A recent review on the Canon Digital IXUS 800 IS has been run by PhotographyBlog where they state, 'As the IXUS 800 IS was originally announced before Easter, expect news of an update from Canon before long. That doesn’t make this model any less desirable. It just means that you should be able to pick one up for a very competitive price if you hunt around. In short, the IXUS 800 IS adds up to a compact camera with which you cannot go far wrong, and will satisfy both beginner and enthusiast looking for a more portable means of taking pictures on the wing.'
