PowerShot SD850 Highlights
4x optical zoom in action Advanced 8.0-megapixel Digital Elph with 4x optical zoom and exclusive UA lens Count on the PowerShot SD850 IS Digital Elph for images that will make you say "wow" every time you shoot! Equipped with a high resolution 8-megapixel CCD, this Digital Elph is just what you need to capture life’s greatest inspirations as you’ve always wanted them. You’ll get every exquisite detail in dazzling, eye-popping color. And you can print big. Plus, the SD850 IS Digital Elph is equipped with a 4x optical zoom that features Canon’s exclusive UA lens with ultra-high refractive index glass to enhance your pictures while significantly reducing total lens size. Just imagine the possibilities!
Optical Image Stabilizer technology for steady, long zoom shooting Life doesn’t give you second chances to capture special times. That’s why the elegant PowerShot SD850 IS Digital Elph is equipped with Canon’s acclaimed Optical Image Stabilizer Technology that automatically detects and corrects camera shake -- one of the leading causes of fuzzy or blurred shots. So now even when you’re zooming in tight you can get the steady, crisp, brilliant images you’ll be proud to shoot and share. And Canon’s Optical Image Stabilizer Technology is so convenient to use. Just turn it on, it functions perfectly with or without a flash.
DIGIC III Image Processor with improved Face Detection Technology and Red-eye Correction With DIGIC III, you get images of superior quality, the camera functions at top efficiency and battery life is significantly enhanced. What’s more, DIGIC III enables Canon’s newly improved Face Detection Technology and Red-eye Correction to give you better, more true-to-life people shots. Simply press the Shutter Button halfway down, and the PowerShot SD850 IS Digital Elph automatically pinpoints the faces in the scene and chooses the ideal focus point. To keep every face looking bright and natural -- without scary red eyes -- the camera controls exposure settings and flash, so every shot is just what you were shooting for.
Find multiple faces with Canon's improved Face Detection technology DIGIC III features Face Detection AF/AE, which finds multiple faces in the frame and sets the most suitable focus point, when the shutter button is pressed halfway. And an additional new feature, Face Detection FE adjusts the flash, based on a person’s face on the screen. Exposure and flash are controlled to ensure proper illumination of both the faces and the overall scene, eliminating the common problem of darkened or overexposed faces.
Red-eye Correction detects and automatically corrects red-eye during playback for both regular and flash photography. In unusual cases where red-eye is not automatically detected, it can easily be corrected manually during playback mode.
iSAPS technology is an entirely original scene-recognition technology developed for digital cameras by Canon. Using an internal database of thousands of different photos, iSAPS works with the fast DIGIC III Image Processor to improve focus speed and accuracy, as well as exposure and white balance.
Vivid, high-resolution 2.5-inch PureColor LCD The camera’s 2.5-inch LCD screen gives you the big picture, whether you’re shooting, reviewing or showing off your images. This extra-durable, high-resolution screen with tough scratch-resistant coating on the anti-reflective, PureColor LCD screen offers a crisp, clear picture to make shooting, playback and using the camera’s menu functions especially convenient. Clear and bright, it also features Night Display for easy viewing in low light.
Sensitivity range expanded to ISO 1600 The PowerShot SD850 IS Digital Elph features new ISO 1600 and High ISO Auto settings that reduce the effects of camera shake and sharpen subjects in low-light situations, giving you greater flexibility for shooting.
ISO 80 v. ISO 1600 Creative Light effects, and five movies modes A new Special Scene Mode "Creative Light Effects" brings you a new pleasure of capturing night scenes! You can select ant effect before shooting, then it transforms background bright spots to stars, hearts, music notes and more.
Shooting movies have also five options. With a highly flexible movie mode, you can create the movie that’s perfect for any application. Select from VGA (640 x 480 pixels) and QVGA (320 x 240 pixels), with frame rates of 30 fps and 15 fps for recording up to 1 hour or 4GB. Also choose from Fast Frame Rate (QVGA; 320 x 240 pixels) recording at 60 fps for up to 1 minute, Compact Movie Mode (QQVGA; 160 x 120 pixels) recording at 15 fps for up to 3 minutes, and Time Lapse (640 x 480) recording at 1 or 2 sec. intervals. The PowerShot SD850 IS Digital Elph supports the USB 2.0 Hi-Speed standard, so you’ll enjoy the fastest possible data transfer speeds when using a USB 2.0 Hi-Speed compatible computer.

