both should perform almost the same. but 850 starts from 28mm from the wide end where esle 800 is 35mm. that depends on your preference. i personally like the 28mm wide angle. very handy. poor iq due to resize. give me your email if you want the actual file.

Now the best place to buy the 850IS is at bargain city rite ?
At $699:

- FREE 2 Gb SD Card
- FREE Extra 1 Gb SD card

the only drawback for 850IS is that it does not have a batt indicator
