Canon PowerShot SD850 IS

Canon’s SD series, also known as the Digital Elph line, is an exercise in slow evolution. Since the company has hit on a very successful design, these compact point-and-shoots typically see only minor tweaks from year to year. This year’s follow-up to the popular SD700 IS is the new PowerShot SD850 IS. The main differences between the two include a jump up to 8.3 megapixels (from 6.2 megapixels) and the new Digic III image processor, which brings with it face detection and a higher top sensitivity of ISO 1,600 (up from ISO 800). The SD850 sports nearly everything you’d want in a point-and-shoot.

The only thing you might want to change would be the 4x optical zoom lens. The SD850 IS’s lens starts at an equivalent of 35mm and ends at 140mm. For a compact camera such as this, I prefer a lens that starts wider, such as the 28mm-to-105mm lens found on the PowerShot SD800 IS. The wider lens lets you fit more people into those group photos, or get closer to your subject, such as in a nightclub. Of course, we can’t really hold this against Canon in this case, since the SD800 IS basically offers everything the SD850 IS does, but with a different lens. So if you side with me in the lens debate, check out the SD800 IS. Both cameras include Canon’s very effective optical image stabilization to help keep your images sharp even if your hands aren’t very steady.

Canon PowerShot A580

it’s best not to expect too much from a budget camera: the 8-megapixel Canon PowerShot A580 exemplifies this philosophy. Sure, it’s got a clunky design, feels cheap, and doesn’t have all the latest features (in fact for about the same price or a little more you can get the A590 IS, which adds image stabilization). However, it does take great pictures for its class with minimal effort.

The A580 has a decent selection of Canon’s shooting technologies. It offers no fewer than 16 shooting modes, including seven special scene modes such as Foliage, Fireworks, and Aquarium, the latter for capturing images of indoor aquariums without a flash. In Easy mode the camera makes all the decisions, Manual mode gives full access to all menu settings, exposure compensation, and white balance. But most important, the A580 has a face-detection-and-tracking system that worked as promised, keeping the selected face in focus even as the person moved among other people.

Though it lacks the sleek design of a compact model, with its bulky plastic body and bubble-like curves, the larger body does accommodate features like an optical viewfinder, support for AA batteries, and a comfortable grip. But it does look and feel like a toy. It measures 2.6 inches by 3.7 inches by 1.6 inches–a little too big to fit comfortably in a back pocket–and it weighs 7.7 ounces. Fortunately the right-side handgrip is comfortable and just deep enough to securely wrap fingers around. It also houses the two AA batteries and the SD/SDHC card slot. At the front end of the grip is the shutter button surrounded by a zoom ring to control the 4x, f/2.6-f/5.5 35-140mm-equivalent (4x) lens. The lens is a touch wider and longer than its competitors.
