Small, fast, versatile and takes great pictures!
Nice job, Canon. This is my second digital camera. My previous one, a G2 bought back in 2001, is a monster compared to this slick little feller. The camera will easily fit in most pockets, pants or shirt, weighs a few ounzes, and is very stylish. Time to first picture is about 2 seconds...very fast little camera. The controls are well placed, and reduced to a minimal, or rather optimal, number.

Terrific point and shoot! Excellent Zoom, excellent camera!
I just returned from safari and climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro with this new camera. My wife took a SLR with multiple lenses, filters, and gadgets -- I took this Canon SD850. We compared safari photos, portraits, landscapes, and zooms of animals -- the difference was negligible in quality. But with the simplicity of the SD850 and its powerful zoom, I was able to capture several quick shots that were impossible with the SLR.
