Canon Powershot SD800 IS Preview by CNET

canon-powershot-sd800-is-sp.jpegThere's a great preview of the Canon Powershot SD800 IS by CNET where the group writes, 'The 7-megapixel PowerShot SD800 IS sits at the top of Canon's ultracompact PowerShot SD-series of cameras, shoulder to shoulder with the higher resolution but less feature-rich PowerShot SD900. The SD800 IS's biggest feature is its lens, an image-stabilized 3.8X zoom lens with a 28mm-equivalent wide-angle shot that offers far more flexibility than the SD900's narrower, unstabilized lens.

The SD800 IS's sensor can boost as high as ISO 1,600, giving the camera an even greater edge in low-light and action shots. It also features a movie mode that can record VGA videos at 30fps, or QVGA (320 x 240) videos at 60fps for slow-motion effects. Finally, the SD800 IS features Canon's new Digic III image processor, which Canon claims improves performance, image quality, and battery life. We'll have to see whether or not their claims hold up in our labs.' Be watching for that review!
