The loss of all our cameras was bad so we started to hunt the market for a new point-and-shoot camera first. After the good experience with the Ixus 400, my feelings were going towards another Canon one and after looking at the market, the 800 IS seemed a very good choice, especially with the integrated image stabilizer and the optical viewfinder (a feature seen less and less in P-a-S cameras…).

We have not been disappointed. Apart from having a rather weak integrated flash, it is very nice and fast (much faster than the 400), deliver nice 6 Mpxls pictures and large videos (640x480 @ 30 fps).

Still, it can't replace the stolen Minolta...
