Regarding indoor shots, don't expect miracles with SD800's image stabilizers. It's definitely better than nothing, but I am able to take significantly better looking shots indoors with non-image stabilized 17-40mm lens and XTi (set at ISO 400). That said, SD800 has very useful "image check" feature -- click DISP button after shooting to see 100% crop on focus point(s).
