 BUY THE SD870, MUCH BETTER THAN THE SD850 October 26, 2007
32 out of 59 found this review helpful
With the SD870 you get a fantastic Wide Angle Lens 28mm, Battery Meter so you will know when your battery is low (Not like the SD850 that has no battery warning indicator at all), 3" LCD Viewfinder that will blow your mind, lighter camera body, and choice of 2 colors (Silver or Two-Tone Black/Silver. I've already seen 5 people return their SD850 and get the SD870 instead. So glad I didn't make that mistake in the first place. After doing research for 2 months, the SD870 is the best Digital Elph camera Canon has ever produced. The SD800 was the best and this replaces that.

ON THE GOOD SIDE:
great lcd viewer, fast turn on and shot to shot time, superior video picture quality, overall great pictures in all modes....battery lasted a fair amount of time , but i bought a spare just in case....
ON THE OTHER SIDE:
kind of heavy for a shirt pocket, when selecting videos to be emailed the picture quality dropped significantly....
Excellent Camera October 23, 2007

This is my third digital camera and I'm amazed at how much better they keep getting. This camera's ability to shoot good quality pictures in near total darkness still impresses me. It boots up extremely quick and has excellent battery life. I would like the battery life indicator to be a bit more linear, it drops off pretty quick after it starts to show partial charge.
The picture quality is very good in the automatic mode with only a few situations requiring me to make some manual adjustments to get the image I wanted. I do wish there was a separate manual button for the flash so you could force it on/off without switching to the manual settings mode. My older Pentax has that feature and I find it useful. The movie mode works well capturing crisp smooth video.
This camera came highly recommended to me from other's who own various Canon SD models and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this camera to anybody looking for a pocket sized point & shoot with a variety of manual options.

I spent way too many hours researching which camera to buy. My first digital was in 1999 when I bought a Fuji. It finally fell apart. I figure I got my money's worth. Before the world of digital I had a Nikon. Although my Fuji was great it never equaled my Nikon. Nothing did until I got this Canon. I love it. My pictures are clear, crisp, and accurate. I have found it easy to use and adapt to.

I have had this camera for four months now, and I very satisfied. Previously,I owned a Sony W5 which was an excellent camera, fast(for a point and shoot) and took AA batteries. I next purchased a Nikon L5 and was very disappointed with it's ability to focus quickly in low light and very slow shot to shot time. I've used the predecessor of the 850is the 700 and was impressed with the speed of most function compared to both the Sony and Nikon. I was leery of the proprietary batteries, so with the purchase of the camera, I bought an extra battery and have yet to need it while taking pictures. It is a good idea to have the extra power pack in any event. If you start with a freshly charged battery,you probably won't need it. Picture quality is excellent and there are many modes available but the auto mode works fine for most instances. I love the ability to shoot video in such a compact camera. I own a miniDV camcorder but almost never carry it because of the extra bulk. With this camera, I can handle most of the situations I want to capture of my two and a half year old son. Manual modes are limited compared to a SLR, but this camera can travel unobtrusively anytime,anywhere. If you are looking for a digital camera with manual controls, this is not for you. If you are looking for a camera that can always be with you to capture those spontaneous moments, this camea will fit the bill. The image stabilization definitely helps but don't expect every shot to be perfectly clear.
