Naturally, when you’re on the search for a great digital camera, the name Canon has a superb reputation for being synonymous with quality. This is a company that’s highly dedicated to their customers and continuously produces excellent products year after year.
The Canon PowerShot SD850 IS fits right in nicely with that reputation of excellence. This powerful 8.0 megapixel camera not only looks great at its exterior but performs brilliantly as well. With the SD850 IS you can produce highly detailed and clear prints with absolutely brilliant colors at a large 16 X 22 inches. Imagine the great photos you’ll have hanging in your home with this quality. Friends and family will be asking how the heck you got such great shots.
When you’re out capturing shots, sometimes the shooting conditions just aren’t right. Very often the shot that you’re after is quite a distance away and your chance of catching it is minute. With this camera and its powerful 3.8X optical zoom – which by the way is enhanced with image stabilizer – will give you a new confidence in almost any shot.
Now when your subject is across the field, you can be sure that you’ll get that memory stored for life without all the fuzz that often comes with long distance shots.
Here’s the great part! Once you do obtain those brilliant images, you’ll be happily viewing them on the ultra large 3.0 inch LCD screen that reveals a crisp, crystal clear reproduction of your shot right there on the screen. This gives you the chance not only to easily view and share the photos with others, but also doctor up photos that need a bit of retouching.
This also gives you tremendously easy access to the menu options so that you know clearly and concisely exactly what your next choice in shot mode is going to be.
I previously mentioned the fact that you may need to doctor up and retouch your photos a bit. With the Canon PowerShot SD850 IS you don’t have to worry about having to retouch scary red eyes on your subjects any longer being that the camera already has “in-camera” red eye reduction. Speaking of faces in your shots, you also get the blessing of having face detection technology with this camera. Now whenever there are people in the scenes of your shots you can be sure that they’re going to have natural skin tones and have their natural beauty enhanced.
There’s just nothing worse than taking a photo that seemed like it was going to turn out great – only to have faces blurred out, over exposed, or with a white out effect that makes them look like ghosts.
Even when the lighting isn’t optimal, you’ll have the opportunity to get the greatest of shots because of the highly sensitive ISO shift with this camera where you get an ISO 1600, which will ensure great lighting with every single shot you take.
You also get the good fortune of having a camera that is simple and easy to use, with plenty of options and opportunity to get great shots. With 17 different shooting modes there’s hardly a chance that you’re not going to find a mode to meet your situation, whatever it may be.
Modes such as: Portrait, Foliage, Snow, Beach, Fireworks, Aquarium, Underwater, Indoor, Kids & Pets, Night Snapshot, Color Accent, Color Swap, Digital Macro, Stitch Assist, and Movie File modes…
And with the DIGIC III Image Processor (which by the way is responsible for powering the Face Detection Technology) your camera will operate much faster, you’ll enjoy a longer battery life, and power up time will decrease greatly.
With the Canon PowerShot SD850 IS you can hardly go wrong. You’re investing in a great looking, sleek camera that’s small and light enough to take with you anywhere anytime. With 8.0 megapixels you’re photo’s resolution will be extremely defined and crystal clear. You’re going to be very glad of your decision to grab this camera.
