Geared to satisfy serious photographers, the ultra-compact Canon PowerShot SD800 IS Digital Camera stays true to its design heritage with a smoothly sculpted curvature design and all-metal finish. Enhanced performance and image quality are assured through Canon's latest DIGIC III image processor, which also enables low-noise ISO 1600 shooting and new Face Detection AF/AE - a Canon technology that detects up to nine faces in a frame and automatically optimizes the focus and exposure for great people shots.

Offering a focal length range of 28 - 105mm (35mm equivalent), the PowerShot SD800 IS 3.8x optical zoom lens allows photographers to capture wider panoramas, architectural photos and group shots. The lens incorporates Canon's optical Image Stabilizer to counteract the effects of camera shake for steadier performance in low light, at full zoom or when shooting from moving vehicles.

• 7.1 Megapixel Resolution: The 7.1 Megapixel sensor ensures that images are captured with all the detail needed for large photo quality prints. Taking advantage of the camera's resolving power, photographers can use the Safety Zoom feature to expand the zoom range without impacting on image quality - up to 15x zoom when shooting Small size images.

• Wide-angle 3.8x Optical Zoom with Optical Image Stabilizer Technology: Engineered with Canon's sophisticated wide-angle 3.8x zoom lens (28-105mm equivalent) with integrated Image Stabilizer technology, the SD800 IS Digital ELPH gives you the "shake-free" performance that makes your pictures sharp and clear - no matter how close you zoom in.

• Superb Ergonomic Design: The camera is as beautiful to hold as the images it takes, with a Perpetual Curve design that has the look of fine sculpture, and its unique form is engineered to conform to the shape of your hand- making the camera comfortable to hold.

• DIGIC III Processor with Face Detection AF/AE: Delivering fast, responsive camera performance and superb image rendering, the DIGIC III processor also drives Canon's landmark Face Detection technology. Face Detection AF/AE ensures accurate and bright people shots by automatically detecting faces in a scene and optimizing focus and exposure accordingly, and because the technology is hardware-based, it operates at the same rapid speed as Canon's standard AiAF. Furthermore, the processor incorporates iSAPS scene-recognition technology using an internal database of thousands of different photos to improve focus speed and accuracy, as well as exposure and white balance.

• High ISO to Reduce Image Blur and Expand Low-light Shooting: The PowerShot SD800 IS Digital ELPH features ISO 1600 and High ISO Auto settings that reduce the effects of camera shake and sharpen subjects in low-light situations, giving you greater flexibility for shooting.

• Shooting modes and My Colors: Adaptable to almost any shooting situation, the camera's 17 shooting modes include an Aquarium Special Scene mode and a manual mode for selection of exposure settings such as White Balance and ISO - now made easier with the inclusion of a dedicated ISO button. For creative image manipulation in-camera, My Colors photo effects can be applied during and after shooting. A My Category function simplifies image management by automatically tagging images with categories such as People, Scenery and Events, based on face detection and the shooting mode selected.

• Advanced Video Recording: The camera's movie functions include 30fps VGA recording with sound, and Canon's unique Intelligent Orientation Sensor automatically rotates vertically shot movies for playback on camera, PC or TV via the integrated AV Out connection. You can also shoot extremely high quality full-motion movies at 60 fps QVGA (320 x240), and there is even a 15 fps Compact Movie Mode that's ideal for creating movies you can attach to emails.

• High-resolution 2.5" LCD Display: The bright 2.5" LCD screen features a wide viewing angle for comfortable image framing and viewing, with a screen resolution of 207,000 pixels, and users can select the Image Inspection Tool to display a magnified section next to each captured shot straight after shooting. This high-resolution screen offers a crisp, clear picture and wider viewing angle to make shooting, playback and using the camera's menu functions especially convenient. The clear and bright LCD also features Night Display for easy viewing in low light. For accurate framing without the LCD, the camera retains a real-image optical viewfinder- useful in difficult lighting situations or when battery power is running low.

• Easy, Flexible Direct Printing Options: The Print/Share button makes direct printing easier than ever. Simply connect the camera to a Canon Direct Photo Printer or PictBridge supported printer, press the Print/Share button and print. The Direct Print feature allows for image preview and editing (including cropping) on the camera when connected to a compatible printer. Also use the Print/Share button to transfer images directly to a computer (Windows).
