Canon Powershot A80
The Canon Powershot A80, released in 2003, was an upgrade from one of the Canon’s most popular models ever–the Powershot A70. The major improvements in the A80 are a higher megapixel count (4.0) and the swiveling LCD screen–perfect for concert shots where you must hold the camera above your head to get a picture.
This digital camera received high marks from reviewers for its relative low cost, ease of use and photo quality. It also offers full manual controls and the ability to switch camera lenses.
Some have critized the Powershot A80 for being a bit too bulky–it definitely won’t fit in your pocket. However, it’s a great introductory digital camera for the budding photographer with enough options to keep an advanced novice interested.
Canon has continued to evolve its Powershot series and no longer manufacturs the Powershot A80.
