DPInterface has reviewed of the 7.1 megapixel Canon PowerShot SD800 IS Digital ELPH / IXUS 850 IS and they write - “Image quality was overall satisfactory. On one hand, there’s low noise, optimal sharpness and color accuracy was there. The camera’s 3 cm macro mode also means you can get really close. On the other hand, the lens itself probably caused the downsides of image quality on the SD800 IS: Corner softness and color fringing.

I’d definitely recommend the Canon PowerShot SD800 IS Digital ELPH, which is an all-round camera, not having any really huge issues. Despite my recommendation, you may also wanna check out the Panasonic Lumix FX07 and FX50 twins which also have wide-angle lenses but retail for $50 - $100 less. The latter has a huge 3 inch display as well. So take a look at the SD800 IS, and also check out its competitors, and see which one you like better.”

• 3x Optical Zoom
