Quick review

The good
Great build, image quality as lower ISOs, responsive, easy to use, good metering and colour, nice lens focal range
The bad
Reduced detail due to noise reduction processing, Intrusive noise at higher ISOs, unreliable AiAF focus system, bodywork prone to scratching
Verdict
The IXUS 850IS offers some neat new touches and a million extra pixels, superb build, a nice wider-angle zoom lens and great image quality at lower sensitivities
