A review of the Canon Digital IXUS 850 IS camera has been posted over at Trusted Reviews. 'Launched just last month in time for the Photokina camera show, it’s a 7.1 megapixel ultra-compact with a 3.8x optical zoom lens and a 2.5in monitor, which would put it on the same shelf in the camera shop as cameras like the Pentax Optio T7 (£199), the Casio Exilim EX-Z70 (£179), the Sony DSC-W70 (£164) or the Olympus mju 700 (£163). However the IXUS 850 has a list price of a whopping £369.99, and even shopping around on the internet you won’t find it for less than £262.50, making it nearly £100 more expensive than some of its direct competition.'
