The good: The Canon PowerShot A800 is a no-frills point-and-shoot that takes AA-size batteries. It's easy to use and produces nice photos despite its low price.
The bad: The A800 has slow shooting performance and a low-resolution LCD that's very difficult to see in bright sunlight.
The bottom line: Considering its bargain price, you'll get excellent photos from the Canon PowerShot A800. Just don't expect anything more than that and you'll be fine.
