"Good Camera. Solid Performance...but there is a little lag!"
Pros: Sharp photos. Nice features.
Cons: A little slow on the "shoot" button
Summary: I recently purchased a SD850 and then sold to get the SD950. Having had both in my possession, I do not see a tremendous difference between a 12MP & 8MP photo. I do notice the photos with SD950 are a tad bit sharper. Other than that, the features are pretty much the same. I do admit, the CNET review regarding the lag is true. The SD850 is a little more response on the "shoot" than the SD950. There is just a bit more lag on SD950. I guess I notice it more b/c I shoot my children and when you try to get THE SHOT...that fraction of a second does make a difference. If you are looking at the SD950 v SD850...I'll say the performance and features are pretty much equal with the exception of the lag. The SD850 does comes with creative light effect which the SD950 does not (if you care). Again...the SD950 photos are a tad bit sharper. So depending on your budget, wants and needs. I don't think you can go wrong with either camera.Updated
Just a little note. I posted my review yesterday and received a Sandisk Extreme III SD card. It pretty much did away with the lag of the SD950 that I spoke of in my review. For $30-40 dollars...I highly recommend picking up a better memory card (I used 2GB). Continuous shooting was double the speed than my 1GB regular Sandisk Memory.
Just thought I'd add that little update.
Also---I did purchase from e-cost dot com. They were selling for $403.00. Nice smooth transaction. Check it out!
