Canon PowerShot SD800 IS 7.1MP Digital Elph Camera with 3.8x Wide Angle Image-Stabilized Optical Zoom Reviews
I love it and I carry it in my purse every day just in case I find random things to take pictures of. The face recognition is also pretty neat. I have been using this camera for a year and a half and I haven't had any problems with it. The image stabilization works great and the zoom is good for the small size camera that it is. It was hard for me to choose which camera model I wanted but I am so happy that I chose this one.
This is (was) an excellent camera, if what you want is a pocket-able point-and-shoot camera. (I just got that one, but haven't used it enough to review yet. Very versatile, easy to use, excellent pictures every time. And it's available at a pretty good price right here. Check other websites for professional reviews, e.g., cnet.com). Contrary to what Amazon says, the SD870 IS is the new model equivalent to this one.
CANON refused warranty service due to moisture damage found in the camera. I will move on to another brand in hopes of finding a more real world ready digital camera, one that is designed to resist damage from a few drops of moisture. As a retired engineer it is my opinion that these CANON cameras are -not- designed to stand-up to the rigors of the real world. This is the second CANON digital camera that has failed, one after 2-years of use, the other after only 10mo use. In the real world it could easily have experienced a few drops of moisture.
They work well out of the box but are not robust enough to provide service for anywhere near as long as numerous film cameras I have used for decades with no significant problems. The first camera was out-of-warranty so no repair was attempted. The camera had seen significant use but was never exposed to significant moisture, e.g., it was never dropped in or splashed with liquid. The second camera, an SD800, failed while still under "warranty".
It is easy to hold in the hand, and very simple to use. You won't go wrong with this one. This camera has really pushed the limits in quality. I don't know what is out there to compare to this now, but I have had it for at least a year and I am completely satisfied with it's performance. Sometimes it really goes head to head with my Digital SLR. This camera is really just a fantastic point and shoot. I am still discovering the many shooting presets that it offers.
I had DENTS on the case, pieces missing, and it still worked. it's not sturdy like they used to be. BUT. Canon is turning into Mercedes-Benz.too much in one package for nothing to go wrong. Powershot used to mean robust, and metal-cased.
I am gonna get an SD1000.classic design, NO I/S, and a METAL case. not anymore. This camera takes AWESOME picts.hardly ever blurry now. My father has this and it's GREAT. i dropped it a BUNCH of times. the image stabilization is all messed up now, and it is non-functional. From 4 feet to asphalt, to carpet, to concrete, sending the battery and memory card flying. I dropped it from about a foot out of a side pocket while in a leather canon case, and the focus mechanism is shot.
I kept it as a shrine to the robustness of the design. I am on an SD200 right now, but i know it's gonna take it since it isn't feature laden with sensitive pieces. this thing took ONE hit in a case 2 months old and is done. great camera.just buy a hard padded case. I bought this to replace my SD600, which had an internal memory card error occur. no more thin cases for this one. I had a S110 for 6 YEARS.
