 - Okay, so soI have the camera for a few days and my experience is sos so okay. It is not spectacular nor great but bad either. The camera has a good interface on screen and the flash does its job once you have figured out working around some standard settings. The view finder is useless as it is the size of a pin head. Canon could have got rid of that feature. Thankfully the display works well, also outside in the sun. Picture quality is as you would expect of Canon. I wonder when Canon improves on the battery indication level as now it only shows up when it is almost time to recharge/replace the battery. When you are out on a trip that can be a bit of a problem. The alternative is to charge it every time you are coming home afte rusing the camera but that again is not good for the lifespan of the battery. I am keeping the camera as a second one next to my bigger and much better Panasonic8 that I do not want to drag around every night and day whilst this one fits in your pocket. Rating:  - Amazing camera!!!This camera is absolutely amazing!!! Highly recommended. We took over 300 pictures in Yosemite with this camera...the battery lasted several days. There was a lot of smoke in the air and the camera was still able to capture the true beauty of Yosemite. I'm extremely happy I went with the Canon over an Olympus. Rating: - People will tell you, "You should be a photographer." But really, it's just the camera.This is the best camera I have ever owned. It recently accompanied me on a trip to Israel and while the landscapes were amazing in their own right, this camera enabled me to capture every last detail on the fly. Bright blues, incredible textures. Unbelievable. I suggest actually perusing the instructions before using it (I'm generally not a big instruction reader) because it will help you understand the menu navigation--which isn't as simple as say a Kodak or Nikon Coolpix. But once you do understand the nav, you'll appreciate all the controls available to you. Not that you really need them. If you're a point-and-shoot person, but want to take "snapshots" that could be award-winning, get this camera. Also, be sure to get a memory card...at least a gig or two. You may not think you need that much memory now, however, you'll find that the pictures you take are so amazing, you want to take more and more. The "memory card" it comes with holds about six photos. Rating: - excellent product!the SD 850 IS is an excellent piece of technology.the pictures r sharp and the best thing is the ease of use.just off the shelf kinda use features...no complications at all!! a great buy! Rating: - Good Digital Camera for a BeginnerThis is my first digital camera. I have enjoyed using it to capture life here in the NW. I wish it had more options for zooming in but think you have to go to something larger & a new price range to get that. Does what it needs to do & easy to start taking pictures with for a real beginner like me.
