I also like its solid feel and semipro look. Everyone who has seen it wants to get one.The pictures are sharp and colors are balanced and natural.This camera is simply unbeatable for the price.I'm a happy man.

She lost her 1st one and she received another one for x-mas.Thanks,

Having already a Canon 20D, I bought this camera for two specific reasons:
1) Underwater Photography
2) City & familie pictures (the 20D is just too large to take inconspicious with you).
First off, the pictures taken with the 20D are better then the S80 but not by much in bright light. Part of the reason could be that we just were more used to the 20D, tried mostly the auto mode with the S80 and the build in flash is just not powerfull enough.
Before buying this camera I complained to Canon thet they switched to SD type memory for this camera, but during my trip my dedicated CF reader broke because one of the pins bend. Hense, I wish now that Canon would move everything over to SD flash cards.
One of the fun features of the S80 is the different modes and Video you can shoot with it. The different modes like beach, night etc are a bit troublesome since the S80 has similar features as the 20D so it can change the shutter speed to less then 1/60 and it does not let the user know (as far as I can tell that is what is happening). This gave me some major shake (blurry pictures) when shooting in dark complex settings like a forest or at night, but then what do you expect with automatic mode.
Using the TV/AC/M/P mode prevent this shake since you are more in control of shutter speed.
The manual settings on the S80 are extremely good, it is litterly an SLR in a very small body. You can change almost every aspect of taking pictures.
The video mode surprised me in a positive way. It is VERY clear and sometimes the S80 takes better video then our dedicated Digitial Sony Camcorder. There is some noise when it is quiet around you from the camera, but then I overlay my sound most of the time anyway so this is not an issue. In 640x480 mode the camera can take around 7 minutes non stop which is often more then enough for insidental video moments.
One of the greatest features for all people interested in underwater photography is the underwater mode. The S80 compensates very well for the reduction in red light.
We took 100s of pictures and they are comparable to those made by professionals as long as the pictures are taken above ~10m (30 feet) in good light conditions. Below that point the build in flash just does not perform well enough and everything turns a bit more gray. A dedicated strobe light would take care of that problem.
One feature I just loved underwater is that this camera can also take video in underwater mode with sound. It sounds a bit like Darth Vader breathing from your second stage, but the video is very crisp and allows you to bring back one of the greatest souveneirs possible. How often can you actually show people how it feels to Scuba dive, show coral waving in the current and see a turtle swimming up for air?
I compared the pictures and video against those made by a Sony and Olympus compact camera and there is no comparison. The S80 outperforms these head over heel.
Overall, the S80 is one of the best compact cameras you can buy on the market at this time. The pictures are great, the flexibility because of the manual mode settings is increadable and you get a full video/picture system to dive with up to 130 feet for less then $1000 (camera, 2x1GB SD cards, underwater case, underwater weights, 2 year extra warranty).
Four changes I would recomend:
1) Dedicated battery power indicator, now it is hard to figure this out
2) Display the shutter speed for ALL modes so shake can be prevented.
3) Underwater case should have a means to rotate the dial (not possible with current case restricting manual mode underwater, but you can pre-program the camera)
4) When changing the flash or Macro setting in the SCN mode, the user needs to reset them each time the camera is turned on.
