thanks.

I sent in on Friday and they SMS me on the following Tuesday. So probably takes them about 2 working days. But I wouldn't say that it's resolved as the bubbles are still visible on the silver ring in the optical view finder, just probably lesser in number...
 

seems that the current batch of 850IS has lotsa problems
 

850IS got no battery indicator.
so u guys bought an extra battery ?

or just charge after use ?
 

usually good to have a backup..... especially when u travel and don't have access to electricity during the day.
 

how much does the spare battery cost ?
 

My frind is using Ixus 50 (I think so). It does not have the bat indicater too. Maybe Canon does not include Bat indicater function for all the Ixus range.
By the way, Im planning to get one 850IS. Not sure should I get it before CNY or wait for the IT show in March or Canan Anniversary?
 

Just got my 850IS from bargain city today.
Comes with 2gb sd, 1gb sd, sd card reader, compatible battery and camera case..paid $699 for it.
 

Hi guys,

I am interested in the IXS850 too. Anyone know if it would be cheaper to get it in Japan? May I know if the 1GB SD card is a standard item that come with the purchase or is it sort of a free gift?

I know this is about 3 wks after you posted the question. My experience is that prices in Japan is cheaper, about 15% cheaper when I last compared the Ixus 500 some time ago.

A friend I met on that Japan trip, who worked for Canon Australia, was rather upset that his staff buy price for the Ixus 500 was higher (abt 20-30AUD, from memory) than the big Tokyo camera shop we visited.
 

Japan? Warranty how? Not sure if it's truly international.

From my experience, Canon gives 6 months full international warranty for their Ixus range (and perhaps their entire consumer and prosumer ranges) outside the country of sale. Assuming there is a service centre in the country you want to make a claim. Check with the retailer about procedure for registration and claim.

What is the brand of the SD card, compatible battery & camera case that bundled with this camera? Is it possible to snap a picture on these items? Since bargain city offered quite a good price and package, I feel like gettingthe 850IS.

They gave a KINGSTON 1GB and 2GB SD card.
Compatible battery is brandless, but MADE IN JAPAN.
SD card reader is like thumbdrive, long type.
Camera case I upgraded to the original IXUS case, toped up $10 for it.

Thanks for your reply :) ..... One last question, are they are the high speed SD Cards? Also, we are not able to redeem the additional 1GB SD card from Canon as shown in Canon promotion ads right?
