Customer Reviews: Read 21 more reviews... Very clear pictures and great zoom December 28, 2008N. Porter (London, UK) I bought this camera for diving as the review for both the camera and case were excellent. It takes very good pictures, is compact and looks great. The flash is brilliant and I can't wait to take it underwater to see how it performs there.  Faulty Screen December 27, 2008Ambient silence (Bristol, England) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful I have had my camera for a little over a year and had been pretty pleased with it until for no apparent reason the screen packed up. I thought I would take it in to a local Canon sevice centre only to find out that the closest ones are over 150 miles away. Its not as if I live in the Orkneys. Very poor customer service in my opinion. Would I recommend this camera? No. Would I buy Canon again? Most definitely not. An expensive mistake I won't be repeating.  Great product for price but one big problem - red eye December 20, 2008MaHsa (UK) I bought this camera 2 months ago and since then I have had the opportunity to take numerous shots in various conditions. The results in daylight are very good as with Canon cameras. For the price you pay, this is a very good camera but unfortunately, in low light conditions, red eye becomes a major problem. It is even worse with the red eye reduction flash on, so I am not impressed with that feature. I now have to purchase a red eye removal software as the free downloadable ones are not as quick to use, but at USD30, it is worth buying otherwise all my photos are ruined because of the red eye problem with this camera. Before this camera, I had the Casio Exilim Z700 and the Canon Ixus 5, but I never had to edit any images prior to printing due to the red eye problem, so it is a little disappointing to have this problem now with this otherwise nice little camera - I hope this will be helpful to potential buyers. Top Bit Of Kit December 20, 2008Mrs. A. Burns (Manchester, UK) I had the Ixus 750 which was great (apart from the dreaded Error 18) but the Ixus 80 IS is fantastic. Lighter and more compact. The picture quality is excellent and the face recognition is great. I honestly thibk this a top camera for the money. Highly recommended. Great little camera, minor quibbles December 6, 2008G. Shortt (Leeds, UK) 20 out of 20 found this review helpful Picture quality superb, ease of use excellent (still haven't needed to look at the manual), IS feature very impressive, and have many good snaps from the holiday I bought it for. Everyone has covered the plusses, and the price at Amazon is obviously superb value, so I'll focus on the minor gripes and frustrations I had. 1) Battery Life is Good, not Brilliant I got 250-300 snaps from both the supplied Canon battery and the no-name replacement purchased separately. I also browsed shots on screen a few times and got a couple of minutes video. Each battery lasted four days of a fourteen day holiday. Foolishly, based on comments here, I did not take the charger as, although the unit is small, the cable is big and bulky. Frustratingly, the charger is small and compact and the US model has a two-pin attachment so it becomes a wall-plug. The supplied model, though, comes with a long and chunky UK power cord which undermines some of the benefits of having such a small camera and charging unit. In summary, the battery life is good, but make sure you take the charger on holiday. This is my first new compact digital camera for five years and only my third camera so I don't know how this compares to other models but it is not as good as I had hoped. It certainly does not need charging daily though as some reviews suggest other models do. 2) Burst mode Although there is a menu symbol indicating that several shots can be taken in quick succession in a 'burst mode', in practice this works only on timer and not when used normally. This would be a frustration for anyone wanting to take wildlife or action photos, although I accept that anyone serious about that kind of photography will be using a higher-spec camera. 3) Finish and accessories You need a case which makes this a little less of a bargain. I bought the chocolate model and the finish is already worn on one corner. The supplied 32Mb card is, obviously, useless, but with SD cards of 2Gb and 4Gb now so cheap that is not really an issue (Note that older memory card readers will not read these SDHC cards and you'll have to use the USB connection - no big deal). With memory cards now so cheap, though, you wonder why Canon or Amazon can't just throw in a free 512Mb card at least. Graham | |
