Summary: It's a Great Unit
Comment: The wide angle is nice, it's not too wide, but wide enough to make a nice difference. The 2 gig SD card holds many many photos. The battery lasts a long time, and it's a great size for a pocket. The photos are great, and the interface is intuitive. I like it!

Summary: Canon has problems with telephoto shots
Comment: I bought the Canon Powershot SD800 IS back over a year ago when it first showed up on the market. I bought it because it had image-stabilization which I knew would be a great way to stop camera shake in low light situations and when one takes telephoto shots. I am still amazed how much technology they can put into a small camera such as this Canon SD800 IS. This is my second point and shoot Canon camera and both cameras had to be sent back to Canon to have the lens taken out and replaced because of black smudges showing up on my telephoto pictures. You could see them easily in the light blue sky area which was ruining my pictures! Canon replaced the lens without costs but after using them awhile afterwards, those black smudges showed up again in only the telephoto shots! Long story short - I don't know if this occurs in other brands but I will not be buying anymore Canon cameras for now even though I know they are a great company. Otherwise, this camera was great in every other way. But if the pictures aren't clean, then all of that high tech doesn't matter.

Summary: Great Point and Shoot camera
Comment: After researching several brands and models, the SD800IS was the best pick for my needs. Key selling points for me were the wide angle zoom, face detection and a real viewfinder that works with the zoom. Also, the software that comes with the camera is adequate for basic print, web and movie mode photo editing. Only thing I wish it had was a battery meter; an icon appears when the battery is getting low and it doesn't tell you how much time you have before it quits. But overall, a great camera!

Summary: Point & Shoot with Style
Comment: The interface is simple to learn, the features are all you need to get great photos, the build is super and the results are outstanding.
I bought this wee camera over others because it has a wide angle lens and it has a viewfinder (there are bright sunny days when you just can't see an LCD screne well enough to compose an image). I also bought it because I believe Canon cameras produce the best images in terms of natural colour, low noise and sharp detail.
I don't think you can get a better camera for $300. Buy it with a case with a belt loop, wear it often and take many many photos - you'll be delighted.
