Loaded with Features, Packed with Value.

With the PowerShot A800 digital camera, dramatic, personal pictures have never been easier to shoot and share. This 10.0 Megapixel camera lets you create impressive large photos of family and friends you'll be proud to display. The high-resolution images taken by the PowerShot A800 can be enlarged up to 13" x 19". The PowerShot A800 has a 3.3x Optical Zoom lens (35mm film equivalent 37 - 122mm) that let you capture up-close and memorable images.

New Scene Modes Help You Get Creative the Easy Way.

The 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.

Get the Power Anywhere!

Conveniently, you don't need to worry about running out or recharging of batteries with the PowerShot A800 digital camera. Since AA-size batteries can be purchased at any store, simply get new ones locally.

See the Image on a Big Screen.

The PowerShot A800's 2.5-inch LCD screen gives you the big picture, whether you're shooting, reviewing or showing off your images. This high-resolution screen offers a crisp, clear and bright picture. It also features Night Display for easy viewing in low light.
