The Canon PowerShot S80 digital camera perfectly embodies the compact design and superior handling a high performance camera should have. The camera’s high resolution 8.0 megapixel CCD and wide-angle, high performance lens ensure spectacular images, and the extra-large 2.5″ LCD screen makes snapping and playback easy and fun. You can expand your snapping capabilities with optional Wide and Tele Converters and even an underwater housing.

DCResource.com has just posted a Canon PowerShot S80 Review and write-

“The S80 is a camera that straddles the line between compact and midsize, and its metal body is sleek and eye-catching. Build quality is good for the most part, though the door over the battery and memory card compartments could really use a lock. In addition, I’m not a huge fan of the sliding lens cover, as turning the camera on and off accidentally is a little too easy. And finally, I’m really not a fan of the new four-way controller, which is five buttons and a scroll wheel in one.

Beginners, enthusiasts, and tech geeks will all find something to like on the S80. If you’re just starting out you’ll be pleased with the camera’s selection of automatic scene modes and fancy movie mode. More experienced snapers will like the full manual controls the S80 offers, plus handy things like focus bracketing, a live histogram (finally!), and a custom spot on the mode dial. PowerShot S80 owners can also control their camera right from their Mac or PC by using the included software. And finally, nerds like me will certainly enjoy the way the camera rotates images on the LCD when the camera is rotated to the vertical position.

Even with its flaws, the S80 still offers a compelling package with its wide-angle lens, manual controls, and sleek design. It gets my recommendation, but it’s worth checking out the competition as well, as they’re also very good cameras.”

A very decent camera indeed.
