Canon IXUS 850 IS

Good – Overall i love it! It was a cheap camera that did the job for facebook photos & happy party snap shots. The only downside is the photos are getting worst & worst with time. Now all my photos come out orange and red eye. Upgarde time i think, but will always buy canon! :) Great for the price, takes fast photos, has face recognition, battery lasts… Read more

for agers (if fully charged), small & compact, easy to use options, large screen, great camcord (really high/good quality), universial data cable & easy upload process, takes a good beating and still lives (droppped at music concerts, got water & chocolate on it and still goes) Quality of photos gets worst with age of camera, no flash = no focus, crap landscape or motion pictures (only good for face snap shots), have to take battery out of camera to charge, red eye function crap, have to change to auto mode to turn the flash off.

Good – THis little camera fits in small purses and takes decent photos. Good flash, but no night time settings. The silver will scratch also, so get a pouch for it. The colour is good quality, pretty true, and if your crafty you can manage some decent shots. But the curved lense still gives it a 'fish bowl' effect when getting up close to peoples faces.… Read more

So just beware that small expensive cameras are never a substitute for an SLR. In the small camera range, this is a good little piece. Good for families that want happy snaps. Still not a great photo. The limited access to manual zoom and focus really doesnt do it justice.

Excellent – We bought this camera after testing numerous cameras of its range. Overall we find this camera easy to use & takes great pictures (for its range). Price is reasonable as well. Memory is sizeable. Battery is very durable - we went on a 12 day holiday & hardly have to recharge the battery. Interestingly, another reviewer said there was no low… Read more

battery indicator - this is not the case. The camera does have a low battery indicator. - easy to use

- compact

- takes great pictures

- nice design

- wide screen which we can view the image we want to take easily. Does not have glare like some other cameras have.

Good – overall i can depend on this slick and handy digital camera, the quality of photos are fantastic and the color blending is wonderful!!! took good pictures,pixels of canon are well enough to compare to other camera like i had before which is sony,very reliable and even the video is nice i hate when i review those photo that already been taken or… Read more

just taken because of you have to find settings that can figure out the size of photo and If your taking night shots without the flash most pictures are noisy unless you play with the manual settings a lot. Even then it is hard to get a very low noise level

Good – A great camera, very durable and reliable. The picture and video quality always surprise me. Takes better quality pictures then a 10MP camera I own. The fact that there is no battery indication really lowers its rating though, I would have given it a 5 star if it wasn't for this. Takes nice pictures. Used it many harsh environments and it almost… Read more

always took reliable pictures and is it very durable. The videos come out well for a digital camera. The view finder is a nice option to have. No battery indication is a major downfall. It keeps you guessing when the battery will run out. I keep some spare batteries to overcome this.

Excellent – What a great camera - so easy to use - compact and great as a Video Camera. I'd recommend the Canon to anyone without hesitation. I purchased the Canon Digital IXUS 75 for its wide screen and ease of use. I loved it so much that I purchased the IXUS 850 for my daughter and she's rapt. The only thing I find frustrating is the reviewing photos -… Read more

if I happen to pass one photo and wish to look at it again, I cannot find it by just going back by pressing once in reverse. I have to go through the whole lot again. Have I missed something.

Excellent – Great little camera - so many fun modes to be creative with too. I love mine. Great for the traveller, parent etc. Dont use my DSLR at all now I love the compact size and design of this camera. It is a go anywhere camera and fits easily in your pocket. The picture quality is extremely good (I have always bought Canon for the quality of their… Read more

lenses). The video mode also is very high quality for such a small camera It takes a little while to figure out the menus to change the settings. May be more of a challenge for people with a visual or physical disability

Excellent – For the price an outstanding camera. Easy to use, many different options, but leaving it on automatic almost always selects the best options to shoot in. Excellent quality photos, has an optical view finder

Excellent – This camera takes wonderful photos in all kinds of light and movement conditions. It is simple to use, and is well worth the cost. Light and compact. Excellent photo quality. Fast shutter time. One of the few digital cameras that still has an optical view finder, essential in extreme sunlight conditions.

Excellent – I love this camera. The quality is fantastic and I would highly recomend it to anyone in need of a good camera that fits in your pocket. Great photo's where good light is available. Or you can always use the flash!! If your taking night shots without the flash most pictures are noisy unless you play with the manual settings a lot. Even then it is hard to get a very low noise level.
