The Canon IXUS 80 IS comes in four colours and is the entry level model of the range.
Expert review by : Chris Hall (pocket-lint.com)
The IXUS 80 in terms of its offering, unsurprisingly, sits below the IXUS 90 we reviewed recently on Pocket-lint and replaces the IXUS 70, adding image stabilisation and upping the pixellage to 8 million over that model. But is this compact camera...
Great design, solid feel, display information, image stabilisation
Some features hidden in menus, viewfinder a little on the small side, only 32MB SD supplied
It is clear that we were impressed by the little Canon and there is something of a "but" lurking around the corner. Hot on the heels of the IXUS 80 is the IXUS 85 (due April 2008), essentially offering the same features as the 80, but with 10...

Like its Digital Elph predecessors, Canon's PowerShot SD1100 IS looks and feels great.
Despite a few minor issues, the Canon PowerShot SD1100 IS is a joy to use, and it produces superb photos for its class. If you can get by without a truly wide-angle lens, you'll be more than happy with the SD1100 IS. And, man, does it look cool.
Expert review by : Phil Ryan (cnet.co.uk)
One of the most popular cameras of last year wasn't a big fancy digital SLR, or a pimped-out superzoom, it was Canon's somewhat understated Powershot SD1000 . Its combination of a nice, though not extravagant, feature set, small size, and relatively...
Great image quality; minimal shutter lag; speedy performance; optical image stabilization; face detection; optical viewfinder.
No manual exposure controls; slow flash recycle time.
Canon's SD1100 IS adds optical image stabilization to last year's hit SD1000, while delivering just as impressive image quality.

The Canon Digital IXUS 80 IS compact digital camera includes an 8 megapixel lens, DIGIC III processing, Face Detection Technology and iSAPS to deliver exceptional performance while smooth, refined design and a choice of four tantalising colours make it...
The Digital IXUS 80 IS lets you shoot movies as well as photographs. Several movies modes provide plenty of options; Long Play mode captures video clips that occupy only half the usual storage space and Time Lapse mode records gradually unfolding...

Having lost my previous camera in an unfortunate incident involving a corrupt taxi firm, intoxication and being dressed as a knife and fork (long story), just days before embarking on a cross continent cycle ride, a snap decision had to be made. Weight...
In summary, the Canon IXUS 80 IS performed absolutely brilliantly. For as little as £134.00, it is brilliant value for money and did exactly what I asked of it on the trip. For such a tiny little thing, I was very impressed with the powerful photos it...

The Canon IXUS 80IS compact digital camera delivers equally, both in terms of style and in performance.
Expert review by : David Fearon (igizmo.co.uk)
Those people at Canon really know how to make gorgeous-looking cameras, and the IXUS 80 IS is a prime example.
Features-wise, even though it’s in the middle of Canon’s bewilderingly vast range of IXUS compacts (around a dozen models at the last count), you’ll want for little in the way of features
Expert review by (cameras.co.uk)
The Canon IXUS 80 IS digital camera is an 8 megapixel pocket camera with a 3x optical zoom. It is a cut above most of its rivals and scores heavily when it comes to picture quality and style. It is well worth a close look if you are in the market for a...
Style - build quality - picture quality - viewfinder
Other pocket sized cameras now offer more zoom
The IXUS 80 IS is simply one of the best pocket cameras on the market. Picture quality is impressive and the camera is able to reel of pin sharp images. This is also a very stylish camera with a good build quality.
