It takes beautiful pics, has user friendly features, and is value priced.
I expect we'll buy a third for our younger daughter in the not-too-distant future.

I really love the different manual settings however, and for the money I would say it's one of the best point and shoot cameras you can get.


If you were spending nearly $400 for 3 megapixel cameras in 2001, it's amazing to see what's available for half that price today.
This was purchased for my mom, who is well into her 70s, and has been selling on Ebay for a few years. Her product pictures on a very low end camera she bought a few years ago really needed some help.
This camera is fairly intuitive, and worked well out of the box.
No strong negatives, but prepare for the following:
Some of the the menus are complex and options I would consider commonly used (like photo resolution) are rather deeply buried.
The memory card and batteries are located within the same access door on the bottom of the camera. This seems like a good way to end up picking up batteries.
The bundled software is only OK. You can get a better organizer for free (Google's Picasa) and the editing software is nothing to get excited about.
The flash options are limited to "auto flash" and "no flash". I was surprised not to find a "manual flash" to force flash operation (this may be one of the deeply buried options).
It has lots of "scenario" presets (kids and pets, landscape, etc), but none of these seemed to offer any improvement over full auto. Inexplicably, the "nightscape" setting doesn't turn of the flash.
If your needs are simple (and if you are already running an organizer like Picasa or the one in Photoshop Elements v5) then this camera should be more than adequate.


Why did I buy Canon again? We fell in love with the 610, the 630 has a larger lcd which also swivels. This particular feature I would find it hard to do with out.

Also, it is too big for entertainment using.

No, this tiny little box will not replace your DSLR. It's small sensor and lens handicap it in medium and low light. Faint noise begins appearing in shadows at ISO 100, noise is visible at ISO 200, and very visible at ISO 400. You probably won't go beyond 4X6 size at ISO 200 with "good" results. Zoom is restricted, and there are some corner problems when the lens is wide. I've found it tricky not shaking this tiny, light machine when I press the trigger without support. Autofocus is reliable and efficient, but not "fast" by DSLR standards.
But at ISO 50 (and sometimes 100), this camera can shoot smooth, clean pictures with rich, accurate colors and resolution good enough for 8X10 prints (maybe even larger) that could be suitable for framing. For a compact, I think this camera's dynamic range is terrific---it can capture small tonal and color differences in both the light and dark areas of a picture almost as well as my Canon DSLR, and that's saying a lot. Even at ISO 200 and 400, when noise begins to mar the picture, you still get an admirable amount of detail and color.
And, wow, who ever heard of a compact non-DSLR that can fill an entire 1 gig card with continuous full size fine jpegs? In shutter priority mode, my S80 has shot 17 frames in ten seconds (7 frames in ten seconds in aperture priority) without having to come up for air! I used both SanDisk Extreme and Ultra II SD cards, and the little guy just didn't stop clicking.
There is no raw mode, but if you enjoy fiddling with your pics in Photoshop, take the sage advice from the dpreview people and turn down the constrast, saturation, and sharpness. You will get a raw-er jpeg image out of the camera, that can be custom tweaked in post-processing. I've been amazed at some of the results.
If you're accustomed to DSLR performance, you'll be giving up a lot when you put the S80 in your pocket and leave your camera bag at home. But I've been having a blast just exploring the limits of this camera, and am convinced it will capture some great impromptu pictures over the next year. The flaws I've noted tempted me to rate this camera a 4, but that just wouldn't be fair. The S80 is made to go in your pocket, and you just can't expect a cigarette box sized camera to perform like a two pound DSLR with an L lens. There are 8X10's I've shot with my S80 that look like they were shot with a DSLR, and that's why I'm impressed (again) with those guys at Canon. My S80 is going a lot of places with me. It is the best compact I've ever owned.

If you are camera savvy, you may want to spend a bit more and get a better camera, some of my pictures came out blurry when I shot in the morning light and the flash (automatic mode) did not fire.
the instruction manual is overly complicated if you just want to take pictures and upload them to your computer. Probably written by nerds who live and breathe digital cameras!
A great buy for the money, just spend another $20 on a 2 gigabyte card and throw the 16 megabyte card that came with the camera out. No need to buy rechargeable batteries, two AA Duracells last a long time, even when using the playback mode extensively.







