Canon Powershot SD850 IS Details

Editors' Comments

What more can be said about Canon ultracompacts? People love them, they're sleek, stylish, and chock full of great features. The SD850 IS is no exception. Building on the popular SD700 IS, the 850 retains the vital image stabilization that makes shooting clear shots with a small camera a breeze. On top of that, the 8 megapixel sensor will allow you to print photo-quality images in sizes up to 16" x 22". Printing, sharing, and transferring photos is made even easier by a cute little button that will hopefully alleviate some of the headaches and annoyances associated with moving your pictures from the camera to your computer (and beyond).
