    Canon Powershot SD800 IS - Cosmetics


    (Page 2 of 4 )

    The design of this camera is, for the most part, in line with typical Canon fashion with the somewhat boxy look of the body and familiar control placements. Canon has done a great job at squeezing all of the controls into a small package. This camera is definitely pocket-sized with its dimensions measuring in at 3.5 x 1 x 2.3 inches. It tips the scale at a feathery-light 5.3 ounces.

    The LCD screen on the back of the SD800 is relatively large at 2.5 inches; it takes up most of the real estate on the rear side of the camera. Just above the LCD screen, Canon has placed an optical viewfinder, which is always nice to have. To the right of the LCD screen, we find most of the controls and buttons on the camera. Although this camera is small, Canon has managed to keep the buttons large enough so that you're able to choose the correct button with relative ease. You can find the menu options in a dial on the back of the camera, as well as ISO setting adjustments and various scene modes.

    The overall look of the camera is pretty striking. It is cloaked in stainless steel and sports some very stylish curves in spite of the boxy design. It is a great looking camera that fits the part of an upper-class point-and-shoot digital camera with its looks and features. The only downside to the great stainless steel look is the potential for many scratches and dents that would be extremely visible because of the finish of the camera. In my opinion, this should not be any reason to rule out any camera, because it's what's inside that really counts; didn't your Mom ever teach you that?!
