The 8MP Canon PowerShot S80 is the latest iteration of the company's "Goldilocks" cameras. It's not a simple point-and-shoot digicam neither is it as complicated as a D-SLR. It's supposed to be just right, targeted to the photographer looking for a high-quality camera that's easy to use but has enough tweaks to keep dial spinners happy. This compact camera is the replacement for the soon-to-be discontinued 7.1MP S70. Among the good features of the S80 are a wide focal length (28mm), higher movie clip quality, a real-time histogram and enough shooting modes to handle almost anything you can throw at it. It is a bit on the expensive side ($549 list, under $500 real world). Now how does it work in the real world?

When you first get the S80 out of the box, you know at once where that money went. The initial impression is of sleek style and superb build quality. It's quite a chunky camera, and surprisingly heavy for its size. It measures 104 x 57 x 38.8mm and weighs a hefty 225g minus the battery and card, so you're not going to be carrying it in your shirt pocket, unless your shirts are made out of Kevlar... ;-)
