I ordered a Nikon Coolpix L6 (6MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom) and then ran into a friend at a party. He had one and I gave it a try. SLOW and fair pics. I went home, jumped online and changed the order to the Canon PowerShot A550. This camera is slightly larger, but is quick, good zoom, easy enough on the batteries and takes wonderful pics. Make usre you buy additional SD cards 'cause you'll love using this camera.

Looking for an entry level digital camera? Steve's Digicam has a comprehensive review of this camera and calls it one of the best entry level digital cameras. [..]You can't beat Canon for great products and excellent value.

I bent the lens on my wonderful Nikon Coolpix and was unhappy to find that it was no longer made. Repair was to be $175. For the same amount of $$ I purchased the Canon. What advances in 2 years! A big viewing screen that occupies 3/4 of the camera back. Very simple operation with options for high tech changes. The camera is quite narrow and fits easily into a shirt pocket. Most amazing is the ability to take movie "shorts" with sound! Picture quality is excellent. Hard to imagine a better camera at this price - or $100 higher.

Has anyone else had this problem?.....I have an A620 and just got the A630. When taking movies with the new A630, there are a lot more rolling lines and "screen" effect than is with the A620, especially in the edges of objects.
This is in the 640 x 480 mode at 30 fps. (most popular shooting mode)
The movie quality should be at least as good in the A630 as it was in the A620, rather than objects looking like they are moving around and "rolling" the peppermint twist. Otherwise, I would have given this camera 5 stars. This is a lot less of a problem in my A620.

I previously had a Cannon A85 which I was very pleased with but the A630 takes photography to a new level.Easy to operate....a lot of bang for your buck!

A very good digital camera. I have been using it for a week now.
I used to have a Canon G3 before it was stolen. This time I wanted a smaller camera with similar capabilities so I took the plunge with this one.
The autofocus is accurate and fast. You get x4 zoom lens and a flash which charges quickly. You get enough settings to satisfy the serious/learned photographer. For the layman photographer you have preset settings for specific situations (night time, beach scene, underwater... please buy and use the underwater protective case accessory for this setting!) or you can set to auto and shoot. Red eye reduction works everytime for me, very good.
There is also a video mode which I have not gone into much depth but it does record video up to the capacity of the memory card.
Unfortunatly the camera body is made of plastic, not metal like similarly priced rival cameras. Just lacks that extra strength and quality feel like others I have held. The battery flap underneath the camera feels a little flimsy, I am wary when I open it to remove the batteries.
But the most important thing is the quality of the photos! They are excellent. Set the camera to highest quality to allow you to crop the final image as you wish (no need to use the digital zoom really, just crop on your PC).
Canon do not supply you with a power adapter, you do not get a memory card which is adequate (only 32MB, some kind of joke!?!) and you get 4 alkaline AA batteries, which is not enough capacity to power this camera seriously. So, you should get 4 NiMH rechargeables and at least 512MB SD memory card (I got 1GB). So now you can see the realistic cost of this camera goes up! I have not bothered with the AC adapter, images download quickly to the PC or you can use a SD memory card reader meaning the camera need not be powered on while you download.
So, it gets 4 stars due to lack of higher quality materials and accesories. £35 for an AC adapter, pull the other one Canon!

I would not recommend it for your aging parents or in-laws, unless they happen to be professional photographers The Powershot S80's advanced features are more likely to appeal to folks with more photographic experience.
Cons:
1. Slightly larger than the Canon Elph series, although it still fits in my pocket.
2. Shutter can stay open only 15 seconds maximum (I would of liked at least 30 seconds for nighttime exporsures).
3. The provided 32Mb SD memory card is only big enough for about 9 images at full resolution, so you'll want to add a 1 Gig SD memory.
4. You can buy one for less than four hundred dollars (check out some NYC camera stores).
5. The camera does not come with a leather camera case. However, you can purchase the Canon S80 kit to get an extra Li-ion battery, a nice leather camera case, and neckstrap for about US$60.
Pros:
1. Controls are very intuitive.
2. Large LCD makes reading the menus easier, even without my reading glasses.
3. Advanced user manual is straightforward.
4. The ease of reading the large (2.5 inch) LCD makes learning dozens of powerful features much easier than the labryinthinan Fuji FinePix point control system.
5. Downloads via the Canon suite of Ulead Zoombrowser tools is much easier than the earlier versions of Zoombrowser I had used with my other Canon Photoshot digital cameras
6. Althogh I have not purchased a water-tight case for underwater photography yet, Canon makes one and it is reasonably priced (about US$150).
7. The movie mode (640 x 480, 30 frames per second) is handy, especially with a Gig of memory to store long movie clips.
8. The software includes Photostitch 3.1, one of the better tools for creating panoramas.

