"I bought Canon PowerShot A80 Digital camera new in 2004 and I haven't had a bad day with it since. My oldest son dropped it on a concrete sidewalk at one point and damaged the case but it still works like a charm. My only complaint is the relatively small screen. Hard to see in daylight especially full sun. However the picture quality and ease of use and the durability makes it easy for me to recommend. "

    "Canon PowerShot A80 Digital camera arrived on time and is in great condition. Thank you also for the instruction booklet, tripod, and memory sticks."

    "In Shot camera is very good.Canon PowerShot A80 Digital camera gives you all the manual options , and you can override the automatic setting. Good for person who’s wants to learn photography in his own leisure time.
It uses 4 pen cells , because of which the camera is bulky , but the positive side of this is
-Battery life is much more
- Its’s easy to recharge or to buy new cells
If you have more money you can purchase optional lenses and use with this camera. Thus this can be converted to almost an SLR Camera
Only this is it is quite bulky than other models in the same prize range. The camera lag time when taking photos is more , but according to most of the reviews it is less than other cameras. But I wish canon would reduce it."

    "The product is very good indeed but after sales services in India , especially in Delhi is really bad. I gave my camera for some CCD unit defect which they corrected but in the process damaged my flash unit for which i had to shell out money from my pocket. No one in the company pays heed to your complaint .
So, if any one is interested in this product, my only suggestion is that we careful on what you are getting into. After sales service which is a very important factor in your purchase decision is not good (atleast I have a personal grudge).
I have written to everyone in the company and even spoke to the quality assurance team but in vain. Nothing happened. The kept on insisting that the fault is mine and my flash unit was damaged even before the camera was given for repair of CCD unit. Even though I have written documents which implies that their engineers made the mistake, they are not owning up the mistake."

    "If you look around on the web (google for a80 review) you will find that Canon PowerShot A80 Digital camera is a favorite in it's class. I am very happy with it, I've had it for about a month.
I do find the slight delay between pressing the "shoot" button and the shot actually being taken kind of annoying, but the gerat photo quality and long list of features make up for that. Consider getting a mini-tripod for it. "
