 Canon SD850 Elph Camera November 24, 2007
I've had this camera about 2-months and it's great so far. It is easy enough to use right out of the box and will continue to be a learning experience while dicovering all the features. The picture quality is great aside from my lack of photography skills. It's small, solid and by far faster than my 10-yr old digital Olympus which served its purpose well. I was VERY choosy before buying this one and the minor downsides worth mentioning are that there is no carry case and the SD memory card and battery will get you bye intitially. Plan on a larger memory card and additional battery or two which can reasonably be found online. Compare your prices with Ebay as a reference. Bottom line is that I still recommend this camera. I chose AMAZON because other online photo stores had offered the camera for $209 - $239 but it was a "bait and switch" technique. Beware of what you are buying from them. Fortunately, I discovered this before I was sorry. AMAZON has a better warrantee and guarantee.
 poor picture quality November 23, 2007

Purchased this camera as a gift for my mother. After reading and re-reading the manual (and not just the quick start manual - the full version) We were both very confident that we had a good grasp of the camera and the functions. We set it to super fine quality and the pictures are just not very crisp. In fact, they are hazy and in very soft focus - as if we had it set to the lowest resolution. Am very unhappy with this purchase. Perhaps this one is defective, though looking at the most recent consumer reports review of it they only give it a "good" for picture quality. Beware.
Zoom and IS awesome, flash is lacking November 23, 2007
Check out the picture I took with this camera of the top of the Stratosphere in Las Vegas while riding in a car at approx 65 mph. The zoom is amazing on this camera. I have had some trouble taking photos outside of lights at night (Christmas lights, etc.), especially at a distance; the flash is not powerful and will wash out the lights (which, btw, was my biggest complaint with my old Olympus Stylus 400, I still can't find a good one).
Love this camera November 21, 2007

I was wary of Canon because of a slow recovery speed on a previous Canon that the company assured me was working perfectly. It wasn't. But all the reviews said this model was very good and I agree. It's very quick to turn on and shoot as well as continuing to shoot. The on-off button should be larger and maybe located differently, but that is the only drawback I can see. The LCD screen is large and more visible in daylight than many others I tried. A viewfinder was a must for me, but I find myself using the screen as well because it is so clear. It's a pocket camera but has a nice weight to it. The photographs have been sharp and clear. The review and mode changes are at your fingertips and I especially like the icons which in some cases are HUGE so that I can see them without my glasses. I love that! All in all this is a very favorable review. Just get the best price from a reputable company.
