After a friend dropped my Sony DSC-W80 on the floor, it took me ages to find a replacement. After weeks of investigative work, trials, I chose the Canon IXUS 80 IS (image stabilisation). In the running were more expensive(!) cameras from Sony, Panasonic and Nikon.
The order was placed with Amazon, included free delivery and turned up quicker than I expected.
I've now played with the 80 IS for a few days now and I can report that the battery life is very good (probably a match for the Sony). The picture quality on any MP setting is excellent. I can't tell if there is any purple fringing with this camera (even with zoom) at all and even if you keep the picutres at max 8MP with minimal zoom you can easily edit out and still retain near perfect pictures anyway.
I'd say this camera is better than the Sony (just) for auto work, as the Sony had loads of manual settings. With the Canon you have to find them to use them.
For those that do party shots, pub shots, night shots - this is one excellent camera. Even in complete darkness shots you can prime the target by depressing the shoot button slightly (a redish light will appear to allow the auto focus to work) - then simply despress the button all the way to take the shot. Really impressive and much better than the Sony.
For me shutter times day or night - - are really important. I like to be able to power up, aim at my target and depress the shutter button. Picure taken. If I'm honest I couldn't rely on the Sony for this - - but I am with the Canon.
Of course you could spend a few more pounds and get a 10mp or 14.7mp panny DMC150 camera but for now - for all round abilty this is hard to beat. And it's cheap as chips and for Canon to be selling them at this price it's a steal.

When i first started looking for a compact digital camera for christmas, i was startled by the vast amount of Cameras available. Of a price range of under 200, after alot of research i chose this Canon IXUS 80 IS which is the best. I looked at it in the store compared to some good competators. Many people have said that it has an amazing picture quality and it does!!! absaloutley stunning and sharp. I admit that the zoom could be abit more and due to its small size it has to conpensate with a smaller screen but other than that this camera is absaloutly brilliant. I love the face detection and the image staberliser. The menus are easy...most people find that whenever looking at digital cameras, you are usually fased by the complexicity but i recomend that with this camera you take abit of time of getting used to the buttons and looking through the menus. I got used to it very quickly as it is one of the easiest.
Now to the style, this camera is a must have style icon...all my friends are buying them. Although it is not the best in Canon's IXUS range, it is a total little bundle of fun if you want a excellant quality camera that will vertually fit into any pocket or purse. You can take it anywhere with it VERY long battery life and it fast shutter speed. It is a brilliant point and shoot camera.
Although, it comes with a not so good 32mb memory card....what is the point? that will only be able to take about 5-6pictures! :S You need to get a new one and they sell them cheapely from amazon with their own cases. Also, it does not come with a case/bag so you should (if you want) buy a camera case to protect its beautiful shoney surface. I bought a beautiful leather one off amazon for very cheap. But you can also get different colour ones depending on what the colour of your Canon IXUS 80 IS is.
But it does come with all the things that you need ie. software, usb etc.
BUY IT!
ITS BRILL
ABSALOUTLEY MINT! =]
i hope this helps

Can't really speak highly enough of this piece of kit. Been wanting a new camera for a while and when I saw this one for this price, couldn't order it fast enough. Great size, superb quality pics, fantastic features. For a small camera to use on your hols, family event and stuff look no further.

As a camera collector I must have enough to start a museum but I don't bother with them now I have this little beauty. It does everything it says on the tin - and then some. It's great to have the facility to be creative with a compact and the results speak for themselves. My only 'gripe' is that there isn't a hard copy of the manual so I've had to print out the relevant pages from the accompanying CD Rom but I can live with that.
