Conclusion
If someone was to ask me which digital camera they should buy for everyday snap shooting, I wouldn’t hesitate—the SD850 IS is the pick. It’s compact, light, easy-to-use, has optical image stabilization and—most of all—takes very good photographs. You can pick one up for around $350 USD and this should drift down slightly when the SD870 IS arrives for $399 USD in September. This new one has a 3.8x optical lens starting at 28mm and a 3-inch LCD (no viewfinder). Play with them both and make your personal choice between the two—you’ll see why Canon is the top dog in the digicam playpen.
Pros:
• Excellent picture quality
• Optical image stabilization
• Just a good all-around camera
Cons:
• Not geared for action photos
• Poorly positioned power key
• Slow cycling with flash