The A460 does not have the auto-rotate feature to save photos in the appropriate portrait or landscape modes. The battery and SD card are accessed through a common door, which doesn't have quite the snap and tight fit of the A520's smaller separate doors. The handshake symbol also tends to show up often when taking indoor pictures with the flash disabled - something I don't even think about with the A520. The zoom buttons were actually more intuitive to use than I expected. But I do prefer the SET button in the center of the joypad on the A520, as I tend to forget to reach down and to the left for the SET button on the A460.
But I'm nit-picking here. Otherwise, it's a great point-and-shoot camera, with a great zoom lens, and at a great price.

For a 7MP camera a price of £190 is great and you notice a few things were done to keep the price low. The pack comes only with a starter manual as the real manual is on CD. It comes with 4 * AA size batteries, but you can easily use rechargeables yourself. Almost everyone has a charger for these anyway. I used to think this was a major disadvantage because it makes the camera quite a bit heavier. However a few months ago I went on holiday with some friends and we two of us ran out of battery power. Since I did not bring my Sony recharger I was stuck, but my friend was able to walk into the nearest souvenir shop and buy 4 standard alkaline AA batteries for about a 1£ and was able to shoot again.
There are 3 things about this camera that set it apart from most other similar small digital cameras.
1. The vari-angle LCD is great. You can hold the camera in any position and see it. Particularly if you want to hold the camera in front of you to make a picture of yourself or place it somewhere to use the self-timer and see the display from a distance.
2. By adding a tube to the camera it can be fitted with filters and/or a wide-angle/ Tele lens. The problem with this tyope of camera is usually that you can't get a decent wide-angle shot. I bought a set (filter, wide angle, tele and ring adapter) on Ebay and they do a good job for about £40. regretfully the official adapters are ridiculously expensive. Its £80 for the wide angle on its own.
3. It has a stitch function that allows you to make exact overlapping pictures to later put them together on your computer. No more guessing as you can see exactly how to do it virtually perfect.
4. The camera has similar to SLR's a lot of manual settings. So if you are not happy leaving it on 'Auto', most things can be adjusted.
A negative is (as with most compacts) that as you increase the ISO setting, the pictures get a little noisy. That is really were this camera can't compare to an SLR.
Probably the most important thing is that it really makes great pictures for such a reasonably priced camera. I am very happy with this purchase and can advise this camera to anyone.


Welllll... the camera is easy to use, light, simple to operate... but the pictures aren't the excellent quality I have come to expect from Canon. Good, but not great.
Service was okay, a bit slow to ship and advertised the product as new (it was not), but when they didn't have the smaller storage chip we ordered, they substituted a 1Gig which went a long way toward consoling us.
Again, good, maybe even very good, but not great.



quick shot, moderate weight and volume, and cool appearance.
However, the noise on the LCD is more obvious than another camera of mine in dark place.But it works pretty good when outdoor. Anyway, it is a good camera for the price and I like it very much.


Using the camera, it has a good weight and feel for average sized hands. The use of AA batteries helps keep the cost down, and has it's own advantages, although some may prefer the longer life charges of Lithium-Ion batteries (I do). General, controls are well thought out and easy to use. The zoom is nice and smooth.
For those that prefer an optical viewfinder, Canon is probably the strongest supporter, and this is a better than average viewfinder, although it does not have a diopter adjustment. But you'll probably never use it with the tremendous 2.5" rotary screen. Yes, there are 3" screens on the market, but this dwarfs anything on a hinge! It is a great aid in composing photos at low, high, or other odd angles (photos you simply didn't take before).
Another feature that gets high praise is the flex-focus system. Today's AF cameras do a decent job, but occassionally, they just don't hit on the right focus point. With the flex system, you can determine which point to use. This is simply great for crowded rooms or nature photos where the subject may not be the closest item within the focusing areas.
Control for this price point is very good indeed. Multiple "scene" modes make it easy for the novice (ok, or sometimes lazy pro), while the semi-auto and manual modes give even experienced users all they need.
Simply put, this camera could have easily been priced $50 to $100 more. The only real competition is the A640, $100 more, 10 meg, and a bit more attractive black finish.