Before purchased the Cannon A530, I compared it with several other 5MP cameras.(Kodak, Sony, Nikon, Polaroid, HP, Vivitar). I chose the A530 for several reasons: 1- The number of shooting modes (over 17), 2- It uses two inexpensive AA batteries rather that more expensive Lithium, or other specialty batteries, 3- The new ISO 800 setting which reduces camera shake, 4- The White Balance Control (Auto, preset for Cloudy, Tungsten, & Flourescent, and the 4X Optical zoom lens, and 5- The Post Card Size and the Date Imprint.
I takes excellent clear pictures. The color is very true. The exposure is right on. I have tried editing a few photos, and cannot make them any better by editing brightness, contrast,saturation,and color.
Although it has an optical viewfinder, the LCD is bright and clear even in sunlight for composing a shot.
It is on the verge of being too bulky, but Cannon has other smaller models with similar features (at a higher price). I am very happy with this camera and haven't wished I had chosen a different camera.

Excellent camera, big improvement on my "trust" camera. Bit heavy but nice to hold and take photos with. Do not recommend normal free delivery, takes too long. instructions and operation of camera is not basic but not difficult even for a beginner. Swivel LCD a big plus.

For the past 20 years I've used Canon SLR's (F-1's) and many of their "L Series" lenses. No complaints, only pleasure.
Not too long ago I purchased a Kodak high end digital camera. It was just OK. I used it mostly on emergency response calls for it was smaller than an SLR and a might more rugged.
Now I chucked the Kodak, I trimmed my Canon collection down to 1 SLR and 2 lenses, and purchased the S80. I'm running a 120X 2 Gig and a 150X 1 gig SD card.
The pros:
The display took my breath away. Large, bright, and clear. The physical size is perfect. It may be just me but I enjoy the programmable sounds. The controls are pretty easy to use (gotta read that manual). Battery life is great. And finally, the image quality is beyond words. Also there are so many built-in ways to manipulate the image. The added bonus of shooting practical video at various resolutions is great (need that large SD card though). Sure, it's not an SLR with many available lenses. And it is 'point & shoot'. But now I'm using it almost exclusively versus my SLR.
The cons:
Wish the package came with more than it did. A neckstrap should have been included. The wrist strap just invites damage and disaster. One very flimsy part is the 'A/V out' door. I just cannot see it remaining attached to the camera beyond a couple of months. The documentation is daunting. The simplified manual is 26 pages. The 'advanced' manual runs 160 pages. I became pretty frustrated with the adavnced manual and its tiny size.
All in all you really get what you pay for. I don't regret it at all. Save your money and bite the bullet and buy this camera. It goes so far beyond many preconceptions of digital point & shoot cameras.

A great price for an original Canon case (especially if purchased with supersaver delivery). It fits my A710 IS, a spare SD card but a bit of a squeeze to fit 2 AA batteries in the front pouch; hence 4 stars. Otherwise a well made compact case.

This camera is everything that I wanted. I am actually a film lover, so digital cameras tend to disappoint me with the quality of there pictures. Usually, you need a REALLY expensive SLR digital camera to take good pics. However, this camera takes great pictures and was not nearly as pricey. The reason I wanted this particular camera is because I previously had the Canon A300. It was an ok camera, but at 3.2 megapixels, the pictures came out bad. However, it was very easy to use. Also, I wanted a camera where I could adjust things manually like I do with my film camera, with the option of auto. The S80 was the answer to my prayers. It is very easy to use, takes great pictures, and is still small enough to carry everywhere, including underwater. I took this camera on its first underwater adventure in Cabo and was surprised by how well it does underwater. It even has a special mode for underwater that adjusts the color balance so your pics don't come out all blue. I could go on forever about all the great things I can do with this camera!!! However, as with any camera, there are drawbacks. The biggest one for me is this spinning wheel that allows you to quickly scroll through pics. I always bump it and scroll too far on accident. Overall, I give it an A+!!!

