Canon Ixus 80IS Digital Camera Reviews

www.cameras.co.uk writes" Ease of use rating: Good. You will find plenty of other pocket cameras that are easier to use than the IXUS 80 IS. It is simple enough if you want to use it in fully automatic mode, but there are some useful effects and features worth digging a bit deeper for.

Points I like:
Style - build quality - picture quality - viewfinder

Where it could improve:
Other pocket sized cameras now offer more zoo

Trusted reviews has a good write up with good images of the camera . "This is a camera designed to appeal more to the fashion conscious than the connoisseur, and as such it serves its purpose. It's well made and very attractive, but is at the lower end of the IXUS range in terms of specification, features and price. Image quality is passable but I sometimes feel manufacturers try to impress too much with the gimmicks rather than get the fundamentals right first. The IXUS 80 IS is a case in point"

Insidehw.com had this to say about the Canon Ixus 80IS " Canon IXUS 80 IS is contemporary and compact camera with all functions that can be useful to an amateur photographer. On lower ISO values, mainly up to ISO 200, quality of photos is very good while 8 megapixels gives user enough space for creative photo cropping. Camera is robust enough to be carried in pocket or bag so it can always be ready for action. From moment when you press power button, time needed for camera to be ready for action is less than 3 seconds.

This is great camera for “serious” amateur photographers that appreciate their holiday and family memories. Since summer is right behind the corner, if you are searching for new camera, you should take Canon IXUS 80 IS into serious consideration."
