed about this camera was how pretty it was - It was packaged beautifully, arrived promptly and with all the desired and mentioned extra's included. There are various metallic accents around the lens, and on the top and bottom of the camera. Buttons are also chrome like, the photo's of the camera don't do it justice. But besides physical appearance, I've had nothing but positive experiences with my camera thus far.
I was concerned about some of the negative reviews, the lens problems, and boggled by the choices of SD Elphs (SD 850, SD 1000, SD 700, SD 750, SD THAT, SD This, it was kind of overwhelming, especially to someone who had no idea what they were getting into.) I Eventually decided that any lens problems were in the minority, and that any (IF) issues down the road occured, I'd just deal with them, there's a whole support website devoted to fixing the problem, so I really didn't think it would be a problem. *Knocks on wood*
Here are the various reasons I decided upon this camera out of all the other versions.
1. Reviews. The majority of reviews were very positive, and in terms of the ratio of good vs. bad, it came out like so:
475 good reviews (5 and 4 star) Versus 26 bad reviews (2 and 1 star) not counting the three star reviews.
Reason #2. Photo Examples. Out of all the photos I saw taken by this camera, on the amazon website and others, the photo quality seemed to be great. This has proven true thus far from a personal viewpoint, all my photos of my cat and family turn out well lighted and sharp, and I find the flash works well, however sometimes turning it off auto is needed. (Because sometimes the camera thinks it "needs" the flash, when in fact the photo would look better without it.)
Reason #3. Features and Extras. This Camera has a bagoogle of stuff to play with. All kinds of scene modes, Color swap and Color accent features, which can also be applied to video) as well as light distorting filters that I haven't really experimented with yet. The fact this camera has a wide angle lens is also a big plus. The color swap mode is more addictive than tetris or pong on a boring day. I've seen myself green, hulk style (SO much fun, really...Imagine a short video with you ripping your shirt off.) Friends white cars turned pink, hair turned green, etc. I'm sure soon enough I'll have people saying "OKAY, You've seen my skin blue, put the fricking camera down."
Reason #4. Practicality and Navigation: This Camera, and all its bagoogles of features, are integrated into the camera beautifully. I don't find them detracting from my photo-shooting experiences, because they're tucked out of the way, and don't clutter things up. However, when you need them, you need but flip a switch to summon a plethora of options available, such as ISO and Scene Modes.
Reason #5. It's pretty, Yeah, it's got a green light that emanates from the top of the camera, it really looks nice.
Reason #6. Macro. I bought this camera originally as a means of obtaining textures and reference photos. A lot of the textures I need are macros (Skin, dirt, etc) and I found this camera to have a very professional macro that seems to focus very well, even when almost touching the camera to the surface of whatever it is you're shooting.
That's all! That's why I chose this camera. I believe this camera would be a great choice for anyone who's not a megapixelfile, or too picky about having a ton of manual choices. For the shutterbug who doesn't want to get too involved and caught up in all the complexities that a camera can present, I think this little Bugger will serve you well for simply taking good photos.
Thanks for reading! : )
PS: I bought an 8 GB SDHC Card along with this camera - search for transcend 8 GB in amazon. For 35 bucks or so 8 GB is great, and the card is compatible with this camera and very reliable. : )
PS #2: I'll be sure to come back and edit this review as I spend more time with my camera.
Some other things that I didn't like:
-The picture quality was mediocre. I used to get better results with my old Sony 2 mega pixel, and my previous 2 mega pixel Nikon. Too, too many pictures were just not sharp and clear like I was hoping for. What's the use of 7 mega-pixels, if the sharpness is not there.
-Date stamp only possible on postcard resolution, which was 2 mega-pixel. You should have the option regardless of resolution.
-No "review button," to see the most recent picture at any time. You must switch the rotary dial from picture taking, to picture review, and then back to continue taking pictures to continue taking pictures. Minor inconvenience, because you could adjust the time that picture remains on screen once you take it.
-You can't crop pictures until you transfer pictures to computer. My old, cheap Sony would let you zoom and crop any image on the spot. Minor inconvenience.
-Another minor inconvenience, but it would be nice if you could charge the battery without having to remove it --- lets say simply by plugging in the USB cable to a laptop for example.
Things I did like include:
-Beautiful casing and design.
-The video was excellent, with good picture and very good sound.
-Very good battery life.
-Very feature-packed, even though some weren't functioning for me, as indicated.
-Nice the way you could sort through the files on the memory card, by type, date, and other parameters.
-Wide-angle feature is very handy even though it slightly distorts the images on the edges.
