Canon PowerShot A800 prices and specs
The PowerShot A800 was released on Jan 5, 2011. For today the cheapest price for the device is 179.99
The PowerShot A800 is a compact camera. Its main advantage is a small size: the photographer can even put it in the pocket. The Canon PowerShot A800 is equipped with different automatic modes but you won't shoot pictures of the same perfect quality in comparison to large sensor compact cameras.
The device can take images at 10 megapixels highest resolution. But for better photo quality the more important specification is a sensor size. The PowerShot A800 has a 1/2.3' (6.17 x 4.55 mm) sensor which means that the PowerShot A800 will produce images with a lower quality than cameras with bigger sensors but instead it has another advantage - the PowerShot A800 is small. But if you want to produce images of the best quality check Sony Alpha 7 II.
The Canon PowerShot A800 has max shutter speed of 1/2000 sec. It is an average shutter speed which will be enough for making action images of a satisfactory quality. The device can even produce videos but the max resolution is not very high - 640 x 480 (30 fps).
The lens is built into the device and the photographer won't be able to change it. The lens provides weak 3x optical zoom.
The PowerShot A800 battery life will be enough to shoot about 300 images.
