Canon PowerShot SD850 IS 8.0 MP Digital Elph Camera with 4x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom

This camera is a gem. The stills are wonderful, but the real thrill lies in the video. It is so clear that it seems as if one is viewing an actual movie. The only disappointment is that there is no zoom while in video mode. I appreciate the optical view finder as well as a large lcd screen. The small camera body is good for slipping into one's pocket or purse, but it is a bit slippery and takes some getting used to to hold on to it.

This is a solid camera, just holding it you can tell that it's not flimsy. I even dropped it once right on the extended lens and it still works fine. The optical zoom is great, image stabilizer is nice too. All around great camera.

This is an all around quality camera. For any amateur photographer who wants to take great pictures while having the ability to change some settings manually, this is what you are looking for! I am enjoying every new opportunity to take photos with my new camera!

... yard waste container, and it remained there for five days, surrounded by damp grass clippings. It was pretty damp, too when I rescued it. I removed the battery, opened the doors, and sat it in front of a fan for a day. It works fine. The LCD has a faint waterstain on it, but that may be fading. It's quite usable, regardless. Well-built gear.

It's a very good photo camera. Films a great too, considering it is a snail camera.
The only thing to complain is that some people may find it a little tricky to operate.
