`
`FINISHED CHALLENGES
`
`Just over a year after the launch of the 7 megapixel PowerShot S70 Canon revealed its
`replacement, the new S80, which boasts a slight redesign, an extra million pixels and a few
`new features - including the latest DIGIC II processor. The S80 is smaller and lighter than
`the S70 yet it packs a much larger (2.5") wide viewing angle LCD monitor, a control wheel /
`4-way controller, XGA video capture (15 fps), USB 2.0 High-speed and SD/MMC storage.
`Some may, however, be a little disappointed to hear that RAW capture has been dropped.

`The fixed lens camera market may be a bit niche, but it's
`here that you'll find some of the best cameras you can buy.
`Sensors ranging from APS-C to full-frame are designed to
`match their lenses, which cover ranges from 28-75mm
`equivalent, so image quality is top-notch.

`
`FINISHED CHALLENGES
`
`The S80 continues the evolution of the 'S' series (which goes back to late 2001), retaining
`the familiar oblong shape and sliding lens cover. There's been some fairly significant
`changes since the S70 - the body is about 10mm shorter, the screen is a lot larger (2.5-
`inches versus 1.8-inches) and there's been a major re-think of the external control layout,
`with a new mode dial and rotating control dial, a very welcome button for setting ISO and
`yet another new design of zoom control. From a design point of view the S80 eschews the
`S70's matt-black all-over finish for a mixture of textured silver and high gloss (almost
`piano-style) black, with a couple of leather-finish rubber accents. Like its predecessors the
`all-metal body is beautifully constructed and the whole thing exudes an air of luxury. In a
`sea of 'lookalike' plastic cameras the S80 is a real treat, and - as I discovered when using it
`out and about - something of a head-turner in it's own understated way.
`
`Although at first glance the S80 seems to be suffering from a serious plague of buttons,
`which can make it a slightly daunting camera to begin with. Spend some time with the S80
`however, and you soon start to appreciate the level of control on offer - and how rarely
`you need to use menus in everyday photography.

`Canon PowerShot S80 Review: Digital Photography Review
`
`The S80 sits very comfortably in the hand, with the subtle finger grip on the front of the
`body offering just enough 'hold' for single-handed operation. That said, the new thumb-
`operated zoom control is a little fiddly, almost impossible if you're trying to shoot with one
`hand, and if you don't support the camera with your left hand it's a little too easy to
`accidentally press one of the many buttons that sit under your thumb. As with most
`cameras of this type you'll find it a lot easier to use - and a lot more stable - if you use both
`hands to support it.
`Body elements
`
`The S80's combined battery and SD card
`compartment is located in the base of
`the camera under a fairly sturdy (plastic)
`spring-bound door. Fortunately both
`battery and card have retaining clips, so
`you won't lose one when changing the
`other. The NB-2LH Lithium-Ion battery is
`good for around 200 shots (using the
`CIPA standard) with the LCD, 700 shots
`using the viewfinder.
`
`The sliding lens cover (which also acts as
`the power switch) is very smooth and
`clicks nicely into place at either end of
`its travel. You can power up the camera
`in playback (review) mode (without
`opening the lens cover) by pressing and
`holding the play button.
`
`As with the S70, the S80 sports that
`rarest of beasts; a true wideangle lens.
`The 28-100mm equiv. range is one of
`the most useful - photographically
`speaking - you'll find on any compact
`camera. It's nice and bright (F2.8) at the
`wide end, though the F5.3 maximum
`aperture at the long end is less
`impressive - and will limit its usefulness
`in low light.
`
`The camera's connections (mini USB and
`A/V output) are hidden under a plastic
`door with a rather flimsy rubberized
`hinge.
`
`The small built-in flash offers the usual
`options (on/off/auto) and red-eye
`reduction (using the AF illuminator
`lamp). There is a +/- 2.0 flash output

`Canon PowerShot S80 Review: Digital Photography Review
`
`control and - by switching to the night
`scene mode - you can use slow synch
`flash too. The range is pretty normal for
`this type of camera (14 ft at the wide
`end, 6.6 ft at the tele end, ISO 100), and
`we experienced no problems when
`shooting quite close - the flash seems to
`throttle down well.
`
`The 2.5-inch screen has fewer pixels
`than the S70's 1.8-inch LCD (115,000
`versus 118,000), which is a pity. To be
`fair the screen is excellent - bright, not
`very reflective (so glare is fairly low), and
`it has a very wide viewing angle. Of
`course stretching so few pixels over a
`2.5-inch screen means the picture isn't
`as clear as we'd like, but it has a fast
`refresh rate and exhibits no lag. The
`screen also gains up well in low light.
`
`The viewfinder is the standard compact
`camera 'optical tunnel' type with no
`dioptre adjustment or parallax
`correction lines - it also only shows 80%
`of the scene. It's also small, not that
`clear and - as with all cameras of this
`type - only likely to be used when
`battery life is an issue or in very bright
`direct sunlight. The LED lamps to the left
`of the viewfinder eyepiece indicate
`camera status including auto focus lock,
`camera shake warning and flash status.
`
`One of the major design changes over
`the S70 is the positioning of the main
`mode dial, which now pokes out of the
`right side of the camera. From here you
`can quickly switch between Auto,
`Program, Tv, Av, Manual, Custom, and
`Scene shooting modes, plus movies,
`stitch-assist and my colors. To the left of
`the mode dial is the new zoom rocker,
`and just below you can see the new ISO
`button.
`
`The other new control on the S80 takes
`some getting used to, but once
`mastered proves to be a very space-
`efficient way of offering lots of
`functionality. The 'Multi Control' dial acts
`as a standard four-way controller if you
`press it at the standard 12, 3, 6 and 9
`o'clock positions, allowing you to
`navigate menus. It also gives direct
`access to macro, flash, ISO and manual
`focus in playback mode. Finally the ring
`section turns, for scrolling through
`menus and changing settings.
`
`The shutter release, which sits alone on
`the top of the camera, has a very
`positive 'half press' point, making pre-
`focus a breeze.
`
`A final couple of buttons sit to the left of
`
`Fotodiox's new EF to L-
`mount adapter features AF,
`aperture and image
`stabilization support
`
`The new EF to L-Mount 'Fusion' adapter offers full
`EXIF data support, as well as communication
`protocols to support autofocus, aperture control
`and image stabilization on supported lenses.
