User Reviews for Canon PowerShot SD850 IS

  Duration of ownership: 2 Weeks

  Strengths: There is so much to be said for this camera. The lens is great, as is the battery life. Don't rely on the internal memory. SD memory is cheap thse days so buy yourself a gig or two. Most important for me is the durability and quality of contruction.

  Weaknesses: Not as many manual controls as I'd like. I tend to experiment with my photographs but this camera does fine for most of the pictures I take.

  Overall Evaluation: I was looking for a good replacement camera for my Fuji FinePix 3000. The camera case developed a crack allowing light leakage. Very strange as the camera was never dropped or abused. Anyway, this is a great camera. Unbelievalbly smooth prints without noise. Very little editing required prior to printing. This is a very flexible camera. This camera is light years ahead of my tired Fuji and doesn't require a suitcase to carry it around.

  Strengths: Easy to use, small, lightweight, beautiful photo's

  Weaknesses: None that I've found.

  Overall Evaluation: I bought this camera for my daughter's birthday and she said it was the best present I could have given her. Her last digital camera broke and she loves the SD850. We recently came back from vacation and the pictures came out beautiful. The camera is very user friendly. She likes that it doesn't take up much room in her bag and the small size. Another plus is that it has a battery pack instead of rechargable batteries. It's very easy to recharge. All in all, would highly recommend this camera.
