Review:
I wanted an 'up to date' camera to capture my new granddaughter's rapidly changing images. I wanted a utility camera for stills and occasional movies on a tour of Italy. I wanted my old hands to stop shaking as I took photos.
The IXUS 800 IS didn't stop my hands shaking but you would never know by the photos that it hadn't. It well satisfied all my requirements.

Stylish, practical and pleasing to use. Its pictures aren't bad either, so it's a good buy at this price
Samsung ST1000
Good camera made great by its excellent touchscreen interface and wireless technology
Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX1
As a showcase for Sony technology, it's brilliant, but it's far from perfect in everyday use