To J.Griffin whose review is below:
'Snobby purists insist on RAW.'
No, people who understand bit depth and post-processing insist on RAW. If you insist on calling people who are educated and skillful snobby then that's your (sad) business.
'RAW takes hours of work for marginal improvements.'
It does not. It takes seconds or at worst minutes.
'JPEG is better for almost all applications.'
JPG is 'adequate' for almost all applications but it is certainly not better (unless by better you mean more convenient). RAw images are 16 bit and JPGs only 12 bit so again, learn!
Now to my review: the S80 takes marvellous still images. I've used an S70 for over a year (mostly in RAW mode Mr Griffin) including a trip to Japan and it's generally (although not consistently) the equal of my Canon 20D DSLR. The S80 is better than the S70 because of the slightly higher resolution, the digic II processing (faster response) and very importantly the video mode. The S70 has a poor video mode (640 x 480 @ 10fps and only 30 second files) but the S80 blows it away with 640 x 480 @ 30fps or 1024 x 768 @ 15fps! Both the modes are constant up to 1GB or card fill. Now think about this: put a couple of strips of masking tape over the top and bottom of the lcd monitor to give a 16:9 aspect, shoot in the XGA mode and then use Premiere (or whatever) to crop the 4:3 output of the S80 into 16:9. What we have here people is a pocket widescreen camcorder at near broadcast quality(ish... & mono sound... but that's picky).
Unreservedly recommended.

I first opened the box, took one look and thought I'm going to have to send this back! It's bulkier than I thought it would be and feels a little plasticy. I hated it straight away.
Started to take some pictures (which is what it's meant to do) and I am absolutely blown away by the quality and ease of use of this camera. I'm a bit of a novice with a camera so having just the basics is great...but then you can also make everything completely manual.
In manual mode I could get a crystal clear picture of something that was 1cm away from the lense!!!!
Awesome camera....buy it if you can put up with it being a little bulky and feel a little toy-like!!!!!

From reading the other reviews, I seem to be one of the few to have mechanical issues with my A530. Within a month after buying it, the lens cover began remaining half closed when the power is turned on. I have to manually flick open the shutter/cover. Then, the flash began intermittently malfunctioning and now the zoom function will only work in one direction (that is, it works to "zoom in" on something, to zoom back out I have to turn the camera off and back on. To my knowledge, the camera has not been dropped or otherwise physically abused to cause these problems.
I'm disappointed because I do like the photos that the camera takes when it does function properly.
Fortunately, I bought it at Costco, so it's going back.

OK, I've spent years using a nice film camera -- solid body, good, interchangeable lenses, etc. -- so maybe I'm biased, but this camera just doesn't do it for me.
For starters, the thing had to go straight from the box to the canon repair center (on my dime natch, as my wife purchased the camera several months before as a birthday present so there was no option to return it to the store once my birthday rolled around, and canon did not offer to pick up the shipping): the image was blurry and overexposed.
Now that I have it back from the shop, here's my beefs: a) the viewfinder is atrocious -- only the center of the image in the viewfinder is in focus, with the rest being a blurry mess. b) Pictures are still a little blurry, even at maximum resolution. c) The supplied software doesn't have much to recommend; just a very basic image downloading/viewing program along with a program to stitch images together.

I got this camera for Christmas, but returned it because the SD600 is smaller and has one improvement over this one... the videos.
The issue is this camera makes an annoying clicking noise during videos, and it shows up on the files when you watch them on your computer. The reason for this is the microphone inside picks up the sounds of the camera's internal pieces clicking and whirring. The SD600 does NOT have this issue with videos.
Buy the SD600 instead!

This is an amazing camera for the average amateur photographer. Nice picture and video quality. Compact enough to fit in your jeans pocket (if you wear them baggy), but not too small that it will be easily misplaced. I am not a big fan of the memory card placement (in the compartment where the battery goes), but the pictures look quite nice, and the zoom covers my basic needs.

This camera is a very nice item for snapshots as well as some more sophisticatied photography. Reasonable price. Good 4x optical zoom, which is better than most. Large and fairly bright screen for composing and reviewing photos. What I really like, with my aging eyes is, when you change modes, the way it briefly displays a large icon on the screen identifying the new setting. The icon then fades to its smaller size and peripheral location. Older Canons didn't do this.
