The best of the lot 2008
I purchased this for my wife, and it is excellent in nearly all ways. I bought the 800 predecessor for my daughter last year and she is very happy with it. The most important issue perhaps is the wide angle. You can not back away far enough from many subjects indoors with a 35 mm equivalent lens. Yes, you sacrifice the long telephoto end (without digital zoom) but unless you are photographing your daughters competitive event, you can walk closer to most subjects. My serious camera is a professional 4 x 5 view camera, and my semi serious camera is a 5D with 3 lenses. However this is a great camera as a handy reach for on the spur of the moment. I shouldn't even comment on image quality, it is good for nearly anything the above average shooter needs (or wants?). I have even included some shots from this camera on a wedding set. The one complaint is that the on/off switch is too easily pressed accidentally, the predecessor 800's power button was flush with the body, this one protrudes and an accidental turn on when the lens isn't able to extend wouldn't be the best for it. I glued a small half inch foam rubber furniture protector around it after punching a small hole in the middle to solve the problem. A side note of advice for a camera case is that the Tamrac T4 is a perfect fit for this camera. (I must have looked at least 20 cases, that one is simple without an overload of extra compartments and the camera fits smoothly in and out without any excess slop. Don't buy the Canon leather wallet for this camera, you will find it is like getting in and out of tights, and you will press the power button for sure, which will make the lens try to extend . . . .
Good handy camera
I did a lot of research before buying this camera and my research paid off well... Good picture quality in daylight/ indoor night settings. Worth the price!
Great Camera
This camera works great and is easy to use. The delay is very short (Much faster than my last Digital camera Nikon) and has tons of features. I love the super wide angle. Would highly recommend.
great upgrade
My last Canon was stolen from our car so I needed to get another. I upgraded to this SD870IS model and am delighted that the viewer is larger and takes crystal clear photos. Love the portable purse-perfect size.
Excellent Camera
My third of these cameras to buy for myself and family members. The wide screen lens takes excellent landscapes while the face tracking and automatic exposure makes portraits and candid shots a breeze. The LCD display is one of the best I've ever seen. |
