Canon Powershot 850 II - Digital Cameras of 2008 - $100-$200 range
Today, I’m reviewing some digital cameras. I figure that the camera that I bought 3 years ago has served its purpose quite nicely. At the time, it was the only camera under $250 that had a 5 mega pixels capability. I’m willing to bet that the same camera that would have cost $250-$300, you can find today for under $200. And honestly, that is all I really need - something that has good color quality, a macro function, allows for video clips, and uses a nice size storage card (2GB or more would be good).
So after doing some research, here is 1 of 3 cameras I’m going to mention:
The Canon powershot SD850 can be found online at $190 up to $300 in price. I imagine the lower priced ones are refurbished. Honestly, refurb is fine with me, if its already a decent camera. The Canon Powershot SD850 has image stabilization, a nice feature I wish I had in my old Olympus. Also, from what I can tell, the colors are very accurate, and it takes excellent photos inside and outside. This camera has 8.3 mega pixels - an incredible amount, and the processing is extremely fast, and suitable for low light conditions. So far, I really like this camera.
