Don't buy a Canon!

I got the fatal "Lens Error" after 10 months. This was a great camera, but I think a camera should last a little longer. This is a HUGE problem with Canon Powershots, and I really wish I had known about it BEFORE I bought this camera last Christmas. My camera is still under warranty, but they say that it is due to abuse and won't cover it. It was not abused, it just stopped working.
Lens error after 1 year!

I love the quality of Canon pictures, but after 1 year of use, we had the notorious "lens error". To repair it is more expensive than to buy a new camera. If you google lens error and canon, you will see that this is a common problem with canon cameras. So you are buying a good camera, but it won't last long.
Couldn't ask for more.

I purchased this camera about 18 months ago, and couldn't be more thrilled with it! It is compact enough to be carried in a purse or pocket, and the battery life is incredible - I've only had to battery 5 times since purchase, with very regular use. The image quality is great, and in some cases is actually better than my Canon XTi DSLR camera when it comes to low-light or candid and uncomposed shots.
The SD800 is by far the best point-and-shoot camera I have ever come across, and has made me a loyal Canon customer for life. Highly recommended!
Still working great!

I have been using this camera for a year and a half and I haven't had any problems with it. I love it and I carry it in my purse every day just in case I find random things to take pictures of. It was hard for me to choose which camera model I wanted but I am so happy that I chose this one! The image stabilization works great and the zoom is good for the small size camera that it is. The face recognition is also pretty neat.
excellent camera, sd870 is the updated version (not sd850)

This is (was) an excellent camera, if what you want is a pocket-able point-and-shoot camera. Very versatile, easy to use, excellent pictures every time.
Contrary to what Amazon says, the SD870 IS is the new model equivalent to this one. And it's available at a pretty good price right here. (I just got that one, but haven't used it enough to review yet. Check other websites for professional reviews, e.g., cnet.com.)
