very cost effective and excellent picture, 17 Nov 2008
I bought this camera a month ago and used during recent holiday to Switzerland. This takes excellent picture even from running train in auto mode and very handy. I am really pleased with this product!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After a friend dropped my Sony DSC-W80 on the floor, it took me ages to find a replacement. After weeks of investigative work, trials, I chose the Canon IXUS 80 IS (image stabilisation). In the running were more expensive(!) cameras from Sony, Panasonic and Nikon.

The order was placed with Amazon, included free delivery and turned up quicker than I expected.

I've now played with the 80 IS for a few days now and I can report that the battery life is very good (probably a match for the Sony). The picture quality on any MP setting is excellent. I can't tell if there is any purple fringing with this camera (even with zoom) at all and even if you keep the picutres at max 8MP with minimal zoom you can easily edit out and still retain near perfect pictures anyway.

I'd say this camera is better than the Sony (just) for auto work, as the Sony had loads of manual settings. With the Canon you have to find them to use them.

For those that do party shots, pub shots, night shots - this is one excellent camera. Even in complete darkness shots you can prime the target by depressing the shoot button slightly (a redish light will appear to allow the auto focus to work) - then simply despress the button all the way to take the shot. Really impressive and much better than the Sony.

For me shutter times day or night - - are really important. I like to be able to power up, aim at my target and depress the shutter button. Picure taken. If I'm honest I couldn't rely on the Sony for this - - but I am with the Canon.

Of course you could spend a few more pounds and get a 10mp or 14.7mp panny DMC150 camera but for now - for all round abilty this is hard to beat. And it's cheap as chips and for Canon to be selling them at this price it's a steal.

When i first started looking for a compact digital camera for christmas, i was startled by the vast amount of Cameras available. Of a price range of under £200, after alot of research i chose this Canon IXUS 80 IS which is the best. I looked at it in the store compared to some good competators. Many people have said that it has an amazing picture quality and it does!!! absaloutley stunning and sharp. I admit that the zoom could be abit more and due to its small size it has to conpensate with a smaller screen but other than that this camera is absaloutly brilliant. I love the face detection and the image staberliser. The menus are easy...most people find that whenever looking at digital cameras, you are usually fased by the complexicity but i recomend that with this camera you take abit of time of getting used to the buttons and looking through the menus. I got used to it very quickly as it is one of the easiest.

Now to the style, this camera is a must have style icon...all my friends are buying them. Although it is not the best in Canon's IXUS range, it is a total little bundle of fun if you want a excellant quality camera that will vertually fit into any pocket or purse. You can take it anywhere with it VERY long battery life and it fast shutter speed. It is a brilliant point and shoot camera.

Although, it comes with a not so good 32mb memory card....what is the point? that will only be able to take about 5-6pictures! :S You need to get a new one and they sell them cheapely from amazon with their own cases. Also, it does not come with a case/bag so you should (if you want) buy a camera case to protect its beautiful shoney surface. I bought a beautiful leather one off amazon for very cheap. But you can also get different colour ones depending on what the colour of your Canon IXUS 80 IS is.
But it does come with all the things that you need ie. software, usb etc.

BUY IT!

Light, compact and easy to use: the new Cyber-shot DSC-S730 is a great entry point to the world of digital photography! The DSC-S730 is remarkably affordable, but doesnt compromise on image quality. It lets you grab clear, blur-free photos thanks to its easy handling and user-friendly controls. Youll be able to set up shots, check results, share your photos and read menus on its 2.4 LCD display, even in full sunlight. The DSC-S730 comes with a 7-megapixel Super HAD CCD sensor that takes amazingly bright and colourful photos, and has a 3x optical zoom and ISO 1250 sensitivity mode, so you can take pictures at faster shutter speeds to reduce the risk of camera shake, even with moving subjects. If youre after a camera with great all-round performances, the DSC-S730 is just what you need.

Good but batteries !!, 17 Nov 2008
Paid £70 a couple of months ago from Amazon. Good value camera for the money, takes excellent pics and video but can only use standard batts which don't last that long.Say 20 to 50 pics depending. Can't use rechargeables.
Pity as brilliant otherwise.

Battery life not a problem - get hi-power rechargeables, 21 Oct 2008
Battery life is not a problem. Get hi-power rechargeables. Sony do branded ones (even available in larger branches of Tesco!!). I personally use Energizer Advanced rechargeables with a rated capacity of 2500 mAh. They last about 100 shots per pair. I recharge them with an Energizer 15 minute recharger (actually takes about 20 minutes! - and the batteries come out HOT - so I leave another minute or too before putting back in the camera). I suggest other reviewers are using cheap, low-capacity batteries or mediocre disposables. I took three sets of batteries (one pair in the camera, + 4 in the little packet you buy them in (suitable re-taped to hold it together) on my recent trip to Russia - I had no problems with battery life at all!!

Batteries? cant see the problem, 02 Oct 2008
This series of cameras are very good. My daughter ( whos 2) threw mine in the bin when i wasnt looking and it gor thrown out ! anyway, despite what some have been saying, I use rechargeable AA batteries for my Sony Cybershots and have done for 4 years ! They are so much better than non rechargeable and far more eco friendly Far more. Buy two or three packs of recahrgeables so you always have a spare and you will be ok. Best Sound quality on a small camera mic there is !

