Review:
I am one of the most cautious buyers I know, so before deciding to buy this camera I had scoured the net for all reviews and suggestions. Out of all the cameras I read about, the Ixus 800 IS came up trumps. The Canon Web site is also great, with sample images and camera comparisons.
I can honestly say this camera did not disappoint. The picture quality is unbelievable. I have a small gallery of some shots I took in Scotland if you want to see. http://picasaweb.google.com/wamweri/PublicScotlandPics
Brilliant camera, I don't see myself getting another camera in many years to come.

Stylish, practical and pleasing to use. Its pictures aren't bad either, so it's a good buy at this price

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
