firstly the Camera is easy to use, but has enough features that it takes great pictures. Importantly It takes pictures quickly, there is little delay from pushing the 'trigger' to the picture... more

    5 Stars IXUS 800 IS 30/06/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Picture quality and general build quality

    Disadvantages Disadvantages slightly too small.

    Opening the box and there isn't much in there: - 2 CDs containg software and drivers and some Arcsoft software that I didn't install when I had my IXUS V and probably won't install now. A wrist strap for you to tie on yourself. An AV cable. A White mini-USB cable. An 1100 mAh 3.7v battery. A battery charger. A quick manual and a more detailed but not brilliant second manual. The camera. 16MB SD card! First I had the painful wait while I charged the battery for the first time, I'd read somewhere that the first charge of the battery took the longest and gave the least camera life so I wanted to ... more

    Advantages Advantages Excellent pics

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None

    This is a good quality product that offers good value for money in the very short term. Although as with most electronic products, the value will deteriorate over time and should be able to get a cheaper version next year. It incorporates most of the latest features and technology that is currently available on the market. Unfortunately its manufacture contributes significantly to global warming. After using this product for a few months I have not so far come up against any reliability issues but only time will tell. I therefore would recommend the product. However, always think carefully as ... more

    4 Stars IXUS for you? 15/12/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Build, image quality

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Buttons can be fiddly to operate

    In some respects I am writing this review to balance out a very unfair 1 star from another writer. Unfortunately another reviewer dropped/knocked the camera off a table and it landed lens first damaging the lens. Accidents happen but it is quite a tecnical bit of kit! The camera was an upgrade to my IXUS 500 as it's had a very tough life so far and I thought it was time to change. I use the 800 alongside my EOS400D so you could say I'm a bit of a Canon'aholic! The IXUS800, like all the IXUS range, has a nice, sleek, sturdy metal body which does protect it from knocks and drops. My 500 has done ... more

    Advantages Advantages Everything

    Disadvantages Disadvantages No battery icon, quite expensive.

    I got this camera for christmas and 10 months later there still isn't a scratch on it. I take this everywhere with me and it has never let me down. I am fairly careful with it though, i have a leather case for mine which obviously helps prolong the life and quality of the screen, and keeps the beautiful 3 tone finish free of scratches. I would definitely recommend purchasing a carry case with this camera! Despite what people have been saying regarding the flimsiness of this, i haven't noticed any problems at all, it's had a few bumps and tumbles but is still in perfect condition. Ok, this is a ... more

    Advantages Advantages Great quality pictures, Impressive zoom

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Cost, screen can crack easily

    I bought this camera to replace my old ixus750 that unfortunately broke when I dropped it. I was very pleased with it when it came although if you are planning on buying this camera, make sure you buy an extra sd memory card with it because the one that comes with it is only 16mb! That can only hold 4 pictures on the highest quality setting, so its pretty useless. I have a 512mb card and find that thats generally fine but have run out of space a couple of times. FEATURES The camera has 3 different shooting modes. There is an automatic mode which does all the settings for you, there's a manual ... more
