Lens:
(lab shot) S850 has more corner blur. W80 has more barrel distortion. Both are OK.
(real world) both suffer corner blur, but in different corners. SD850 is only slightly worse.

High ISO mode:
(iso 400): w80 is blurrier, but not so that you'd notice at 1280x1024. At 100% zoom it's definitely noticeable, and at 50% zoom it also is, but not badly. Conclusion: it's a toss-up if you don't use the full camera resolution.
Real world resolution:
not much difference in full light, esp. if you don't use full resolution.

in moderate light, there still doesn't seem to be much difference.
Non-photographic issues:
CIPA: W80 340 shots, SD850 230 shots
Dimensions: W80 3.6 x 2.3 x 0.9 in., SD850 3.6 x 2.2 x 1.0 in. (W80 slightly smaller)
Rotation sensor: Yes, both have it.

Got some review on Canon 870 at http://hightechwebs.blogspot.com/
Basically there is a comparisons with Panasonic. It appears that canon give a cleaner image. And good low light performance.
