The S800 is great for family use and for anyone wanting ease and convenience. It comes with an Effect Key allowing the user to adjust the colour of the photos being taken and also add various creative effects. The camera also has an easy mode dial that allows the user to move between portrait, night pictures, and movies, swiftly, depending on the situation. The S800 has a larger LCD screen for clearer picture quality. Printing out pictures is easy via PictBridge which enables an image to be printed directly to a connected compatible printer - without a PC. The S800 features video capabilities (MPEG4, VGA, 30fps) which means it can even double as a camcorder. Advanced features allow "in camera" movie editing and a pause function during recording.
