Canon IXUS 80 IS

Great point and shoot! – - Great point and shoot camera for only a couple hundred dollars - Problems focusing though, I had the higher version and it could point and shoot great pictures, however this camera requires you to hold the button half way to focus and then shoot - A number of pictures turn out quite blurry as a result of this - Durable though and the battery last a long time Durable, reliable, long battery Requires time to focus, blurry pictures

Terrible – I was so unimpressed with this Canon I gave it back and bought a Panasonic, which actually feels like it was put together by someone what takes photographs, unlike the Canon, which looks like it was designed and constructed by the marketing department without any input from engineering. Small. Light. Cheap - but more expensive than better… Read more

offerings from rivals.

Available in a range of funky colors, if that is your thing.

Takes pictures (barely). View finder is a joke it is so small.

No hand grip, so no really secure way to hold it.

Under powered flash.

Negligible build quality (that is, Canon neglected to provide it with any).

Screen is not bright enough for outdoor use - strange thing to have on a camera.

Good – Very good quality camera that's great for taking clear colourfull photos and movies. Most of the time you can just leave it on "Auto" mode and you'll get great results. If you need a spare battery you can get new ones on ebay from China or Hong Kong for about $2! My 'cheap' spare battery lasts longer than the Canon original. Easy to use & takes… Read more

nice clear photos with very natural colours. Videos are very clear with good sound too. Lithium ion battery lasts very well. Macro photos are very disappointing. Camera has a lot of trouble focusing on the subject whatever focus mode you choose. Camera can be a little fiddly to use if you've got big fingers and it's not too easy to grip. Download port cover is quite flimsy.

Good – One of the best slimline compact digital camera today. It has a long lasting bettery, doesn't take too long to charge and it captures great photos for any occasion. Canon has always been well known for its photo quality and this camera never lets me down. The features and options are pretty decent. Great design, robust, feels solid and still… Read more

compact. The night shots aren't the best but still not bad compares to its competitors. Overall, canon has the best lens and take crisp and clear photos under good lighting and it is very easy to use. Great lens. Great shots. Fun to use. Compact and beautiful design. Night shots and low light aren't so good.

Excellent – Very good all round camera with an extremely long lasting battery. It has the ability to capture videos too. The quality of the design is excellent as it feels solid and reliable. Furthermore, the design is also quite attractive. The picture quality is amazing, especially if taken during the morning or with good lighting. Other cameras are higher… Read more

than 8 MP but that won't matter as the lens quality of canon cameras are great Fairly compact and handy. Neat design. Exceptionaly clear and vivid pictures in daylight Terrible for night/low light scenery (as are most digital cameras). A little expensive and lacking in some features for photo settings (e.g. limited exposure options).

Excellent – This camera is by far the best for a small compact camera. Better than expected! It has 11 scene modes: Indoor, sunset, foliage, snow, beach just to name a few! It even has a fireworks & Aquarium setting!! It has continuous shoot, Movie mode, you can change the shooting interval,you can shoot panoramic images, you can check the focus and peoples… Read more

expressions but doing a focus check! Amazing!!

The best features are the face detector, colour swap and the one we use all the time is colour Accent!! This is a great camera and outstanding picture quality!! We just love this camera!!!It has tones of great features. 8.0 Mega Pixels, 3 x Optical Zoom, Opical Image Stabilizer & 2.5 LCD Pure colour 11. It comes in some great colours we got the camel colour for something different. Easy to use. Battery recharges in 1.5 hours - very fast! The playback function is very fast - doesn't take long to load the photos up. It comes in some great colours we got the camel colour for something different. Easy to use. Battery recharges in 1.5 hours - very fast! The playback function is very fast - doesn't take long to load the photos up. The best thing is it has a face detector! This works perfectly! OUTSTANDING PICTURE QUALITY! NOTHING! This camera is great.

Excellent – Really easy to use, just point and click.

and i both have one and we love them. the photos are clear and even moving shots are pretty clear. nothing i dislike about this product so far and i've had it for almost a year.

Excellent – Great, small, cheap camera that is easy to take everywhere and takes very clear photos. Like most Canon cameras, you'll probably like this one. Some of my friends have had it for over 2 years (they got it when it first came out) and it still performs outstandingly. -small and handy -light -turns on quickly -battery seems to lasst a while … Read more

-takes very clear cameras

-lots of options

-there's an image stabliser!! I have the shakiest hands so this is very imoportant to me.

-I got it at a bargain price $221 :D plus free camera case as well! (I got it from Teds Camera house by the way, it was $80 less than how much it was going for at the MYER Father's Day Sales)

-Relatively good looking- unlike a canon powershot

- -Umm nothing, for the price, you can't get much better

I guess the quality can be better, but at this price...maybe not

Excellent – This is a great camera takes great photos If you just want a point and shoot buy this camera you won't be disappointed The photos are great for cropping in your photo editting software. I took some photos with my expensive SLR camera and my wife took some with this Canon camera and I had to admit The Canon was better Ease of use Small fits… Read more

Takes great photos

LCD screen easy to see So many features will take so much time to learn them all

If you have big hands you may have trouble with all the buttons

Excellent – Great little camera. I bought it for taking on motorcycle trips as I needed something little but with good picture quality. 3 different people I know all have one of these cameras and all have spoke highly of it. Now I know why. It's great. I can even take fantastic close up photos of exhibition budgerigars in their show cages without the bars… Read more

showing - this is why my friends bought this camera in the first place and why I considered it too. Now having played around with it for a day I can see how multi skilled this little camera is. Small, light but with amazing picture quality and lots of really neat features. Have not found anything I dislike yet.
