Canon SD850 IS vs Sony W80

clb

What do you guys think

W80 is like boosted with TONS of features...like fish lens filter, isolated colour filter, ISO up to 3200...WOW...
SD850...good pic quality, standard SDs, but i heard it's best to stay below ISO 800 when taking pix...

any comments?

dim light picture taking

so I went to best buy to play with the W80...and yes, just like every other reviews say...their menu is very unintuitive...heck, you'd think they have a trash button but no...u hafta go through the menu settings to delete a picture.

SD850.....and SD870 is very similar and I like the layout of buttons on the 870 better but one thing I found out when I saw the actual thing. It looks as if it's made out of plastic!   There were dents on the camera casing! Oh my...I'm surprised for a camera that costs ~350, its casing is made out of plastic.

So now....I'm like   in terms of what camera I want now........
The Nikon S51 seems nice but then it's only a 3x zoom

I don't like fuji because it uses xD cards..and we all know those cards are expensive

yeh it's a small thing but I've read reviews of the Fuji f40fd, no zoom when taking video clips? That's ...wow... I'm surprised that they can't do that!

actually I saw the boxing day sale flyers for best buy and future shop already... none of them have the cameras that I'm considering on sale 'cept the SD850 but I think I prefer the SD870 over 850 for the larger screen and wider angle lens. In any case I still haven't decided.

I looked at broadway camera, vision, blacks, and the source...all their prices are so much more expensive
