Editorial Review :

PowerShot S80 perfectly embodies the compact design and superior handling that are the hallmarks of the S-series, and as the top model in the line, it's equipped to impress. The 8.0 Megapixel CCD and wide-angle, high performance lens ensure spectacular images, while the extra-large LCD screen makes shooting and playback easy and fun.

Good, compact but not durable

I have owned this camera for 4 years now.

Pros - Beautiful landscapes.
Amazing outdoor shots and colors
Easy to carry. Good response time. Good video too.
I have made a few trips, shot photos/videos at a couple of marriages and the comments on my landscape shots have generally been 'which camera do you have? Wooh that's costly for a non-SLR camera but the landscape shots are surely good.'

Cons- Indoor shots suck big time, flash power is too weak. I used a extra flash which had multiple levels but the light level indoors would either come too bright or weak and it would be just right only a few times.

I had bought it for around 600+ dollars(including the cost of accessories) when it had come out and was impressed by its build quality. It really looks cool and compact. But it turns out the prices of compactness is paid in the life of the camera. Since the lens retracts back and out it has a good chance of getting damaged. It looks like some sensors(battery/door/lens sensors) have got damaged.

That moving part stopped working a few weeks back. It does not start up and the repair cost will be at least half the cost of a good new camera. I have film cameras bought buy my dad's uncle at a yard sale in the 1950s that still work fine. I was expecting this camera to last me for at least 10 years. I am very disappointed that it has become unusable in 4 years.

I would have loved to give this camera at least 4 stars but wanted to give it only 1 for not being durable. Finally I am giving it 2 for at least good 4 years of service. They don't make them like they used to anymore. Will be trying a Nikon next.

Great pictures.... Costly repair prices!!!

I actually loved my S80. The pictures I took of my children were beautiful and the camera is very easy to use. It operates extremely well in low light situations, is easy to take anywhere, and easy to download pics to computer.

I am heartbroken that after only 3 years of ownership, it is broken beyond repair. I did initially have problems with the lens cover not closing as other reviewers did, but usually if I took the battery out and charged it and then returned it the cover would close. Recently I accidentally leaned on it in my backpack. It was in a protective camera case, but the pressure of my back against my backpack broke the display screen. I took it to a repair shop and was told that to repair it would cost about $20 less than buying a new camera on Amazon. I am very dissapointed that it seems that these cameras are so throw away. Why can't canon control parts costs so that repairs can be made and cameras salvaged. Anyways, I am going to add to the landfill situation and toss my camera and buy a new one. I want a canon, but with the parts situation and lack of repair facilities I may have to look at another brand. Too bad.

Its ok

This camera compromises on a lot to fit it all in. Thus it does not do any one thing super well. But it does do many things.
The image quality I would prefer to have a slightly oversaturated color. I almost always have to tweak outdoor pictures.
Does not take good indoor(low light) photo's compared to other smaller cameras, flash overfill.
Is rather fragile.
The lens distortion is huge when trying to capture vertical items.
Video is adequate.

Probably the best camera out there with all the features and still fits in your pocket. But a lot of compromises.
If you want better outdoor and event photos, and don't need to fit in your pocket, definately look else where, something with a bigger lense.

For indoor photos or basic outdoor photos, one of the smaller pockets would do.

Great Camera!

I bought this camera in part because it had the widest angle (28) in a still compact camera size. I only use the automatic functions, not being a true camera buff. That given, I love it! It takes great pictures, has lots of functions, and everyone who sees it says Nice camera and Nice pictures!

Great camera - but fragile

I loved this camera. I really did. It took beautiful pictures and its the closest compact camera I've ever had to a DSLR. But drop it once - and say goodbye. I've had lots of cameras over the years (mostly sonys) and they can usually take a few bumps and bruises. I dropped this thing one time - and not even on a particularly hard surface, and no more camera.

Only good for video

I have had this camera more than 2 years and I continue to be disappointed. It is good outdoors and for Video but indoors it is just bad. Don't use the flash and your pictures have a 50 50 chance of turning out. Use the flash and it is ungodly slow. I have had 100 dollar cameras that warm up quicker. I will keep this camera for videos and buy another for photos. I miss out on way to many photos waiting on this camera flash to be ready or just to warm up for the next photo. I tried several different sd cards thinking it was slow because of them but it has made no difference. I read here that people like how small it is. It is not that small.

Pros for me
Good outdoor photos
Good video clips
AA batteries(use enerloops)

Cons
SLOOOOOOW
bad indoor photos
kind of bulky

Great, for a while...

I received this camera for my anniversary from my husband. I loved how easy it was to use and the picture quality. Unfortunately, a year and a half after purchase, I got the fatal "lens error". This effectively means the camera is dead and can only be repaired by Canon for $99. For such an expensive product, it should have a much longer life. I will not be buying Canon cameras again, which is sad because I loved this one and the previous Canon camera I owned (which is still going strong, despite being around 7 years old).

Hardware failures

I received this camera as a gift in 2007. Like other reviewers, I experienced a lens opening failure. The lens cap would not open all the way. It cost $120 and about 6 weeks to get repaired. I got it back and the USB connection is dead. I have to use an external card reader to retrieve photos.

Rating :

Near perfect camera, very reliable

After two years of perfect service in several locations in Italy, France and US I can say that this is very reliable camera, with semiprofessional features. It's need a lot of juice from the batteries, and you need definitely rechargeables, but the pictures are fantastic even with low light and in motion. It can be used as a point-and-shoot but allows manual and artistic touches.

Gave shutter problem after 1 year of use

I had the camera for about 1 year after which it's shutter stopped opening fully. Sometime it will open half or sometime not at all. I searched web about the issue and it seems that it is known issues in canon models.
