Short end of it - if you want to be able to capture any memories that happen fairly quickly do not buy this camera.


People were amazed by the clarity, and how professional each picture looks.
This is the camera to have!

Something about non-compatability of my 2002 Gateway and softwear?

However, I did want to upgrade it to a more modern camera. Unfortunately, the S80 has been discontinued apparently without any replacemnet e.g. S90 in the works. I then purchased a used S80. It is a great camera and is markedly improved over my old S40. The large LCD screen, wider zoom range, smaller size, improved movie mode are major changes.
I always keep it in a case when not in use, and like a prior reviewer would be pleasantly surprised if it was not damaged by dropping.



UPDATE 2008: The camera has become unreliable. When I set the flash to always fire, it doesn't. The macro is still amazing though.
UPDATE 2011: The camera became more and more unreliable through 2009, and eventually died sometime in 2010. That's 2 years reliable service, and completely dead after 4 years. I expect more from a camera, and having read other reviews I believe it is unique to Canon. My next compact camera will not be a Canon. Maybe Nikon Coolpix...

In addition the documentation about the camera is not clear. If the camera comes back from Canon fairly quickly, and performs well when it arrives, I will consider it a good purchase and recommend it to others.

What i found?
- The pictures are slightly darker than its competitors with the same specification.
- Usually marks you are shaken to take the picture
- In other ocassion you are not notify about the shaken status and even though the photos are blurred.
- Size is ok
- You have to wait about 6 or 7 seconds to take your next picture (too much time!)
- The outside photos are the better ones, but the one taken inside are too dark for my expectations.
I definetly think you may invest 40 or 50 extra bucks and get something better. As i will do right now.


This is a camera for amateur photographers that nonetheless offers interesting shooting possibilities. You can use regular batteries in it or buy the rechargeable battery pack for a few more bucks. My advice is that you should buy the battery pack and take regular batteries with you when traveling to far, isolated places where electricity is not available. And for those like me who do not like to use digital zooming, the 8-megapixel definition allows you to extend the power of the 4x optical zoom as it offers great picture cropping possibilities without lessening the quality of 5x7 inch prints.

I originally wanted a digital SLR, but didn't want to spend that kind of money, yet....
Likes:
-Very good battery life (366 shots and counting) for a "AA" camera. I still picked up some rechargeables 2500 mAh.
-Camera pictures very sharp; 7.1 MP means lots of options to crop, zoom in, and poster size prints.
-Good indoor shots - accurate colors; little noise if camera is set to the right "indoor" setting, unlike those other "pocket" cameras.
Needs Improvements:
-camera has a more "plastic" feel than my other pocket cameras.
-digital screen is small by today's standards.
Summary: Not exactly a full size digital SLR (Nikon D50 or Rebel, come to mind), but don't let the looks, and feel fool you; take the time using this camera, testing it's functions and you'll discover what a true gem it really is!





Great picture quality and speed is super fast. Adjustable view screen makes it unbeatable for setting camera down, framing your picture and using timer to take pictures. I set it up to take 3 pictures in rapid succession with the timer...eliminates a bad photo with someone blinking or bad expression. Screen rotates to let you see what is in frame when you hold it up high to take pictures over peoples heads. Screen also folds in to protect itself while in your pocket.
Great price with Amazon.com and fast shipping as always. AA rechargables is another great feature. Don't have to fool with special chargers or batteries. A little larger than some cameras but will still fit in purse or pocket nicely. Flash is better than with other smaller cameras. Put in a 1 GB memory card and you can take many many pictures on your longest vacations. You will love this camera!
