This is the spearhead in the Digital Ixus series from Canon. With a new curved design and a host of features and options, the Digital Ixus 800 IS is at the top of its category.
Compact and light cameras are very sensitive to vibrations and hand movements, particularly in poor lighting conditions. Because of this, Canon has included a digital image stabiliser on the Ixus 800 IS, the same one that Canon uses for its professional EF lenses, allowing you to take great photos without a flash. The 4x optical zoom for the Ixus 800 IS includes an aspheric lens and has a sensitivity of ISO 800 so you can take photos indoors without needing to use a flash. Another strong point is the 2.5" LCD screen, so you can monitor your photos before and after taking them!
It has a selection wheel at the back of the camera that you can control using your thumb, for even more user-friendliness. Add a 16:9 recording mode and numerous scene modes, and you get a really versatile camera!
The Ixus 800 IS, a jewel in terms of performance and aesthetics, will give you everything you need for superb photos!
