 Canon Poershot SD850 July 10, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I am extremely pleased with the quality of the images taken with this camera, as well as all of the "bells and whistles special features. I am not happy with the on and off power switch. It is hard to operate.
great little camera! July 10, 2008
I already owned a Canon Powershot S50, so I was biased
towards getting another Canon. The SD850 Elph is a
perfect little carry-around camera for vacations and
everyday use. It is really light, has a huge LCD,
and if you already know the weird Canon menus, then
it will be easy to use advanced features.
The macro mode (for super close-ups) is incredible.
The Canon SW is not very good, so I suggest Photoshop Elements
for any serious editing. Also, it comes with a worthless 32MB memory
card, which is good for 6 pictures (!). I got the A-Data
Turbo 16 GB SDHC card for about $80 and it works great, and way
faster than my old S50. Now I have room for 4496 pictures (at max res).
The battery seems to last a long time as well.
 Like the small size July 10, 2008
This camera replaced another digital Canon that I had purchased about 5 or 6 years ago. I wanted a smaller camera that I could put into my purse. But I also wanted a viewfinder. This model has everything I need. I love the size of the LCD screen. I haven't had a chance to take a lot of pictures but what I have taken has come out very well. The reason I'm not rating it with 5 stars is that I have had problems with the software installation of ZoomBrowser EX against the previously installed version. So I have not been able to download my pictures from the camera using the new installation of ZoomBrowser. I have not had a chance to call Canon Customer Support to work through the issues.
 Takes great pictures ... but beware the "Lens Error"!!! July 9, 2008

This is a very nice little camera with a lot of easy to use features, and takes very, very nice pictures for the size and price.
But buyer beware ... within just two weeks of buying this camera, it unexpectedly stopped working ... the lens cover would not open and the display simply said "Lens Error Restart Camera". Nothing would solve this problem, and the camera was completely non functional. This happened after only two weeks of use, and I did not mistreat the camera in any way in those two weeks.
Kudos to Amazon on their excellent customer service. They replaced the camera with no questions asked and made it very easy to return the defective one.
However, I am nervous and wondering just when the replacement is going to have the same issue. Google this camera and you'll find several other consumers have had the same issue, and Canon has been very reluctant to solve it.
Neat little camera July 9, 2008
Bought this to replace a Powershot A520. I love the big, bright LCD and the small size. I found a cheap case that still allows it to fit inside a shirt pocket. Never really used the manual controls on the A520 and wanted something smaller so I passed on the A570/A590 which had similar features. The only thing that concerned me a little was the proprietary battery after years of using AA-powered cameras. Haven't gone through the first charge yet so I don't know how many shots I will get on one charge. Haven't used the viewfinder either but it appears to be not very accurate, as other reviews had noted. I know I will like the higher ISO rating as compared to the A520. So far I am very pleased with the camera.
