The Canon IXUS 80 IS has come down considerably in price since its introduction. It is currently offering excellent value. This handy, pocket camera takes a good picture in most situations. The build quality of the IXUS 80 IS is impressive and it also has a touch of style about it as well.
Canon have found room to squeeze in both a 2.5 inch LCD screen and a viewfinder. When I was running my tests on this camera I found it possible to view the screen clearly even on sunny days.
Under the sleek looking body is basically a point and shoot digital camera. You can use it in fully automatic mode and it should not take you that long to get up and running with the IXUS 80 IS.
Image stabilisation has been built into the lens and a red eye correction tool is available to clean up portraits where red eye is causing a problem.
