Customer Reviews
It would be 5* but for one failing. I've had this camera 1 year now. It's the Euro model [IXUS 850 IS] which is the same beast as the SD800. This camera was marketed as 'the serious photographer's side arm' & I think that's dead right. I've carried it with me pretty much the all the time, which is the whole point of owning it.
