I have to admit I am not the biggest fan of Canon. I received a Canon Powershot S20 for a gift and bad is an understatement.
So I was reluctant to try the Canon Powershot S80. It has a hefty price tag of $500-600. So it needs to provide some bang for its buck.
Superficial Inspection __ Jameson Thottam __
At first glance the Canon S80 is bulky and heftier than most point and shot cameras. You will not be sliding this camera discretely into a shirt pocket. It is definitely needs a camera bag, or a purse to carry this.
The camera is a little slow. Meaning if you are trying to take a picture of your 3 year old, you will probably miss the shot or get them turning away. Even though it has different shutter speeds you tend to miss most of those perfect moments.
Still the same old problems __ Jameson Thottam __
Also I have yet to test a camera with excellent red eye. This camera is no exception. In order to avoid red eye, Canon recommends having your subjects look straight into the flash. That is all good, but when I am trying to take a picture of my 3-year-old twins, looking into the flash is not an option. So most of my pictures appear to have those devil eyes.
Enough said__ Jameson Thottam __
With all that said, when you do get the shot the picture quality is fabulous. True colors bright and bold. (Something Canon has seriously improved on since the S20.) I cannot express enough how great the pictures look.
For a point and shoot camera it is fairly easy to operate as well. Once you get the battery charged you are good to go for quite awhile.
Battery life __ Jameson Thottam __
Which brings me to another plus, the camera had a fabulous battery life. I was able to use this camera for several days, medium to heavy use, without recharging the battery.
Summation__ Jameson Thottam __
If you have the money to spend on a point and shoot then this is the camera for you. You cannot beat the picture quality. If you are looking for a cheaper camera with a decent picture you will probably want the Canon SD450.

I dropped mine on the floor of Macy's in New York during the Xmas holyday, cracking the case open and loosing the shutter button. After contemplating buying a new camera, I was able to regain use of the camera using a hair pin as shutter button. Took almost 200 pictures like this. I Will write to Cannon and see if I can get a new button.
I heard some comments about the e18 error. Well, I don't know about the other models, but this one is pretty sturdy and has taken some abuse with me, and still works just fine (even with a hair pin as shutter button).
If I had to purchase another camera for some reason, it would be another a540.
Better:
* higer resolution
* larger screen makes menus easier to navigate
* key controls farther on the right... easier to use
* camera auto-rotates pictures on the review screen (even as you rotate the camera)
The only negative, shared with the A520 is that the wrist strap does not have a cincher... so the camera can slip out of your hand... past the wrist and to the floor (guess how the 520 died...). i will be adding a fastener to this one.
Card note: with larger file sizes (due to higher resolution), i recommend using a high speed card in the camera (needless to say, the 16MB card Canon includes is beyond patheticly insufficient). Based on my last vacation (and if you take any videos at all), a 2GB card is not overkill for a 10+day vacation.
I am just a little disappointed in ths storage speed but I can live with it.
The camera arrived before the promised data.
thanx

and put in the instructional dvd and started using it
the one thing i suggest get a fater sd card for short movies
The configuration of the camera is good, but it needs new sensor, new auto focus sistem and a new lcd.
Good resolution, easy use. We especially loved the fact that it has a cable to the TV and we could watch the sightseeing pictures with the whole family.
You'll have to buy a memory card though because the one which comes with the camera isn't enough.
Its color and whiteness balance are beautiful right out of the box. The controls are extremely easy to use for experienced photographers though the manual is needed if you are new to this technology. Be patient with the manual-it's not the best one but if you take your time it all comes together.
I found most pictures shot MUCH better with slight tweaking of the aperature and ISO rather than the flash which tends to make the pictures way too contrasty for my liking.
Contrary to other writeups Ive seen, the flash can be shut off. The camera is extremely comfortable and lightweight though this is not a mini camera for those looking for that kind of body. The zoom is great but too short on focal length (only 114mm).
The camera shoots and writes to memory quickly and I purchased a fast 1gb card-something you will defintely need for a trip. The cover for the USB and other electrical hookups is an absolute piece of garbage. How Canon puts that on an otherwise excellent piece of equipment is beyond anyones imagination.
The other great feature I specifically looked for is a bright LCD that is movable so you can shoot very low or very high angles. Not only does it swivel but when finished shooting, the screen can be turned INTO the camera, protecting it from those nasty scratches you get when carrying it around.
All in all- for the price-pick one up at Amazon-it was cheaper than anyone else, including my beloved B&H Photo.
Don't forget a memory card!
BUT- try to find a different place to buy it. $599.00 is way too expensive.
The features of this camera put it on a par with most professional models.
Another thought: NASA has determined that 2-mega-pixle is equal to 20-20 vision. (The Mars explorer robots are equiped with 2 MP cameras.)
So, unless you are going to do some wild cropping, go easy on the file sizes.
Another plus: It uses AA bateries.
