After my good old IXUS 50 was dropped had to be a new. The only currently available camera that could use my old accessories (NB-4L battery, leather case), the IXUS was 80. It was not a marriage of love, only replacement I needed (So:. Me rich 5M pixels) What came next was quite disappointing. Judging by the IXUS 50 camera was processed significantly cheaper (Well, it was also cheaper ...). The image noise was barely noticeable in the IXUS 50, is now fierce and disturbing. Little has changed on the habitual operation logic. The switches are now, however, no longer so smooth to operate. The display also provides information about the aperture and ISO sensitivity are now displayed. Some technical improvements such as image stabilization, face detection are useful gimmicks, but before that I had not really missed. The video clips are now stored in an improved format (unofficially AVI 2) (16-bit audio), but unfortunately this standardized format 10 years ago (OpenDML AVI File Format Extensions) has not yet arrived in most programming Video Software. Since there are now problems when playing on the PC. After a few days but then fell on the blue dot in the image that emerged as CCD sensor error. Warranty. To sum up, the camera is not as good as the IXUS 50 and at most mediocre in their performance. In particular, the image quality could not convince me.