This camera is amazing. It takes quick pictures, and the preview shows how great the pictures can be. The colors are rich and the face detection is right on. I found it funny that the camera was detecting the faces on the T.V. when we took it out of the box and was trying to learn about its many features. Another good plus for this camera is that it eliminates red eye. My wife loves to take pictures and she sighs when she develops her pictures and everyone on the pictures look like red-eyed vampires. Thats a thing of the past with this camera. The camera is a fast loader so be ready when you turn on the camera. It is very quiet and I was looking for the noise that many reviewers had written about. When we took pictures, it was quiet as though it had a silencer. Also many people had stated that it takes a long time for it to snap a shot. To us, it was quick and the shots were amazing. The options on the side of the camera (the dial- previewing pictures for example) and the power button as many people felt was a nuissance didn't bother us. Both are in good spots and our fingers never hit them accidentaly. The life of the battery was certainly longer than we thought. We had it on for a few hours and it was still running. Our former digital camera was a nightmare. After an hour it was already down to one bar. We didn't mind that the power meter wasn't present on the very sleek and sexy 2.5 LCD screen. I guess we were scared to look lol. Too many, i would think that the most important information on the viewscreen would be how many pictures you can take and their quality as well as the preview od the picture.
My wife is not a profesional photgrapher but she loves taking pictures. It ranges from sunsets to weddings. The pictures are outstanding and her family are amazed at how great the pictures look and come out. To us, there are no "cons" for this camera. We are delighted and anyone who likes taking pictures and is in need of a new camera, this is a fantastic one.
Amazon was terrific also. Right after I placed the order for this camera, the price went down and Amazon gave me a refund on the price difference. I also ordered it right before July 4th, so I did 2-day shipping (Ordered it on July 1st). To my amazement it actually arrived the next day. What other place can you order a product, click 2-day shipping, pay for 2-day shipping, and you end up getting it the next day. Not bad for overnight shipping and next day delivery. I was so shocked, we weren't even home when it arrived 9the first attempt). Even though Amazon has to charge tax in NYS, there prices are low, very helpful, and you get your merchandise much earlier than it says.
-the SD850SI is deffinately a step up in it's time with the 8 megapixals. but all the freakin features too! red eye correction, face detection, THE DIGICIII processor. the many automatic presettings. and the best thing i love about it is the MACRO SETTING!! theres to ways to use it, theres the little dial on the navigator control to select between macro and infinite setting BUT!! the in my opinion the best is to go into MANUAL MODE and select macro from there. it might not seem like a difference, BELEIVE ME! OH THERES A DIFFERENCE. another great feature of the 850, similar to the 600. (and this is very convenient) is that it quick and easy to review your pictures from an OFF setting. you can select the PICTURE REVIEW ICON and go stright to the pictures with out having the lens pop out than selecting review. that saves battery life too!!! MY NEWER CANON S95 DOESNT HAVE THAT FEATURE!! I HATE HOW THE LENS OPENS IF YOU JUST WANT TO REVIEW PICTURES!. CANON THOUGHT ABOUT THE customers on the 600 and 850.
-also the VIDEO is GREAT!! 30fps! that's a good deal! shoots good footage! (if your good enough, HA) and with the video you can shoot in many settings of WHITE-BALANCE like in still pictures, change the speed and quality of the shooting. it has fast moving mode! which is awesome(but beware the quality does reduce on that one). COLOR ACCENT!!! COLOR SWAP! YEAH! now this isnt 1080P to mind you! if you want to shoot professional! GO BY A CAMCORDER!!! GEEZ people these dayz.
-okay also just to let you know how great this camera was! and still great to this day! it's aug, 2011 right now and this baby still has it! so good, i purchased 4 of these. well one i broke when it fell. another i lost. and i just bought two to back me up. i didnt like the other sd's, 800 870, 1000 1200 1400. yeah. didnt serve my needs.
-OH YES AND ANOTHER GREAT FEATURE WHICH I DISCOVERED A WHILE BACK, IS THAT THIS CAMERA IS COMPATIBLE WITH HD CARD (high defintion), HC CARD(high capacity cards), XS CARDS (extra capacity cards or whatever). top quality memory cards!! HOWS THAT!!! BAM!
the only flaw i have with this camera is, well i grew up in arizona, and i'm sorry to say this camera isnt SANDPROOF, i got a little sand in the lens zooming lens area. BUT NOOTHING IS SANDPROOF! not even camping tents!! WELL ENJOY HAHA!
-well to upgrade into todays society i bought the CANON S95- BECAUSE IT HAS A 2.0F-4.7F LENS. GREAT FOR INDOORS, BUT OVER THAT STILL USE MY SD850 FOR MANY THINGS!!
CANON SD850IS CAMERA IS AWESOME!
