 Love it! July 9, 2008
I love this camera! I purchased it just before a trip and learned on the fly how to use it. It wasn't difficult to operate. However, having some experience with digital cameras helped. The manual was well laid out and I had no trouble finding the information I needed.
I love the stabilizing feature. I was amazed at the quality of the pictures taken out the window of our moving car. I was also please with the quality of the handheld pictures taken at night or in low light, especially of the 4th of July fireworks.
It is smaller and lighter than I expected and took some getting use to as my previous camera was larger and heavier. It sliped nicely into my pocket for convenience.
The LCD is large and easy to see. It also seemed to be easy on batteries. I was concerned I would need a back-up since I planned to be away from an area where I could re-charge for an extended period of time. However, that was not the case and I was very pleased as how quickly the battery did charge once I got back to civilization.
I would recommend this camera for anyone who is looking for a great point and shoot camera.
Great Point-and-Shoot July 8, 2008
This is a great point-and-shoot camera with some very nice features. Being that it's a bit older now, the price is definitely right. It has a small size (fit's in my pocket well), and feels good in my giant hands. The 4x zoom lens is nice, quick, and responsive. Paired with a 4GB SDHC card, I can shoot a ton of pictures and video. I also was able to load the CHDK firmware update which gives you more features (always-on battery meter, longer exposures, faster shutter speed, live histogram, zebra mode, scripting, etc.) One negative is that the beautiful finish seems to scratch easily; I put it in my pocket with a phone for a few hours and the front and screen were all scratched. I promptly ordered a Boxwave silicone FlexiSkin and screen protector (should have done this first).
zoom and a compact too! July 6, 2008

Not only is it small but zooms for close ups, love this camera.
Bought an extra battery just in case since you can't use typical AA batteries.
Fit my requirements for a powerful and unobtrusive camera!
Quite a little camera July 5, 2008

I have been very happy with the quality of pictures we get with this camera. We have owned 5 digital cameras now (my wife is efficient at killing them). This one is the best, and not the most expensive.
 A nice pocket shooter July 3, 2008

I bought this camera to replace the slightly larger PowerShot A720 that our family lost. The SD850 is worth the extra money for two reasons:
First, it's so small that it actually fits inside my shirt pocket. I don't have to carry it awkwardly in a belt holster.
Second, the flash delay is much, much improved. The A720 took forever for the flash to power up after taking a picture that I felt I was missing a lot of opportunities.
There's nothing really wrong with the A720. For the money -- about $150 -- it was a great camera. But if you value a smaller body and quicker flash availability, this is the camera for you.
