I bought the canon ixus 80 is two days ago and so far, i'm very pleased with it.The camera is very compact and more attractive in sight than the web.The picture quality is amazing as well as the numerous applications which enhance the beauty of photographs taken.Definately worth every penny spent on it and more! Goes nicely with the leather Canon case for the ixus series.Also purchased that and very pleased with both purchases.However, a memory card is needed because the 32mb which comes with the camera is insufficient.More memory is needed.

I've been on the look-out for a while, for a compact that I can slip into my pocket, and yet which has good features and is capable of taking excellent shots. This one just ticks all the boxes; it oozes quality, fits in the palm of my hand and yet does not feel flimsy. I am still learning to use all the features (of which there are plenty), but if you just want to point and shoot, then this can do that too. Delighted with the early results! Pleased too, that there is a viewfinder, as well as a 2.5" screen. Buy the accompanying IXUS leather pouch too, it's beautifully made in leather with a nifty magnetic catch. It does not, in my opionion, significantly increase the dimensions of the camera, but is worth the extra protection if you keep your camera in your pocket, bag, etc.
If you're after a quality compact that is solidly made and has plenty of features, you can't go far wrong with this one. I agree that the supplied card is next to useless with its 32mb capacity, but with SD cards readily available (2G at £3 or £4) it does not cost the earth to have huge capacity.

I bought this as an alternative to my Digital SLR as I wanted something more compact that could be fitted into my pocket while giving me great pictures. Thats just what I got, light weight and compact with a gorgeous design to it (which is available in 4 colours). Most importantly the picture quality is great, I love the face detection feature, along with the motion detection and optical image stabilize technology work really well together to produce clear effortless pictures with minimal noise and blur.
I took it away on holiday with me and I got some great distance shots with it, as well as having a great close up (macro) feature. It also performed well during a concert I went too using the Optical Zoom.
I'd recommend the Canon Digital IXUS Leather case, this model of camera fits in it great and it looks the part, I've had so many compliments about how nice the case is. I also purchased a 2 GB memory card, as if your like me I like to take lots of pictures without having to worry about running out of space.
Great camera for those who want an easy to use compact camera to snap away with, with great results.
