 Canon Digital IXUS 800 IS - Sensitivity
According to Mark Goldstein: "A top sensitivity setting of ISO 800 is respectable, and, although noise starts to noticeably intrude upwards of ISO 400, results via this maximum setting are still perfectly usable. A good performance from a digicam for which style matters nearly as much as the end result; indeed overall I found the results from the IXUS 800 IS more consistent than those from the Fuji F30 I was using for the same period, under the same conditions."
Canon IXUS 800IS - Auto focus and Night photography
Mark continues: "With most shooting conditions returning impressive results, the nine point AiAF is pretty spot on, picking up on subjects that are not always dead centre of frame, while macro down to 2cm is great for photographing summer blooms. In Japan recently, I also used the Night Snapshot and Foliage settings from among the shooting modes a lot, because, quite simply, they worked, picking up background detail and adding some pep to the foreground respectively."

About PhotographyBLOG
Mark Goldstein started his very active website PhotographyBLOG in January 2003. At first the one and only purpose was to let this site function as one of those popular web logs with Photography as main topic. But as we all know Photography is a pretty big subject to publish about so Mark decided to focus on some hot key points like mentioning all new introductions, reviews, reports from events like PMA and Photokina, sharing some impressive and creative photos and Mark's sole perspective of his feeling about this fascinating world of Digital Imaging. Mark is based in the UK, but his eagle-eye focuses global.
