good all purpose camera for both still and video clips at a very good price.

Average rating of 4/5Average rating of 4/5Average rating of 4/5Average rating of 4/5Average rating of 4/5 So far so good
I like the Canon PowerShot so far. The face detection technology is a little wonky: sometimes it grabs a face, sometimes it ignores a face and goes for something else. Image stabilization seems to help a lot, although I still get an occasionally blurry photo if I move a bit too much.

I am not wild about the port cover for the USB connection. It's very cheaply attached and will probably break in not much time. The included software (ZoomBrowser) is very good and transfers the pictures quickly.

Ergonomically, the camera is comfortable and I don't have any trouble with the on/off button. I agree that it's disconcerting to have the lens stay out while reviewing photos, but as long as you're careful it's not a big issue.

Overall, I'd give the camera an A-/B+. Indoor shots are still a little difficult due to overexposure with the flash, but this camera is still a huge improvement over my 7-yr. old Nikon Coolpix. :-)

We are happy with the camera. Gave it 4 stars because we haven't had the camera that long to play with.

Both auto and manual settings that make taking great pictures easy. Easy and straight forward to use. I previously had a simple point and shoot digital and I really like being able to have the manual control options with the Canon SD850. The colors are true, and can be enhanced by changing simple settings. I only found that some reds in certain lighting sometimes need a few changes in the settings.
This camera is packed with great features, and has a terrific software package.

I wanted a mid-grade digital camera. Something that would fit in my pocket, but take GOOD pictures. I did't want a cheap digital camera, but I didn't want an SLR camera. This is a good mix. I can point and shoot or use advanced settings to get the perfect picture. I can take it anywhere. The best of all worlds.
