Colours of IXUS
Available in four colours – Classic Silver, Candy Pink, Caramel and Chocolate – the Digital IXUS 80 IS is a must-have camera. The colours and curves are enhanced by pure aluminium bodywork.
8.0 Megapixels
An 8.0 Megapixel sensor captures images in plenty of detail for creative trimming and large size prints.
3x optical Image Stabilizer lens
Advanced Ultra-High Refractive Index Aspherical (UA) lens technology from Canon fits a 3x optical zoom lens into the compact form of the Digital IXUS 80 IS. An optical Image Stabilizer (IS), helps you capture blur-free images in low-light and when shooting with the zoom.
Motion Detection Technology
There’s no need to worry about blur with Motion Detection Technology. This clever feature detects camera shake and subject movement, and then adjusts ISO to combat blur while maximising image quality.
Face Detection Technology
Face Detection Technology ensures superb people shots by automatically setting optimum focus, exposure, flash and white balance. Face Select and Track lets you choose and track your primary subject, so you never lose a special face in the crowd.
Red-Eye Correction
Set to automatically remove red-eye as you shoot or during playback mode, Red-Eye Correction quickly and easily removes red-eye in camera, making natural-looking eyes easy to achieve.
DIGIC III and iSAPS
Canon’s DIGIC III processor provides lightning quick responses, superb image quality and advanced noise reduction for sharper, clearer images. iSAPS technology uses shooting scene data to optimise camera settings even before a shot is taken.
2.5" PureColor LCD II
A high resolution 2.5" PureColor LCD II screen gives an exceptionally wide viewing angle, perfect for sharing your photos with a group, plus impressive colour contrast, keeping the screen visible under bright light. An optical viewfinder (OVF) gives you additional flexibility.
Shooting Modes and My Colors
18 shooting modes include Sunset, Beach and Fireworks Special Scene modes, which optimise camera settings for the easy capture of popular subjects. My Colors in-camera photo effects can be applied during or after shooting.
Movie Options
Movie modes include Long Play (LP) for VGA (30fps) clips that use half the normal memory card space. Capture a gradual scene like a sunrise or blooming flowers, for accelerated playback with Time Lapse movie.

Small, neat, very well put together, easy to use and smart looking little camera. Very good picture quality for such a small camera. This is my third Ixus *0 series after a 40 and then a 60 - even though I've never been disappointed, Canon still seem to manage to get them better with each incarnation! Slight gripes with the previous version have been improved, with a better A/V connector cover and (I think) an improved battery life.
-
Not much. It would be good to have better battery life, and a spare battery is definitely a good idea for long days, but then it does have a superb 2.5" so you can't have everything!

Doesn't come with carry case. The memory card provided with the camera is too small- making it necessary to buy another.
Image quality is no where near as good as I expected. There is a grainyness on the photos and lack of sharpness, even when on the best possible quality setting. My 9 year old 2.0 megapixel camera I was replacing produces better pictures so very dissapointed!

The only slightly irritating thing is the slider to re view your pics, it seems too close to the video setting and sometimes ends up on that one. The layout on the switch is top middle and bottom position to look at pics-- Its difficult to describe, but it wouldnt put me off buying Canon again.

The overall feel and positioning of the controls is very good for a right hander, as you'd expect from an ixus. Separate real viewfinder will be bonus on days when a bright sun is behind you. i.s. seems to work well, but won't make a bad shake go away, care still needs to be taken. Lightweight, easy to carry, there's no excuse not to have this camera with you at all times, ready for that moment.
-
Not much on the bad side, viewing screen could do with some protection from scratches. The carry strap is only for the wrist as with most/all Canons - it would benefit from an adjustable neck strap.

Software is not as good as previous versions of Ixus - was able to set it up to automatically upload picture then automatically delete images from camera, all by dropping camera into crandle. Have been unable to work out how to do this on this camera. Also doesn't have a cradle, its just a usb connection which is not as slick.
