 Great camera. July 3, 2008
Oleg Rakhmanchik (New York, NY United States)
This is probably the best pocket camera on the market today. I have previously owned other many ELPHs, F50fd, F100fd (both terrible) and several DSLRs.
PROS
Well designed -- No weird power button issues SD850 has, flash is in the right place, great Canon interface, titanium feels very durable and light.
IQ -- Excellent image quality at lower ISOs, good indoor IQ, try to keep the ISO low indoors and disable Auto ISO shift as it jacks it up to 800+ everytime.
Battery life is good.
Uses the same sensor as G9, which is the best you can get on a non DSLR Canon.
CONS
12MP -- noise at higher ISOs, large files, slower writes, 8MP would have been great. This is really the one issue with this camera.
AF speed and flash recycle times could be better, but they are in line with most compact P&S.
Canon seems to be moving to 10MP and 1/2.3" sensor on all new ELPHS, which makes no sense as older SDs have better pixel density with the same Digic III processor. I would grab this one while it lasts.

 Amazing and well worth the price... June 30, 2008
R. Cettina (Portland, OR)
I got this camera for my birthday since I was in desperate need for one. All I can say is wow. I'm totally speechless when it comes to the quality and vibrance of the pictures. To see how the pictures come out when they aren't photoshopped or anything, check out my flickr account : Retro_Rush55x on flickr.com and see for yourself. This camera is well worth the money. Its easy to use, easy to hold, and takes the best pictures I've ever taken. Please put this camera at the top of your list when considering buying a camera!
Great camera without the shutter lag of prior models June 27, 2008
Harry Timko (Covington, WA USA)
This is a great camera. I really don't use the zoom when I use it for business. As a matter of fact, I wish the camera angle could go a little wider. But it works. Great viewscreen, and excellent color. What sold me on this one as opposed to the other models is the very short shutter lag. I learned from my old AS520 that I couldn't even take a photo at a slow moving parade because the shutter lag was so bad. With this one, I don't have to worry. The color of the photos is phenomenal even without the built-in enhancement modes. And the image stabilization doesn't slow down the camera.
The only complaint I have is when taking a photo at the widest angle, I see some vignetting in the viewfinder. But it does not come out on the prints or the viewscreen. So it's just an annoyance and not a hindrance.
I'm very satisfied with the camera. Heck, for the price, I better be.
Excellent camera and great quality photo! June 27, 2008
S. Mina
I just received this camera the other day and I already love it!!! It takes an excellent picture, great for creating large prints. It's small and compact. The flash works great too. You will not be disappointed.
Great camera- worth the money! June 26, 2008
RedMama (Golden, CO)
This camera is great! I love the small size and it takes really crisp, clear pictures with amazing color! I love it! It's really easy to use and the battery lasts a long time. I would recommend it to anyone who wants a small camera that takes great pictures!
