DCRP have posted a review of the Canon PowerShot SD700 IS digital camera, also known as the Ixus 800. The Canon PowerShot SD700 is an ultra compact digital camera with 6 megapixels resolution, a 4x optical zoom and a 2.5 inch LCD. The PowerShot SD700 is also equipped with an optical anti shake feature that reduces picture blur.

Here is part of the review conclusion:
“The PowerShot SD700 is a compact and very stylish camera. […] Thankfully Canon didn’t dump the optical viewfinder on this camera — that feature seems to be going the way of the dinosaur in the ultra-compact class. […]

Camera performance is very good. The camera starts up in about a second, it focuses quickly, and shutter lag was not a problem. Shot-to-shot times were impressive, as was the SD700’s low light focusing abilities. The continuous shooting mode is superb. […]

The SD700 produced very good photos with just a few annoyances. Photos were well-exposed, with nice color, low noise through ISO 200 (and reasonable noise at ISO 400), and minimal purple fringing. […]

I always enjoyed using the PowerShot SD500 and SD550, and with the SD700 Canon has given me even more to love. It’s not quite perfect (but what camera is?), but the SD700 is an easy recommendation to anyone who wants great photos and performance from a compact and stylish camera.”
