Canon PowerShot SD800 IS
I became a Canon PowerShot fan a few years ago - having fallen in love with the G2 and its feature set / form factor. My first pocket camera (ever) was an SD550, though I sold it and moved to the SD700 IS when it became available. I use the SD700 IS way more than I do my S2 IS - though I’m getting ready to sell both of ‘em. Why? The Canon PowerShot SD800 IS is coming:
- The PowerShot SD800 IS features a 7.1-million-pixel CCD sensor. This high-resolution imager ensures every picture will have excellent detail, even when printed large, or cropped.
- Brand new lens design integrates a wide angle zoom (28-105mm equivalent) and image stabilization. This 3.8x wide zoom lens was designed with fewer yet “smarter” optics (dual sided aspherics and UA) to achieve a compact size with wide angle and IS while maintaining impressive image quality. The SD800 IS is the first Digital Elph to feature both of these exciting lens technologies.
- Takes the performance and speed of DIGIC II to even higher levels of processing power including new face detection function, up to 1600 speed ISO, high-ISO noise reduction, lower power consumption, increased speed for SD media cards, and higher resolution image processing for enhanced LCD viewing.
It’s an incremental upgrade from the SD700 IS, which is still an amazing camera. Anybody want it or my S2 IS? :)

I’m really intrigued by the the 28mm equivalent at the wide end on the new one. The iso1600 mode + the IS should be really cool for indoor shooting under less than idea lighting. I hope the noise & detail is better than my s400 @ iso400 after I run it through NeatImage.
It goes without saying, I’m not interested in the sd700 :)

I just picked up an SD500 (cheap!) and plan to use it for a year or two before upgrading. When I do this is what I want: 10mp, faster SD card with more capacity, Larger LCD, better everything. Photokina just started!

I am a canon fan myself. I had the powershot G6, loved that thing. IT was easy for me to handle with my ventilator and my wheelchair. I dropped the darn thing, and now they don’t make them anymore.
I settled for a Kodak, but it just isn’t a canon. I needed a new camera badly …love to take pics.
speaking of pics..
