Canon PowerShot SD800IS Digital ELPH/IXUS 850 IS is a point-and-shoot digital camera featuring 7.10 effective megapixels CCD sensor, 3.8x optical zoom (28 - 105mm equivalent), Image Stabilization, ISO of up to 1600, 30 frames per second movie mode and Digic III processor. and a 2.5- inch, 230,000-pixel, color TFT LCD screen.The camera is measuring in at 89.5 x 58.0 x 25.1mm (3.5 x 2.3 x 1.0?), weighing 150.0 g (5.2 oz), and running on Lithium Ion NB-5L rechargeable battery.

The PowerShot SD850 IS Digital ELPH is a digital camera that will really get your creative juices flowing. It starts with a high resolution 8.0 Megapixel CCD, a 4x Optical Zoom with Canon’s exclusive UA Lens and an Optical Image Stabilizer for steady zooming. There’s also a DIGIC III Image Processor with Face Detection and Red-eye correction, an ISO 1600 setting for sharper images in low light, six Movie Modes and a 2.5-inch PureColor LCD with scratch-resistant, anti-reflective coating for easy viewing.

The SD850’s Optical Image Stabilization provides up to three stops of camera shake correction in shutter speed equivalent. When combined with the top ISO rating equivalent of 1600, 8-megapixel image sensor that further reduces image noise, and the fast f/2.8 4X optical zoom lens (35-140mm equivalent), the odds of taking a shaken or blurred image are dramatically reduced.

The good: Great performance and image quality; solid image stabilization; face detection.
