Dan_S, thanks for the prompt reply. Surprised that Canon would build a P&S camera in Japan. Thought they would build it in China or Malaysia. Leaning towards the 800 now. :D

My previous P&S - ixus v3, was also built in Japan.

I would highly recommend the 800 too :)

It's rare Japanese companies produce cameras in Japan nowadays. I have another topic which should be started in another tread but will ask here. How is the quality of the audio when recording video with the camera? The Panasonic FX-01 had great audio so was hoping the 800 could be on par. Any thoughts 800 owners?
