Canon’s PowerShot S80 joins the wide-angle optical zoom S-series lineup ranking above its predecessor, the PowerShot S70 released in September 2004, with the incorporation of significant advancements. Equipped with an 8.0-megapixel CCD sensor in combination with a glass-molded Ultra-high refractive index Aspherical (UA) lens, the S80 realizes exceptional image quality. The 3.6x wide-angle optical zoom, realizing a zoom range equivalent to 28-100 mm in the 35 mm format, allows users the flexibility to shoot everything from sweeping landscapes to close-up portraits.
The employment of a new multi-control dial and omni selector makes possible high-speed operation during image playback or mode selection. Contributing to enhanced operability and easier visibility, the Canon PowerShot S80 incorporates a large 2.5″ LCD screen and improved user interface display. Additionally, the S80 is the first* digital camera to support XGA-resolution (1,024 x 768 pixels) movie recording. The camera defies its slim, compact body design to provide users enhanced performance and functionality.
