TestSeek's Expert Reviews Summary
Staff at TestSeek has read all the expert reviews (so you don't have to) for this product and written a summary of what the editors think about the product.
The Canon IXUS 80 IS is a small, sleek but powerful camera with a weight of only 125g. It has an advantage of not having a whole bundle of features stuffed in, but just the essentials. It has the all important optical image stabilizer, a full auto-mode which scrutinizes the light situations plus reduces the blur effect from images.
There is also a unique shutter with a custom-timer fit in, giving the user the freedom to select how long it should take between shots.
The camera also offers a wide range of ISO speeds to select from, 80 – 1600. The colour-swap and the colour accent features are also part of the package, which enables one to change one colour for another in the image, or retain one colour and make the remaining black & white, respectively..
The editors were especially impressed with the high image quality, especially for images including deep colours.

Little noise at high ISO settings. Image stabilization. Optical viewfinder. Antireflective LCD.
