Canon PowerShot A80 Digital Camera

Pros: Flip out tilt-swivel LCD, Very good photo quality, inexpensive, AA Batteries
Cons: Some chromatic aberration (purple fringing), red eye issues, minor image softness

For the past few years Canon's entry level “A” series digital cameras have been one of the best choices for consumers because of their incredible durability, creative capabilities, ease of use, and bargain prices. Canon’s exciting new A80 fur ...

Pros: Great outside pictures, software very easy to use
Cons: Inside shots are hit/miss, bulky and a bit heavy compared to other models

I have owned the Canon Powershot A80 Digital Camera for about eight months. During that time I have gotten the opportunity to take a variety of photographs with the camera. On the whole, I have been relatively happy with it but I think that ...

Pros: Tilt and swivel feature on LCD, ergonomic handgrip, creative controls, AA batteries available everywhere
Cons: 1.5" low resolution LCD, AA batteries inconvenient to charge and swap, no RAW, no hotshoe

I'll start by saying that I don't own the Powershot A80. I own the Powreshot G3 and S50 cameras, both of which share many features with the A80 and operate in much the same way. I will also add that unlike some reviewers who may just play with a ...

Pros: Excellent shooting performance and superb image quality.
Cons: Very small LCD display, poorly realized shoot/review toggle switch, other ergonomic deficiencies.

I thought I had found the perfect 4-megapixel camera... Perhaps not! I came to the A80 as the proud owner of Canon's EOS Rebel 35mm camera, which is a workhorse piece of photography equipment and very, very highly recommended. Canon knows photography, ...

Pros: Photo quality, robustness, battery life, flexibility, LCD display, and CompactFlash I memory.
Cons: I should have bought it sooner!

First off, whether you have bought this camera or not, please be sure to read the manual (quite readable, and available in PDF format at the Canon Web site), and the exceptional review by Howard Creech (one of the first reviews displayed right here where ...

Pros: Easy to use with great results
Cons: A bit on the heavy side

Four years ago I received a 35mm camera as a gift on my birthday. From that day on I turned into a snap happy wannabe professional photographer. Unfortunately like always I got my pictures back from the developers and most were of peoples feet, or those ...

Pros: Many modes, AA batteries (but 4 of them!), CF cards, swivel viewer.
Cons: Not robust, low resolution screen, expensive accessories, no low battery warning at all, purple fringing.

This is a good camera, but don't go thinking it's perfect. For a start the electronic viewfinder is small and quite low resolution - reviewing pictures to see if they are OK is disapointing, you can't tell if something is in focus using the built in ...

Pros: Well priced, use standard batteries, warm tones on results, manual functions, no wait between shot
Cons: Nothing

Love this camera. Have had it for more than 3 years. Shot good photos. I like the color it produces (slightly warmer rich tones). I saw a comparison of results at some webpage and I thought some other cameras produce somewhat more colder appearance. ...

Pros: Price, Controls, Quality of Images, Manual control is good, rich in overall features
Cons: AA batteries, no AC adapter

INTRO: Cameras suffer from the problem of "moores law" which essentially mean that they are advancing quickly and every few years or so, your camera will go into obsolecense. Which is why, like with my computer purchases, I go with the standard +1 rule. ...

Pros: Good feature set, good price:performance, GREAT battery life. Fast start-up.
Cons: Doesn't come standard with a set of AA NiMH batteries and recharger.

Picked up the A80 around six months ago, and with each use, I've become more and more impressed with this camera. The features set is good. The photo's are good. The ergonomics are good, especially with the very convenient tilt/swivel screen. ...

Pros: battery use & life, pre-programmed settings, megapixels, resolution, ease of use
Cons: LCD size, included software, shutter lag

I purchased this camera around January and have used it numerous times since, and I have not been disappointed yet. Before I purchased this camera I had a Kodak Easy Share 2.0 megapixel camera. Since this is not a review of that camera, I will just ...

Pros: Great picture quality, good videos, cool fold out screen
Cons: Rather bulky, shutter lag, mediocre autofocus

I bought this camera on the recommendations of several friends and for all of the features and shooting modes and overall it’s been a great camera. In general it takes very good pictures and is pretty easy to use. I even bought the lens adaptor and a ...

Pros: Amazing picture quality, great features, ease of use
Cons: short battery span, lens troubles after use

As I walked into Best Buy in search of a camera, I was directed towards the canon A80, one of the highest quality, and most expensive cameras at the time. After a little bit of research with competitors, I decided to purchase the Canon A80, which at the ...

Pros: Reasonable Price, Easy to Operate, Flip-Out LCD, NUMEROUS Shooting Modes, High 4 MP Resolution
Cons: Small LCD, No AC adapter for easy charging

Having studied photography and pursued my interests in the art quite seriously for many years now, as a traditional photographer I was very particular about taking my first step into the digital world. With so many brands and models of digital cameras ...

Pros: Small, good featured, swivel LCD screen, uses standard AA batteries. Color and exposure was good.
Cons: Pre-flash causes many pictures to have people with closed eyes in photos.

I had to replace a Digital camera that finally died, and after liking Canon products, purchased the A80. Things I liked were were it was a 4 megapixel camera, used standard AA batteries, had a great swivel viewing screen, was small, and was well rated. ...
