Summary: perfect purchase!
Comment: I love this Canon Camera! I had an old Kodak camera, while it was okay, it didn't have the bells and whistles that I needed. I wanted to get a camera with a view finder yet had a big LCD. I decided on a Canon, because I heard it was the best brand to buy. Though there is a lot of things I had to learn about the camera I had a pretty good feel at what the camera could do after a few days.

I really have enjoyed the video capabilities of my SD850. The quality seems to be just as good as any video camera. It definately is 100x's better than my old Kodak. The megapixel is not as important to me, because I don't plan on blowing up pictures to poster size, but its nice to know I have that option.

I've heard complaints about the power button, but so far it hasn't bothered me. The one thing I like my kodak better was the ability to review my pictures without having to move a function wheel. I'll eventually get used to that. Other than that I'm completely satisfied with my new camera.

If you are looking for a great point and shoot camera the SD850 I would say is the way to go. I like the compact size. It fits right in my pocket and the weight is just fine.

One more thing, the LCD is so clear I absolutely love it!!

Summary: Awesome camera
Comment: I haven't had this camera very long, but what times I have used it I am very impressed. I used to have a canon powershot, then sold it and purchased an Olympus, wasn't happy with that, but was recommended to purchase one of these Canon cameras due to the reviews all recommending them, so far I am very impressed, very nice looking camera as well and easy to use, particularly picked this model as it had a view finder.

Summary: Excellent choice and price!
Comment: My sister and I bought this for my parents for Christmas and they love it! They've been using a Canon S30 and now wanted something smaller for portability. The larger LCD screen is very nice, but I particularly got this model because of the optical viewfinder which my parents will sometimes use, especially when it's dark or something.

Personally I think Canon makes the best cameras, but I also considered a Sony (which my sister has). One reason that I chose a Canon for my parents is because it uses an SD card, not the memory stick that Sony uses. My parents can take the SD card and insert it into their card reader on their laptop and it will download the pictures right away. Also I hope to get them a digital photo frame and I know many use SD cards.

I thought the price for this camera was reasonable for the quality and options that I was getting. Amazon has the best price with no tax and free shipping! I remember cameras being more expensive, so to get such a good camera for $250 is worth it! If only I could get this camera too...

Side note: I just bought a Sandisk Ultra II 2gb SD card on eBay for $22.50 (including S&H + insurance). It hasn't come in yet, but I think it should work very well with this camera (holds many pictures, writes fast).

Summary: Wonderful!
Comment: I just got back from a two week trip to Spain. Took 646 images with the SD850. Color, focus, and ability to handle tough light situations was amazing. Sharp, vivid pictures. Could use a few more special situation profiles and it was a pain in low light to turn off the flash every time I turned on the camera, but it was a hit with everyone in the family. About all you can hope for in a compact handheld.

Summary: Excellent Camera
Comment: I shortlisted this camera based on the good reviews that I saw for this product on various website. I purchased this camera recently. After using this camera, i feel that it is worth the money that I spent on it. It is indeed a good camera, takes excellent pictures. Though with zoom functionality, the noise in picture increases. An excellent feature of this camera is to use its manual mode for difficult picture situations.
