Canon Digital Ixus 80 IS

The Canon Ixus 80 IS has a rather elegant and classy aesthetic appearance, due to its subtle colour contrast. It is quite slim and small, which makes it lightweight. Therefore, unlike other heavier models you would not strain your hand if you use the camera excessively for a long period of time. The lens has a 38mm to 114 mm zoom range which is not amazing in general, but it is acceptable for a camera in the compact market. However, if you regularly take photos of large groups of people or objects you might find that they would need move rather close to each other. Its 8 megapixel resolution, means that it would have no trouble if you do decide to print some ...  Read the complete review

I previously owned the Ixus 70 model, a camera that was produced in 2007 and which served me well until the day I accidentally put it through the 40 degree spin cycle of my washing machine (Ooops)! I was impressed enough by the Ixus model to feel, as a casual snapper who just wanted family and holiday pictures, that this model was all I needed in a camera. So I set about looking for the latest in the Canon Ixus range. I found prices varied to a ridiculous degree. This model is on sale in Argos for £146 and on Amazon for £199. I then went to the high street shop Currys where they had a range of cameras on sale which they described as 'old models'. Although the Ixus 80 IS ...  Read the complete review

I bought this after having an earlier version of the Canon Ixus range which i unfortuantly managed to lose and have been using it for around about 6 months. On initialing looking at the camera you will find it feels very nicely put together and the buttons are laid out to make this camera very easy to use. The screen on the back of the device measures 5 x 4 cm which gives a nice area to review your photos. The case itself has been subject to a few holidays and has coped very well although as you would expect it does show the scratches, more so on the shiney surface around the lens. The battery lasts a good time too and on a two week ...  Read the complete review

I bought the Canon IXUS 80 IS as a replacement for a somewhat feeble Pentax Optio M60. It acts as a fantastic demonstration of the mantra 'pixels aren't everything', since despite only boasting 8MP instead of 10MP, the Canon is a significantly better camera. To start off with the downsides; the IXUS 80 IS is very much a point-and-shoot camera, which in itself isn't a bad thing, but when this is coupled with a very limited range of default setting modes, it becomes slightly more problematic. The absence of a 'sport' shooting mode is particularly poor. Aside from this, the only other slight disadvantage could be the time between shots, which is 2 seconds at ...  Read the complete review
