Is the Canon Ixus 80 any good and where can I get it at its cheapest?
      #676103 - 08/07/2008 11:45

Hi, my last camera was a 10MP Canon Powershot A640 and I had loads of fun with it, it was great. But now I'm looking for something much smaller and lighter that I can just use as a normal digicam, that will take almost as good quality photos. I think I've decided on the 8MP Canon Ixus 80 as my budget is around £150. Does anyone have anything good or bad to say about it? And does anyone know where I can find a really good price for it as I'd preferably like to pay £130 or less? Thanks in advance

Loo at the Canon A720is, available for £139 at Jessops or for £125 at some other places - 8MP, 6x zoom, 2.5" screen - all you could wish for!

Why do people with expensive cameras say you don't need one to take good photographs

Thank you for your help. I decided to definitely get the Ixus 80 as it ticks the boxes of everything I want from a camera at the moment. Thanks again :-)
