Manufacturer's Description
 |
The Digital IXUS 80 IS is available in four subtle colour variations and incorporates Canon know how: intelligent automatic features that produce flawless snapshots. |
|
IXUS 80 IS Highlights |
 | 8.0 Megapixels The number of megapixels determines the amount of sharp detail a digital camera can record. With more megapixels, you can print at larger sizes, plus crop and enlarge without sacrificing quality. IXUS cameras provide all the resolution you need for finely detailed, photo-quality prints with plenty of scope for post-shoot cropping. A full 8.0 megapixels of resolution ensure rich depth and detail, and lets you enlarge and crop images freely. |
 | 3X Optical Zoom The camera's Genuine Canon 3x Optical Zoom not only gets you in close, but performs with all the clarity and brilliance you'd expect from the world's leader in advanced optics technology.
|
 | Optical Image Stabilizer Any slight shake while hand-holding a camera can cause blurred photos. Canon’s optical Image Stabilizer (IS) technology ensures crisp, clear images by detecting and correcting this camera shake. The camera is able to microscopically adjust its own lens with absolute accuracy up to 4,000 times every second, so the image you see is the image you capture. Image Stabilizer is especially useful at full zoom, which exaggerates camera movements, and in low-light settings that call for slower shutter speeds. |
 | Motion Detection Technology / High ISO/IS Canon’s Motion Detection Technology uses several methods to detect camera and subject movement and set exposure accordingly. The brightness of subject and background, movement of the subject (based on comparison of frames over time) Face Detection information and camera shake information from the optical Image Stabilizer (IS) gyros are all taken into account. Where motion is detected the camera automatically selects the appropriate ISO level to achieve a shot with minimal noise and zero blur. |
 | Face Detection Technology Utilising the power of DIGIC III, Canon’s Face Detection Technology ensures superb people shots by automatically detecting subjects in the frame and setting the correct focus, flash level and exposure. |
 | Red Eye Correction This popular feature can now remove red-eye automatically during shooting, as well as in playback mode. |
 | DIGIC III The massive processing capacity of DIGIC III paves the way for advanced features such as Face Detection Technology and Red-Eye Correction, while exceptional processing speed delivers outstanding responsiveness, fast and accurate auto focus and extended continuous shooting. Linking all key camera functions for maximum efficiency, all DIGIC processors achieve brilliant image detail, clarity and colour reproduction,while delivering long, high quality movies and more shots from a single charge. |
 | 2.5" LCD Screen The camera's 2.5-inch LCD screen gives you the big picture, whether you're shooting, reviewing or showing off your images. This extra-durable, high-resolution screen with tough scratch-resistant coating on the anti-reflective, PureColor LCD II screen offers a crisp, clear picture to make shooting, playback and using the camera's menu functions especially convenient. |
 | Sunset Scene Mode “Sunset” is added to the Special Scene Modes. This mode optimizes settings such as exposure and white balance, thereby making it possible to reproduce brilliant sunset shots.
|
 | 30 FPS VGA Movies Shoot super-smooth, VGA -quality movies with sound. In-camera editing gives you creative control |
Additional Features |
Optical Viewfinder |  | |
| My Colours Add a personal touch to your image or movie with Canon’s My Colours. Choose from vivid blue for the sky, antique sepia for the portrait or classic black and white for the landscape. These creative options and many more – normally available only on a computer – can be applied directly from your camera, before or after the shot. |  | |

Amazing Camera
There are lots of reviews on this so I'll be quick and specific; my wife had an Ixus 40 before this and it wasn't great in low light, she often got blurred shots and the battery life was poor, though she did love the small camera size and pics in good light did come out well. I got her this by way of an upgrade and WOW!
It's great in lower light (higher ISO), the Image Stabilisation means she gets fewer blurred shots and the battery life is WAY better. The face detection is also really good as you can now give the camera to Granny and not get a shot with blurred people and the wall behind perfectly sharp. The screen is also bigger than older models so Gran now stands a chance of seeing it, too.
I use an DSLR myself and I'm still amazed by the picture quality that comes from this little marvel, it is amazing for such a small bit of kit. From an upgrade perspective the old spare battery, case and memory cards from the Ixus 40 all fit.
Downsides? The wide end of the lens range (38mm equiv) isn't that wide but it does suffice. Other than that it's tough fault at this price, size etc. Previous Ixus XX users - it's time to upgrade!
Sweet.... Like Chocolate!
Lots of reviews on the silver version of this, not so many on the chocolate one.
I SAY chocolate, but its more a dark burgundy really. Anyway, it doesn't matter to me, its different and it looks cool.
Looks aren't everything though are they? It needs to perform well too.
I used to have a digital Ixus400 which I loved and needed something just as good. This is. No, its better. I still haven't experimented with all the features yet, but its taking some lovely pictures so far.
Plus points: It looks great.. It takes great photo's without lots of fuss.. Its nailed together well.. Works straight out of the box (still not charged the battery)
Minus points: Erm... erm... I can't think of any. Maybe its more expensive than some. But its worth it!
Amazing for the price
I bought one for my wife and was so impressed that a few months later bought one for myself.
A whole camera that takes brilliant pictures for less than just one of my slr lenses!
It fits in a top pocket and goes everywhere - it even has a (small) viewfinder for those of us who can't be bothered to put on reading glasses to use the LCD.
