DIGIC III provides a speedier interface for the SD800 IS Digital Elph's SD memory card, as well as higher definition for its LCD monitor. Face Detection makes it easy to snap the perfect picture DIGIC III also empowers new Face Detection AF/AE, which finds all the faces in the frame and sets the most suitable focus point, when the shutter button is depressed half-way. Exposure and flash are controlled to ensure proper illumination of both the faces and the overall scene, eliminating the common problem of darkened or overexposed faces. iSAPS Technology is an entirely original scene-recognition technology developed for digital cameras by Canon. Using an internal database of thousands of different photos, iSAPS works with the fast DIGIC III Image Processor to improve focus speed and accuracy, as well as exposure and white balance.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews 178 of 180 people found this review helpful. I love this photo Winton C. In my opinion, this camera is worthy of a 5-star one of the few I've ever seen. My experience with cameras in this class began with a Canon S-100, I updated the latest. Canon S-400, both of which suited my needs for on-the-go photography My only criticism with this class of cameras was that they have two things I really wanted was lacking: 1 2 wide-wide-angle lens. Canon Image Stabilization I think people read my mind with the introduction of the SD-800, and after reading some positive reviews for the camera technology over the Internet, I bought a place upgrade to my beloved S-400. I was particularly suspicious regarding image stabilization, since my only experience was disappointing with a camera with this technology (Canon S-1, a larger 10x zoom model). As can be expected to progress in memory technology, SD-800 takes movies at a higher resolutioni (640x480) than the S-400 (320x240) and has a higher maximum number of pixels (71 vs. 4.0). It also uses smaller SD memory card than the age of CF Card to S-400, however, and the lithium battery has a different form factor (ie, you can not be recycled stuff from a previous model). What I think are the 2 real upgrade features for this camera, wide angle lens and image stabilization, is what really sets them apart from competitors. I report this camera for about a month and you can be happy is a major improvement compared to the S-400. The image stabilization is a dream. With S-400 I had braces at the camera in many cases where the SD-800, I can count on sharp images just stick it out, write and put in the shot. In a recent shift in my group had collected a large amount of writing on the blackboard in width along the side of a small conference room, which could capture in a single, very special shot across the board, something that the S-400 would have taken two shots to achieve, followed by a period of images there is some distortion in the outer edges, but I personally do not see it as a nuisance because of the benefits of getting the whole picture (after all, you can crop the image if very small distortion of the truth bothers you ). What else? Well, the camera easier and more conveniently shaped than the S-400. It keeps the viewer (thankfully ... just that there are circumstances in which this is the only reasonable way to compose a shot). A single door is used for memory and battery (vs. 2 doors on the S-400). As others have said, the door has a weak sense, but my camera for the first time in this line (S-100) had a similar door and never broke. Anyway, the USB-2 picture download virtually eliminates the need to pop out memory card to a faster download speeds get through a reader, I invest in a 4GB high speed SD card since maximum movie length 4 GB is at 640x480, 30 frames per second, or approximately 25 minutes worth of pretty darn good film does. My experience so far is that this level of features and ease I doubt I will every use my cam corder again for family movies. Out of the box I found the controls and interface will be simpler and more intuitive than the S-400. I have all the opportunities that I had with the S-400, plus some "gee whiz," I have fun with, but I doubt I will use regularly (such as Color Swap). I can also meet the Canon leather case for this camera. It gives a very simple way to wear your camera on your belt (it uses a belt, which I think is much better than a belt clip). Before I was put off by the magnetic strip used with this case, but now agree that it is a superior design (their case with Velcro Earll) 88 of 88 people found the following review helpful.
