About the product.

The PowerShot A800 from 2011 is close to the end of the line for AA-powered CCD compacts — after this, almost everything moved to proprietary lithium packs and CMOS sensors. It is the highest-resolution camera in this batch at 10 megapixels, with a 3.3x zoom that starts slightly wider than the older A-series bodies, and it is small and light enough to forget you are carrying it.

In short

The most modern camera in this batch and the one with the most resolution, while still being a true CCD sensor with the colour rendering that comes with it. Takes SDXC cards, so storage is a non-issue. Runs on two AA batteries, not included — a pair of rechargeable NiMH cells will give you roughly 300 shots.
