 Great Camera! December 21, 2008
I bought this camera in part because it had the widest angle (28) in a still compact camera size. I only use the automatic functions, not being a true camera buff. That given, I love it! It takes great pictures, has lots of functions, and everyone who sees it says Nice camera and Nice pictures!
 Great camera - but fragile November 30, 2008
I loved this camera. I really did. It took beautiful pictures and its the closest compact camera I've ever had to a DSLR. But drop it once - and say goodbye. I've had lots of cameras over the years (mostly sonys) and they can usually take a few bumps and bruises. I dropped this thing one time - and not even on a particularly hard surface, and no more camera.
great start, bad ending October 16, 2008

I bought this ~18 months ago to replace an earlier Powershot which was stolen.
Pros:
- lots of features
- small enough to fit in your pocket
- decent zoom
- decent video
Cons:
- bad low-light performance
- too slow for action shots (sports, etc.)
- e18 / lens error
- frequently gives image stabilization warnings, especially in low light
I'm currently in the market for a new camera - my lens just decided to jam itself open for no apparent reason. Reading reviews for Canon Powershot cameras apparently this is endemic to the entire product line. Called Canon and their flat rate service fee is $139 for a camera I could buy refurbished on ebay for $200 so not exactly a bargain. They did offer a "loyalty" program which looks like they give you about a 50% discount off a refurbished SD850, G9 or Rebel XT if you trade in your old S80.
Now I'm trying to decide if I should go for the refurbished SD850 and risk another lens error, or switch to Nikon.
Just wanted to post this review to warn people yet again about problems with the lens in Canon Powershot cameras.
 The Canon E18 error January 1, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I bought the canon S80 a year back. During the new years party yesterday i got the E18 error. The lens won't retract or extend after this. After researching this error, i am pretty annoyed about it. In nutshell, the camera is as good as trash now. Listen to the other reviewers and at least search for "canon E18 error" before you buy any canon camera. On the positive side, this camera took good pictures till it worked.
Need repair again (second time) August 24, 2007

I had a S45 and after loving that camera and quite frankly beating the heck out of it taking photos of two kids and needed a new one. I am now needing repair for the second time. After buying the canon camera bag, I managed to drop it after having it for all of three weeks and the lense cracked. Now 13 months later I can't get the lense cover to close. Very frustrating.
