Customer Reviews:

Still working great! [Posted on 2008-08-19]
I have been using this camera for a year and a half and I haven't had any problems with it. I love it and I carry it in my purse every day just in case I find random things to take pictures of. It was hard for me to choose which camera model I wanted but I am so happy that I chose this one! The image stabilization works great and the zoom is good for the small size camera that it is. The face recognition is also pretty neat.

Couldn't ask for more. [Posted on 2008-09-10]
I purchased this camera about 18 months ago, and couldn't be more thrilled with it! It is compact enough to be carried in a purse or pocket, and the battery life is incredible - I've only had to battery 5 times since purchase, with very regular use. The image quality is great, and in some cases is actually better than my Canon XTi DSLR camera when it comes to low-light or candid and uncomposed shots.

The SD800 is by far the best point-and-shoot camera I have ever come across, and has made me a loyal Canon customer for life. Highly recommended!

Lens error after 1 year! [Posted on 2008-10-26]
I love the quality of Canon pictures, but after 1 year of use, we had the notorious "lens error". To repair it is more expensive than to buy a new camera. If you google lens error and canon, you will see that this is a common problem with canon cameras. So you are buying a good camera, but it won't last long.

Don't buy a Canon! [Posted on 2008-11-03]
I got the fatal "Lens Error" after 10 months. This was a great camera, but I think a camera should last a little longer. This is a HUGE problem with Canon Powershots, and I really wish I had known about it BEFORE I bought this camera last Christmas. My camera is still under warranty, but they say that it is due to abuse and won't cover it. It was not abused, it just stopped working.

It would be 5* but for one failing. [Posted on 2008-11-23]
I've had this camera 1 year now. It's the Euro model [IXUS 850 IS] which is the same beast as the SD800. This camera was marketed as 'the serious photographer's side arm' & I think that's dead right. I've carried it with me pretty much the all the time, which is the whole point of owning it.

As a pro of 3 decades who owned & used all formats from 10" x 8" to 35mm, after a lot of thought & brain-numbing research, my compact digi camera had to posses 3 prime attributes. A few mega-pixels +/- was not an issue for a camera of this sort. The following points were paramount to me.

1] It had to be able to fit with ease into a shirt pocket. 2] It had to have an optical v/finder. The 'sleep-walker' posture of framing up with the screen is a no-no for a variety of reasons, not least of which is vastly increased battery drain. 3] It had to have a 28mm [35mm equiv] lens.

The camera has performed well beyond my expectations. It takes wonderful photos in a wide variety of conditions, some of which I found astonishing that it should produce anything at all, let alone images of such quality. If you run the results through a lab test or compare it with cameras much higher up the quality scale, you will find things to beef about. But for a camera of this type, in the sector it inhabits, it's amazing.

The deduction of 1 star comes about because the covers for the card/battery bay and the connections bay are woefully flimsy. Real care has to be taken every time these covers are opened/closed. I have a silicone 'skin' on my IXUS [which I very much recommend] and peeling apart the cut-out over the card bay and then gingerly opening the cover needs 100% concentration. One slip and you could easily tear the cover right off.

This camera is now no longer on Canon's current range and there is no direct replacement. The only camera that has a 28mm w/a has no v/finder.
I've complained to Canon about leaving a hole where this model used to be. There is no alternative but second-hand or 'new old stock' sellers. And note: some of these new cameras are now right back up to the original retail price! That's because, without going right to the top of the Canon compact range - the new G10, which is expensive and substantially larger - there's nothing else available.
