"Great camera in a great size....a keeper!"
Pros: Big screen, great pictures, wide angle
Cons: price....a tad high.
Summary: This is a great camera...period. Takes amazing pictures at ISO 80 and even darker areas ISO 400 is pretty good too if you need the shot. I like the bigger screen with no viewfinder. I had the SD800IS with viewfinder and never used it...ever. I prefer the bigger 3 inch screen especially when viewing my pictures. The one button review after taking pictures is wonderful as is the quick zoom in display button to check for focus.
The time lapse feature in video is amazing for opening your creativity to sunsets or moving objects then making a picture/video CD or uploading to your favorite online sharing site. Trust me once you use the time lapse you'll love it but do use a tripod....it adds such great creativity.
My last important point is the built in red eye eliminator. Once you take the picture if the people have red eye you can go in the menu section select red eye and have it eliminated from the picture....and it works GREAT!! No need to do extra photoshop work as the camera does a great job getting rid of it through the menu feature.
I hope by next year they will have HD video at 1028x760 instead of the current 640x490 video capture it has now.
