Reg Hardware reviews the Samsung S850 and found that the camera tended to eat up battery power pretty quickly. They also noted the camera lost the ability to maintain focus occasionally.
Bottom line: Nice photos, image stabilization works great but be ready to buy lots of batteries.

Digital Camera Review – 7/11/2007 – has reviewed the Samsung S850 and they write, “The Samsung S850 is a nice-looking, well equipped compact digital camera. It has the nice looks that the Samsung NV line brought to the market with black body, blue accents and quality construction. It also has a full complement of manual exposure modes that isn’t seen as often in point and shoots. The S850 is also my preferred compact camera form factor – something just a bit larger than an ultra-compact with a nice pronounced battery compartment/hand grip. Besides all this, the S850 has just average image quality, specifically blurry details and very oversatured color reproduction. Camera performance (shutter lag, shot to shot times) is just about average and battery life is good. It’s very hard to recommend this camera when it’s competing against cameras like the Canon Powershot A570 IS, which has a similar form factor, similar shooting modes, an optical image stabilization system, and face detection.”
CNET – 5/23/2007 – has reviewed the Samsung S850 and they write, “As one of the least expensive cameras with manual exposure controls out there, the Samsung S850 is a great choice for young or inexperienced photographers who want to step beyond simple snapshooting, without investing more than $250. While it suffers from flaws like slow shot-to-shot time, a narrow lens, and slight underexposing, you’d be hard pressed to find a better training camera for the price.”
