Digital camera reviews of Canon PowerShot SD850 IS 8.0 MP Digital Elph Camera with 4x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom
Digital camera Review: So far so good
Summary: 4 Stars
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. :-)
