The Canon Powershot A800 Digital Camera (Black) takes the guesswork out of deciding what you need in a digital camera--it has everything you need to take beautiful color photographs.

Start with the basics: a high-resolution 10-megapixel CCD sensor, a 37-122mm (35mm equivalent) 3.3x zoom lens, and a bright 2.5" LCD monitor for composing and viewing your pictures.

The Smart Auto mode will automatically choose the right settings, based on 19 predefined common shooting situations (including Portrait, Kids & Pets, Beach, Snow, Foliage, Fireworks, etc.)--all you have to do is push the shutter button for great pictures every time. Face Detection technology optimizes focus, shutter speed and exposures for the people in your photos. Low Light mode plus Blur Reduction technology plus sensitivity up to 1600 ISO means you never need to worry about blurry pictures, even when there isn't a lot of light. Red-Eye Correction is built-in, and there's even a Macro mode so you can take dramatic close-up pictures (from as close as 0.4"/1 cm!).

This compact (3.7 x 2.4 x 1.2"/94 x 61 x 31mm) and lightweight (6.5 oz/186 g) camera runs on easy-to-find AA batteries, so you can take it with you everywhere--and never miss a good picture. A required memory card is not included.

New Scene Modes Help You Get Creative the Easy Way

PowerShot A800 digital camera is equipped with plenty of easy ways give your shots high quality and fun creative touches:
Super Vivid mode is just what the name implies. When you shoot in this mode, colors are automatically heightened and saturated for an intensity that's truly eye-popping. You'll want to try it out in a wide range of applications - nature, city life, interiors and more - to get a feel for the effects you can create.
Poster Effect turns any conventional shot into an exciting, artistic "poster." By making the transitions between colors more abrupt, the mode creates the effect of a hand-painted poster. Portraits are a natural for this mode, but you'll find that the effect can give any shot a visually arresting new dimension.
Blur Reduction automatically reduces camera shake, so your shots are clear and steady. The system detects surrounding brightness and controls shutter speed - all while you're concentrating on getting the shot you want. Without any extra effort on your part, your shots are crisp and detailed.
