Im loving my Canon S5IS. Yes it's not a really expensive camera but I love the functionality with it.
From personal experience I've found even 400 ISO grainy so yeah I'm not surprised at 800. You've done a good job of saving it though and I love the DOF in the background!

I had to use the kit lens for this ... it's like using a beer bottle for a lens: blurred and aberrated to hell and back. Also it shakes when focusing, huh.
