Digital camera reviews of Canon PowerShot SD800 IS 7.1MP Digital Elph Camera with 3.8x Wide Angle Image-Stabilized Optical Zoom
Digital camera Review: Canon makes the best cameras.
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this camera in December of 2007! (wow, time flies!) It was an upgrade from my Canon SD300 4MP (my first digital camera, bought around in 2004. Paid $500 for it! But it was a good investment since I'm still using it, and it's still working the same -- close to 5 years later! I've taken it on many trips and it has taken a lot of beating.) Ironically, this SD800 camera, that was an upgrade for me, was less than half the cost. Was it worth the upgrade for me? Yes. The larger screen, wider lens, SDHC support (SD300's now outdated technology was limited to 2GB), image stabilizer (it was a lot harder to hold still with the SD300, especially when asking people to take pictures for me without using flash; to get around that, it's best to shoot in snapshots and hope that one of them comes out sharp) and the added mega pixels for larger prints/cropping was definitely worth it. However, I don't find the SD300 obsolete because it's still much smaller and still shoots great photos.
Many cameras these days shoot in HD (1080 or 720) now. However, I was surprised to find out the video quality on this camera (max resolution at 640x480) still beats the low-end HD cameras, with poor sensor, that just interpolate to higher resolutions (it looks so awful - I'm talking about you, Mr. Sanyo TH-1!). Even though the video capability on this camera is a bit outdated now, I still find use for shooting with this camera.
Even after all these years, I still love both my point and shoot cameras. It's just a no question that Canon is a leading camera company. I also recently bought an old Canon A-1 35mm film camera (made in the 1970's) and the build quality and technology on it still impressed me. Canon has my trust in cameras. Period. Design, functions, results - they usually don't disappoint.
You really shouldn't be paying $500 for this point and shoot camera now. For that kind of money these days, you should be getting a DSLR with more features.
