Simple and Easy with great photos too
I've had this camera for a couple of weeks now, its fantastic. Its simple to use and the pictures come out great. I'd recommend this to anyone looking for a point and shoot in this price range.

Good Point and Shoot
I have a Canon G6 which I love. However, I wanted something I could carry in my pocket so after some research I picked the Canon SD850 IS. I took it on a cruise with me so I could always have it with me. I took a lot of pictures with it and can say that outside in daylight it takes great pictures. Maybe even better than my G6. However, inside and in situations where you need a flash it leaves a bit to be desired. First the flash is on the upper left hand corner of the camera so it is easy to block the flash with your finger when taking pictures. Also as this is a smaller camera the flash is limited so don't expect any great pictures at any distance. The flash is just not strong enough to cover much area. Bottom line: I am satisfied with the camera. It serves the purpose that I bought it for. It a great point and shoot pocket camera with some good features on it. If I am going on a photo project I take both cameras in the event I need a good flash.

Inexperienced User
I bought this camera before a trip to London. It has many features and icons that are a little overwhelming for a person who is looking for a point and shoot camera. Mainly I set it on auto and used it without the various bells and whistles available. The pics were good - not great - and seemed to be a little on the dark side. Maybe if I knew how to use it to its fullest capcity it would provide better photos. One other comment - the zoom dial is very senstive and sometimes difficult to get the precise range you are trying for.

Nice little point-and-shooter
I love the video mode, captures clear and smooth video to be displayed on YouTube. Not trying to compare to videocam here, but its video capability is just enough for web broadcast. The auto mode is suitable for just about everything. Occasionally, needs to switch to manual mode to capture low light close up shoots. The scene/indoor mode is great for taking pictures at home. The "kids/pets" mode not very useful. Keep an eye on the flash when using scene mode, the auto setting might be too much light. The zoom is just 4x, enough for daily use but not great if far away from object. The battery life is excellent, been taking way too many pictures or videos and never run dry.
The print outs are great, I have an Canon IP5000, everything is ver detailed and correct balance of color, and face is not too warm.
If you just want something easy to use and don't have time to adjust exposure ....etc, this is a great camera.
