People have said the following good things from various internet websites and vendors about this particular Canon Powershot Camera Digital: 'Red eye corrector auto fixes them. Image stabilizer great especially ify ou ahve shaky hands. Face detector: finds faces and auto sets settings and exposure to pictures taken. LCD screen is high resolution. Multiple choices for quality picture and color settings. Has viewfinder to reduce lcd screen or mask it. Auto white balance is significantly better than the old digic 2 version. Almost all options customizeable.'

People have said the following bad things from various internet websites and vendors about this particular Canon Camera Digital Powershot: 'Moderate noise on iso 200 or higher (cmmon amongst most cameras). Lens is wide angle enough but may cause a little distortion on short end of pictures/tube where straight lines, buildings, and walls are a bit curved. Battery and sd card door a little slide loose. Shutter speed and aperature not customizeable. Low battery indicator instead of a bar.'

Overall rating: 9 out of 10 excellent

Personal opinion: For the most part, very few sd850 complaints. On top of that, most complaints were about minor issues, such as noted above. The price is decent for a camera of this kind and definately delivers what you need out of a camera. Most users rating this seemed to be casual folks. If you're planning to take a vacation or trip somewhere and want to take pictures, most tourists who rated this said this is one of the best cameras they've used, especially when shooting through different weathers or environments (the camera can auto adjust settings whether you are taking pictures in Alaska or hawaii; different environments, even more different picture settings...).

Update 1: So far still not too many sd850 complaints. I did find one from amazon that complained about shoddy customer care from Canon who actually 'refused?' to honor the warranty on the SD850 (which is what the complaint was about). Warranties don't seem to cover damage due to water inside the camera (Canon basically said there was condensation inside the camera and wouldn't repair it because of it). I hope this is an isolated case but if not, know that there isn't a recourse for anyone who buys the SD850 and lodges a complaint or files for warranty repairs (not good at all).

Let's hope Canon has a response to this as people pay really good money for these cameras. (In fact, the sd850 complaint that condensation damaged the camera and therefore voids the warranty sounds ridiculous - canon should FIX it!!!).
