 Camera December 23, 2007
Canon makes good cameras. The only feature they do not include is a battery status indicator. The low battery indicator only comes up when the camera is about to quit. Suggest that you buy an additional battery.
Canon Powershot SD850 December 23, 2007
Excellent color, resolution and image stabilization. I was able to take photos hand held at a shutter speed of 1/4 sec. Relatively low noise at up to ISO 200. ISO 400 noise level and detail are good enough for snapshots. Because the camera is so small, controls are close together so care must be taken to not change settings inadvertently. In very bright daylight, the screen is usable for composing but you cannot see detail in it. In that case you can use the optical viewfinder. I would give it a 5 star rating if I could use ISO 800 at the same noise level at ISO 200.

I won't be super technical because there is already a ton of posts that give great information. I just got this camera and it is my first digital camera! I absolutely love it, it is small, the screen is big (2.5") and it isn't heavy at all. It doesn't use AA's so you need to charge your battery before you use it and when it get's low. That might be a problem for some people that like the convenience of just switching batteries in and out instantly. I ended up getting a 2GB memory card since it only came with a 32MB. I absolutely love the movie making option and the quality is amazing. Pictures are looking great as well, very detailed. On faces I can see almost every individual freckle. I'm still reading the manual and learning about all the things this camera can do. But I have to say, for a beginner, this camera isn't hard to use/understand at all. I am really enjoying it. It was a lot smaller than I had initially thought it would be, it's just a little bigger than my cellphone (a LG flipphone). Anways, great camera for newbies, I'm sure great for advanced users as well!
Great little camera December 21, 2007
I replaced an old canon A60 with this. I really wanted a camera with lots of manual controls and a superzoom, but my wife wanted something small to put in her purse. She won! I'm very please with this camera. All the pictures I have taken turned out really sharp. It does really well in low light conditions. I've been using the high ISO setting with the flash turned off to get nice indoor shots. Since I don't have to wait for the flash to recharge, I can fire off alot more shots this way. My only gripe is that my finger sometimes covers the flash. The camera is almost too small. It's kinda uncomfortable to hold and easy to drop. It's sturdy and well built, but I don't know how well it would handle a drop. I wish it had a charging cradle to sit the whole camera in to charge. It's a little bit of a hassle to take the battery out to recharge it.
Great camera with one flaw. December 19, 2007

The colors are fabulous, and the image stabilizer is wonderful. I can't speak for semi-pro photographers, but for someone like me that loves to take photos for pleasure, this is a good camera. The only complaint I have is that, as others have mentioned, this camera does not have a "wide angle" lens. I didn't really understand this until I started shooting. I have to back up quite a way to get a good shot of a large object (like a building front or a room). Compared to my Pentax Optio, the width of the shot seems very limited. I hope I'll get used to this with time.
On the other hand, I was shocked to discover how cheap accessories are now compared with what I paid two years ago. A 2 gb memory card and a spare battery for under $20? FANTASTIC.
Overall, I think that I got a good deal on a really good camera.
