Pros: Compact size. High quality photos and video.

Cons: Expensive (but totally worth it)

The Bottom Line: A great basic digital photo and video camera, perfect for anyone but a must have for all parents.

Review: I started with the Canon Elph film camera, and eventually moved to an earlier model digital Canon. I recently upgraded to this newer model Canon digital photo and video camera for the improved picture quality and trememdous video quality. I am a graphic ...

Pros: Easy to use, takes great video too.

Cons: Kind of slick, easy to drop. USE the strap!

The Bottom Line: I would buy again... oh wait, I did.

Review: We really do have two of these, but my husband got in a bit of trouble for that!!! Even so, this is a great camera. I don't know how I would feel paying full price for it, but if you find it on sale or Ebay for a lower price it is a great buy. Two ...

Pros: Fast start-up, minimal shutter lag. Compact, solid feel.

Cons: Exterior finish damages easily. No manual controls.

The Bottom Line: A great, solid pocket size camera. Almost no shutter lag. Excellent battery life.

Review: I wanted something more pocket-size than my bulky Canon G6. The smaller it is, the more likely you will take it with you and catch photo opportunities you would otherwise miss. So far I love it and would recommend it. The SD850 is surprisingly heavy and ...

Pros: No delay, bright crisp pictures, big screen.

Cons: Get a case, it can scratch easily

The Bottom Line: I recommend this camera because of the quality of pictures and movies that it takes. It also has Image Stabilization so pics are never blurry.

Review: I had the SD700 IS and loved it, but ended up losing it or it was stolen..not sure. So I bought the SD850 IS since it had more mega-pixels and was the newest to replace it. This is the best camera ever. I have had an Olympus and Sony Cybershot and ...

Pros: Image quality is one of the best for this category of camera

Cons: if you take many pix's, consider moving on to a Digital SLR, which I am.

The Bottom Line: If you want a good camera at an afforadble price this is the camera for you. If you are looking for more tools then move on to a Digital SLR.

Review: The canon SD850is Digitial Elph is an amazing camera. It delivers when needed. This camera packs an 8megapixel shot in a small frame. It delivers a whopping 4x optical zoom, which is neat and rare for these type of cameras. It also has an image ...

Pros: Price, image stabilization, features and performance, 4x zoom, face recognition

Cons: Soft corners and chromatic aberrations at wide angle, no wide angle, red eye

The Bottom Line: I like the Canon SD850 IS overall. It has its issues with soft corners of the frame and chromatic aberrations, but it is a very good camera overall...

Review: Once the Canon SD850 IS appeared on the market, I developed a desire to get it. I have always liked Canon Digital Elph cameras. I liked the 5 -Megapixel SD450 and the 7 .1-Megapixel ...

Pros: Good picture quality

Cons: No wide angle, no manual controls

The Bottom Line: Good camera for traveling

Review: I have previously owned S100, S320, S400, SD550, SD700, SD890 and G9 cameras. SD850 was definitely one of my favorites in this line of PowerShots. In this review, I would like to analyze what Canon has advertised and what you actually get Canon add: ...

Pros: Image stabilization, picture quality, ease of use

Cons: screen is easily smudged

The Bottom Line: Get this camera for everyday use or special events. The picture quality and ease of use is excellent!

Review: I got this camera for Christmas. It turned out to be excellent. Its quality of pictures is very good. It is easy to use and your fingers do not get into the shots. My 4 and 5 year old cousins are even able to take good pictures. The wheel in the ...

Pros: Great photos at 8 megapixels, panorama shots, viewfinder

Cons: Awkward on-off and controls

The Bottom Line: I recommend this pocket camera for someone who wants to do more than just point and shoot. You're looking for a viewfinder, high pixel count, and small size.

Review: I moved up from a Pentax Optio S60 and while the SD850 has many more features, they are difficult to access in a long list of menus, and even the on-off button is a chore, located on the back next to the viewfinder. The main reason for changing to ...
