 good low light, fast, image stablisation January 5, 2008
Had a Nikon p5000 and a Casio before - this one is superior. I like Nikon SLR's but the sd850's image stablisation works well, hardly any blurry photos in low light. Can't see low light photos incredibly well but this is probably true for most point and shoots. Less noise than Nikon p5000. Would be interested in Ricoh but I'll stick with this one!
 Image Quality is so bad... Red eye in every picture.. January 5, 2008
5 out of 29 found this review helpful
Guys,
I am not Pro in this but I can see the images/photos and can tell you that this is not a GOOD camera. I am not sure I got the bad piece or this camera is like that. I have taken around 500 photos now and see half photos has red eyes. Even after IS, photos are so blurred sometimes.
And if you are taking photos in house with less light or in the evening, forget ur fotos.
Also if u got places where there is lot of light like Rockerfeller plaza I went to see Xmas tree. The fotos came so dull. After so much light around the flash went off and the pics are backinsh. When I manually did the flash off, the foto is better. I might be doin something wrong here or this is not the good camera. U DECIDE. But from my side , I give only one *.
 Excellent choice and price! January 5, 2008
My sister and I bought this for my parents for Christmas and they love it! They've been using a Canon S30 and now wanted something smaller for portability. The larger LCD screen is very nice, but I particularly got this model because of the optical viewfinder which my parents will sometimes use, especially when it's dark or something.
Personally I think Canon makes the best cameras, but I also considered a Sony (which my sister has). One reason that I chose a Canon for my parents is because it uses an SD card, not the memory stick that Sony uses. My parents can take the SD card and insert it into their card reader on their laptop and it will download the pictures right away. Also I hope to get them a digital photo frame and I know many use SD cards.
I thought the price for this camera was reasonable for the quality and options that I was getting. Amazon has the best price with no tax and free shipping! I remember cameras being more expensive, so to get such a good camera for $250 is worth it! If only I could get this camera too...
Side note: I just bought a Sandisk Ultra II 2gb SD card on eBay for $22.50 (including S&H + insurance). It hasn't come in yet, but I think it should work very well with this camera (holds many pictures, writes fast).
Two limitations of Canon PowersShot 850 IS January 5, 2008
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
(1/5/08) Recently I purchased this camera. While the camera itself is nice, other customers ought be aware of two significant limitations:
(1) As it ships the package only includes a 32 MB memory card. This is absurdly inadequate. To provide minimally adequate camera storage you need at least a 2 GB memory card. So unless you get a free memory add on , you must also immediately plan to purchase such an additional card.
(2) More serious is that the Canon camera memory card download interface appears to be incompatible with the Microsoft Vista Windows Image Acquisition software. This week I wrote and spoke with Canon support. Neither resolved the problem. Basically the only way in which I can access my pictures is via my older backup system, a Windows XP cpmputer. After some time Canon told me that others had reported a similar difficulty and finally indicated that the recommended solution was that I should purchase a separate memory card reader! While the additional cost would be minimal, that solution is quite inconvenient. It would require removing the camera memory card every time an image transfer is performed. Some solution.
(1/11/08 update) I just spoke with Canon customer care again, and again was told that the Canon Microsoft Vista USB port incompatibility problem could not be fixed. While the support person was courteous and knowledgeable, it was a waste of time. I was told that other Canon users with other Canon camera models did not have this problem. I said that that was not relevant to me with my Powershot Canon 850 SD. I had a problem and I had duplicated the problem on other MS Vista computers.
Awesome camera January 2, 2008
I haven't had this camera very long, but what times I have used it I am very impressed. I used to have a canon powershot, then sold it and purchased an Olympus, wasn't happy with that, but was recommended to purchase one of these Canon cameras due to the reviews all recommending them, so far I am very impressed, very nice looking camera as well and easy to use, particularly picked this model as it had a view finder.
