Canon Digital Elph SD800 any reviews

[ChrisAlli]

A few days ago I asked about smaller easy to use digital cameras. Since then I've been looking and came across the Canon SD800.

Does anyone own this or have you heard/read good things about it.

Thanks

If this is the same as the Canon Ixus 800 (Ixus is the European model name - Im in the UK) then I have this camera and its great. Very well made, takes great snaps and is a snip to use.

I researched long and hard before I bought this - I wanted it specifically to keep in my pocket to take photos of food and indoor character meets, so needed a good low light camera. My research led me to this model and the Fuji F30 which were both the same sort of price. I handled both in the camera shop and the canon felt much better made and it suited me more. Having said that, the F30 is a great little camera too.

I can post some WDW pics taken with my 800 if you are interested.

Hope that has given you an idea of how the camera performs in different lighting conditions.

OMG, those look great!!!!

Thank you so much, I'm going to show DH later.

Is it easy enough to use? My problem with our Nikon is I can't figure anything out and it's huge. It does take great pictures but it's too fancy for me. The owners manual is as thick as a dictionary.
