Top Reviews  Canon S80: A Technical Marvel & The Best Small Digicam 31 of 31 people found this review helpful. Pros: Small for a digicam with such an extensive feature set, Full manual control options, extra wide lens, Superior Resolution at 8 Megapixels, 2.5" Color Screen, Great Battery Life, Durable Body & Above Average Build Quality, High quality video capture, DIGIC II Image Processing makes this camera ultra fast and responsive, fast start-up time and very little shutter lag, Fast Auto Focus, Intuitive Menus, All controls are accessible through buttons in addition to menus, Powerful Flash (User adjustable) Fast Lens (in Wide Angle Settings). Cons: May be too bulky for those who want a tiny pocket digicam, No RAW capture option, Takes SD memory cards, instead of Compact Flash Type I and Type II microdrives, Lens is not that fast when using telephoto (compared to other digicams in this class) My search for a portable pocket-able digital camera ended when the Canon Powershot S80 came on the market a few months ago. I wanted a truly portable high quality digicam that had full manual and automatic settings. Having the extra wide-angle lens capability was also a desirable feature for landscape and general photography requirements. Although Canon switched from an all aluminum casing body (on the Powershot S70) to one that is both aluminum and high impact plastic in a move I suspect to shave even more weight off the camera it still feels durable and has a nice heft to it. The image quality is several notches above the average 5-7 megapixel digicam in the $300-500 digicam class which I atttribute to the excellent lens and the DIGIC II Image Processing Engine. You can also crop and enlarge to a greater degree since the 8 megapixel resolution CCD provides sharper pictures. 11" x 14" will come outrazor sharp even after moderate crops. The wide angle lens will provide at least 15% more coverage than the competing point and shoot cameras so if you are shooting building interior and exteriors or landscapes, the added wide angle coverage will come in handy. Bottom Line: You will not find a better compact 8 Megapixel Digital Camera for the money. If you are looking for a portable digital camera that won't weigh you down like the typical DSLR, the Canon Powershot S80 cannot be beat. Review ID: 10000000000127264 Was this review helpful? Report this review Great camera !Review created: 06/08/06 by: garyphoto3lgi ( 4 ) 10 of 11 people found this review helpful. I am a professional photographer. I wanted a point & shoot whose zoom range started at 28mm. That narrowed the choices by 99%. Why have a camera that can't shoot a bit wide? It was of less importance to me that it has 8 megapixels - that's a lot of juice for a point & shoot. It's about 1.5 times the thickness of a deck of cards. Though it fits into a coat pocket, on warm days I put it into a Tamrac case and slip my belt through its belt loop. I don't even know it's there. I just hiked through 3 national parks like this with great comfort. I'm thinking that it may be important to shoot at 1/250 shutter speed because point & shoot's are difficult to hold stable against your eye. I am not one of those people that hold the camera 2 feet in front of them and look through the LCD screen. The LCD screen is large, the same size as the Canon 30D and 5D. (Probably costs Canon 25 cents) Email me if you have any questions. Review ID: 10000000001139233 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
