See all you could see with one of the most full-featured compact cameras ever. Enjoy amazing detail with 8 megapixels. Experience the view on a large, super clear 2.5" HyperCrystal LCD. Feel comfortable with a built-in Help Guide. Feel confident with Bright Capture Technology for improved previewing and shooting in low light situations. With an all-weather design to take on the elements, and 24 shooting modes to take on any situation.
I switched my old Minolta Z1 with this amazing camera. My main criterias were good happens in night shots and compact size with best optics.
Stylus 800 didn't fail me in any of this criteria, contrariwise it provide me with even more functions I honoured by really snowy weather in Alps (it is water resistant) and with those Scene modes it's producing even better pictures than I can manualy set.
Pros:
- great resolution (you can enlarge small point on the picture and can see what it realy is)
- good autofocus indoor and by room-light
- water resistance (no more stress from rain, waves or anything else)
- heavy metal body
- very fast 1st picture (lens go out in a wink)
- large LCD with great resolution
- very useful ISO 1600 function by evening scenes or fast moving scenes (only 3MPix, but thats enough for travelers like me) without "snow" on pictures
- good flash distance for a compact
- good battery lifetime (I can fill my 1GB card on 1 charge)
Cons:
- slow down picture download to computer (USB 1.0 exclusively - with my 1GB card it takes a while - about 15-20 min.)
- slow video (only 15 frames ps) with only digital zoom during recording
- flash recharging sometimes takes a while (about 5 sec)
- leather bag delivered in accessory kit without pocket for second battery (where do you want to lose it again)
- without "anti-red-eye" flash it makes almost always red eyes, but there is software correction accessible directly in camera or in included software
- software included for managing pictures is slow and too functionally, what leads to dificulty (I lost several pictures after I made a red eye correction and tried to save it - result was .jpg file but corrupted, really unconvenient bug)
