5 out of 5 stars 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.



4 out of 5 stars 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.



5 out of 5 stars We absolutely love this camera!!   July 3, 2008
This camera is the best bang for the buck!! The screen is large and the picture crisp! The effects this thing can do are amazing! You would pay $500+ for some cameras that do these things. I can't believe what we got for what we paid for this. Definately worth it. Since we've gotten it a few weeks ago we have only charged the camera once (when we got it) and it is still going ang going!


5 out of 5 stars fantabulous   July 3, 2008
This was an amazing camera. I love it and bring it everywhere. It is easy to use and i am familiar with canon cameras, so it was an extremely delightful transition to this camera. The pictures are often "better than real life" according to a friend. I like quick pictures but i also like quality landscapes or close ups for enlargement. This works perfectly for both.


1 out of 5 stars Beware the "WATER DAMAGE" scam   June 28, 2008
 3 out of 3 found this review helpful

How many of us Canon "Water Damage" victims are there, I wonder?

Like another reviewer, I purchased the Canon SD850 IS several months ago and have used it regularly. It suddenly stopped working - the lens would not retract. I sent it to Canon for service under their one year warranty. They decided that it would not be "economically feasible" (exact words) to repair the camera and have sent it back to me still broken. Canon "customer care" says that the technicians found "water damage" even though the camera was never around water and worked fine up until the moment it stopped. They even suggested I might have spilled something into it (no way) or perhaps the water damage was caused by going from an air-conditioned environment into a warm humid environment. Ridiculous! Don't most people vacation in warm places? If a camera stops working because it is in warm and humid environment, the label on the camera should clearly state - stay away from nice places!

So it seems that if Canon decides they don't want to repair a camera under warranty, they can just claim "water damage" and they are off the hook. No recourse for the customer, no appeal process.

If you are looking for a $300.00 disposable camera, this is it!
