Abstract: The Canon SD800 is the pocket camera to get. Id have bought it the instant it was announced, except that I had bought the similar SD700 two months before the SD800 was announced. In other parts of the world, the SD800 is called the DIGITAL IXUS 850. ...

Good focal range for lens, Quick performance, Optical image stabilisation, Attractive design

Take the 850 IS, for example... it's incredibly stylish with all the good looks of its stable mates. However, with 7 megapixels and a wider-angle zoom this is no ordinary point-and-shoot snapper.The 850's metallic casing goes far beyond what's required...
28 mm wide angle, stabilized zoom, Very fast startup at 1 second, Design, finishing touches, efficient face tracking, Color fidelity quite good, nice white balance, Antinoise filter
Price, Noise control could be more efficient, Still has sound defects for voices
Abstract: Canons latest Ixus is a victory for substance over style. Many people may buy the 850 IS because it looks fantastic, but theyll get great images too. The wide-angle lens is great, and although the higher ISOs are noisy, the excellent colour performan...
