Canon PowerShot A80 Reviews

The Canon A80 distinguishes itself with excellent color rendition, long battery life, and impressive low-light performance. It is simple enough for a novice, yet also provides manual controls that advanced photographers will appreciate. read original review

Good indoor and outdoor pictures, a well designed body, and a useful swiveling LCD screen earn the Canon PowerShot A80 a very positive review. read original review

The Canon PowerShot A80 is Canon's best A-series camera to date, and makes a very good choice for the casual photographer. The A80's smaller-than-average LCD screen is cited as one of its few drawbacks. read original review

Good photo quality, a flip-out LCD screen, a great software package, and a well-constructed body make the Canon PowerShot A80 a standout. On the downside, the A80 can overexpose the sky in bright conditions, and exhibits occasional purple fringing. read original review
