Canon Powershot S80 reviewA review of the Canon PowerShot S80 digital camera is available at DPInterface. The Canon Powershot S80 is a compact 8 megapixel camera with a 3.6 times optical zoom that offers something for everyone, from the casual point and shoot photographer to the experienced amateur who demands full manual control over the picture taking process.

The reviewer’s opinion:
“The few pros of the S80 include unlimited continuous shooting mode and good movie mode plus image quality. Though the movies are large in size and are limited to 1 GB per clip. A large (but low-resolution) LCD and the S80’s inefficient power consumption caused battery life to be below average. Overall camera performance was slightly below average as well. The S80 has dropped the RAW option available on the S70 and by the looks of it, Canon isn’t (ever) going to put it back for quite a while.

The S80 has a fairly slow 3.6x zoom lens with no optical image stabilization. So that’s it, the S80’s features (excluding the manual controls) practically stink.”
