Disadvantages: have to purchase extra storage media while not good in moist conditions

well, you may call it a picture perfect as i dont feel any problems with its output. With its compact size and metallic silver color, it hardly even annoys you with its weight. that's why i call it picture perfect. With multi- options for focus, brightness, flash, zoom, hotness, colors (with few colors) it allows you almost all possible tweaks with in. Make sure you have fixed the red eye though. Being a layman photographer, i often use this device ...
...and by reducing the photo/video resolutions, you can utilize the small space for more stuff. I am very particular about the colors in my photos this product do all justice in that department. Its body is very capable to handle all wear and tears though its sensitivity for water (rain) is a serious drawback to me. Battery life is good enough for a day trip and its controls/screen are capable enough to handle this small little tool. ... Read review

Advantages Quality of pictures, build and screen
Disadvantages No battery level indicator!

...Having been a fan of the Canon Ixus range (and previously owned an Ixus v2 and Ixus 700) I was particularly impressed that Canon had finally put together a specification package in one camera which ticked all the boxes. The screen size and resolution is superb as is the face recognition focusing. The main problem I found with the Ixus 700 was the quality of low light (mainly outdoor evening) shots. This has been greatly improved with the introduction of ISO 1600 and image stabaliser which makes the previously problem shots an ease and a joy. My main gripe with the camera is one that is common on all Canon's that I know of - no battery life indicator. Surely this is not an impossible addition - other manufacturers manage it afterall. In general I have not been disappointed by any aspect of this camera since I bought it 3 months ago... Read review

Advantages Picture quality, Syle, Wide Angle lens, Image stabilisation. 7.1 Mega pixel
Disadvantages Red Eye, Centre Spot Fucussing

...I wanted a compact digital camera offering quality lens, ease of use, wide angle capability, image stabilisation and above all good picture quality with enough pixels to allow cropping and enlarged picture size of 16x12 inches. Research boiled down to two contenders, Panasonic FX50 (just replaced with their new FX30 range so price may be dropping soon) and the Canon Ixus 850is. Of all the reviews I read I could find little to choose between them so trip to local shop to see first hand. Whilst I liked the 3 inch viewing screen and Leica lens on the FX50 my personal preference was for the Ixus as I found it much easier to hold and having previously owned an Ixus 400 was marginally biased in that direction. Holding the 850 just confirmed my choice. I chose AllCam to supply because of their near 100% customer satisfaction record... Read review

Advantages Design, Userfriendly, Image Stabilisation
Disadvantages none so far

...General I bought this camera in the summer (07) especially for my holidays in egypt and i was more than satisfied with the performance of the camera. The quality is very good especially for normal users (i.e. family); professionals might have a different opinion; Not only the size but also the user friendly interface are clear benefits of this camera. Quality I took pictures in the sunniest conditions and in bad weather conditions. Both conditions do not really have a influence of the camera as it still delivers great quality. The only problem I had was taking picture in the night which is a problem with almost every camera. I always used the pre-set options, but after trying our some manual setting I realised that the camera has got even more potential. Give it a try - experiment at the beginning a bit and soon you will... Read review
