This guy is EXACTLY what my wife and I were trying to find when we were recently shopping for a new point&shoot digi camera. We looked at the high-end Sony model that took HD video and had an HDMI out, we looked at the Coolpix that had a nifty touch screen...what they were all lacking that this camera has is that it's truly a POINT and SHOOT. Quick shutter reaction, GREAT quality pictures (especially with Digital Macro mode...take a picture of a flower with that mode active. You'll like the results.), cool features like color isolation AND color replacement, small and compact and mobile. This thing is the perfect point&shoot digital camera for us, and I'm glad we were able to find it on ebay so we could make up for the one that was lost to us. We chose THIS camera, built and manufactured in 2007, over the brand new Sony CyberShot TX7. That sentence should be review enough. =DRead full review
Only 8 MP but it has high quality prints. Small camera with a very good build quality. So far battery life has been good with factory battery from a few years back when it was new. Good macro, good flash, and not hard to handle. They don't make them like this anymore.

I bought a new SD850 when they first were available. Great little camera that fits in pants pocket I like all aspects of the camera, easy to use, great LCD display, good review features, rugged, great picture quality. I lost the original last year so I searched eBay for another SD850 rather than buy one of the newer versions which I do not like. After several trys I found a used one on eBay that has same quality as original. Some of the used ones seem to have lost some of the picture quality of the original especially in the zoom video mode.

not the latest & greatest. this camera is everything the seller said. ease of use, display, small, lightweight, battery life, all an improvement. if i never buy another camera, this one will suffice. 8 mega-pixel image stabilizer and zoom lens. a non-pro like myself will be more than satisfied with this camera.
I bought a Canon SD-850 IS as my first purchase from e-bay. It was defective but I was new to e-bay and didn't see where the seller said so--my fault. I had it repaired and it came back fantastic! Sharp, great IS allows me to hand hold with little light, I can zoom while taking video, sharp video, very sharp photos, the optical VF helps in bright light. Negatives?....nothing major. Sure I'd like RAW mode and more manual control, but I have that in my excellent Fuji Finepix E900 and I used the Canon SD-850 more. Alas, the SD-850 IS was stolen. I bought another from e-bay and it was not sharp at all. I suspect there was a problem with the IS. I returned it as it was not described correctly. Based on the first copy, my bottom line is the SD-850IS is a great pocket digital camera and I'd like to find another one.Read full review
My job is to take photos of plants and this camera delivers, especially on close ups. Setting this camera to the "digital macro" setting will give you the results of a camera and lens that could cost over $1000 easily. You can literally take photos of things less than an inch from the lens and they come out crisp. All other features are average or better. It doesn't have many manual controls..but thats what other more expensive camera's are for. For a relativley inexpensive, small point-and-shoot, I'm impressed. If you can grab this camera for $150 or less, its totally worth it.
Great little camera easy to use and great functions I have the underwater case and it takes good pictures

Canon SD 850 This is one sweet camera. Having misplaced my original SD 850 I purchased a used one on EBay. The body is much more used than my lost camera, but this one shoots extremely well. Reason? I remember when researching many different brands and types I found that the size of the sensors is very important. Although cameras now come with huge MPs their sensors are generally much smaller than those in the SD 850. Oh btw, a week after I received my new/old acquisition I found my lost camera. Like another reviewer I keep this camera in my pocket all the time.