Great camera, excellent value, 04 Sep 2008
I bought this camera after being impressed by the picture quality of the cybershot photos on my sony mobile phone.
The camera is really easy to use, i prefer to use the auto setting and my photos always turn out well.
It can take a fair amount of punishment. I have dropped it countless times on nights out and even had drinks spilled on it and it still looks and works perfectly.
If you are looking for an easy to use camera that gives you great quality pictures every time then this is the camera for you.

If you can?t decide whether to get a compact or a reflex camera, then the FinePix S5800 is just what you need! With the FinePix S5800, you can have the best of both worlds! This camera comes with a host of unique Fujifilm technologies, such as an 8-megapixel CCD sensor, ISO 1600 light sensitivity and a 10x optical zoom for pin-sharp shots even when you?re taking photos of moving subjects. The S5800 is also great for picking out details in the distance because its has a focal range going up to 380 mm, meaning everything from close-ups of flora and fauna to wide, sweeping landscapes are within its reach. You can access its range of scene modes and settings directly on its 2.5? LCD screen, and record all those special occasions such as graduations, weddings, family holidays and school sports days in complete confidence!

bargain internet buy, 30 Oct 2008
ilooked around for a good easy to work camara for the wife to use on a day trip, this was the one she wanted as it felt good to hold and easy to work with its easy auto settings. comes with a sholder strap and also you get a lens cap, plus normal energizer non rechargable batterys but i would use 2500mah energizer aa rechargables or better as this camara drinks batterys for a living and takes 4 aa size ones. also comes with a well thought out user manual if you wish to set this up for better shots and settings. this feels well made and takes xd or standard sd or hc sd cards in the one slot. some might find it a bit on the big size but i like it as i alway manage to brake all my camaras zoom lens on the small compacts this as no pop out zoom lens just built in zoom on a big len so is perfect for me.

this s5800 take clear nice shots on auto settings. as a pop up flash that i thought was prity cool as i did not know this when i brought it from asda as there demo had no batterys in in the shop. amazons price is a bit cheaper than asda's but not by much just £10 less, but to be fair asda gave me 50 free photo printouts and a keyring to use in there print shop with there deal and i would could not chance item in the post and needed it that same day plus i like to look at my camaras before i buy, also with the asda deal it was covered by there no messing 1 year cover and 30 day change your mind deal. so if you want a good price amazon is the one with free delivery of 3 days, if you want it now and live near a asda store go and get one there with free photo prints and there money back warranty.

as you will see by other reviews a lot of people can't be wrong as it as a good feedback responce and i for one would recommend it anyday. 9/10 only because it needs four top spec rechargable batterys or a dc adapter as its power hungry.

get one, its a super bargain.

Impressive, 29 Oct 2008
Decided to upgrade from my Kodak 3mp + 3x zoom before my holiday to Egypt.Glad I did - results have been stunning. Camera looks good , and is surprisingly easy to hold and use,even one-handed. Took a bit of time to go through the instructions,which are not difficult to pick up, although almost 1000 shots later, there are still options /facilities I have yet to explore. The large viewfinder is great,(although inclined to attract fingerprints),and the onscreen crop+copy lets me preview and select/reject
shots easily, even with my fading eyesight.
The picture quality is great, and the 8mps makes for great clarity even at high zoom. The zoom is easy to use and the anti shake setting ensures that even 10x zoom remains clear in moderate light conditions.
I was totally enthusiastic until taking it to a wedding on a dull day at the weekend, when I really had to use the flash extensively for the first time. Although the camera can take quite reasonable pictures in low light without flash,I set it both to auto flash ,then forced flash to make sure I got clarity in key bride and groom shots. These proved erratic, with the camera "choosing" to take the shots without flash,at slower shutter speeds, with the results being a bit unclear and fuzzy.
Luckily I had my Kodak in my pocket as backup, and the contrast between the 2 cameras in this situation was striking with the Kodak well on top in terms of clarity and colour tone. Think I'll need to go back to the manual to see what can be done.
Nevertheless, I'm still delighted with the camera which gives great outdoor shots with stunning zoom facilities at almost SLR standards , for an extremely reasonable price (which has just dropped a further 20% since I got it.)

Excellent camera , 27 Oct 2008
I've had this camera for a few weeks now and brought it specifically because I wanted to step up a grade with my photography as I was expecting my first Grandchild. I have to say I have not been disappointed. The camera is extremely easy to use on auto but also has several more "professional" settings to suit various conditions - all easy to understand and use. Just take the time to read the easy to follow instruction booklet that comes with the camera and follow the automatic guides on the camera itself. The quality of the pictures is excellent in all the modes. Some of the portraits that I have taken and subsequently enlarged and printed on my home PC/printer actually look quite professional. I purchased card reader separately that makes it extremely easy to download, burn onto CD and print the pictures. I have also used the camera on video mode and the results were also excellent. I highly recommend this camera to anyone who wants to step up a level or two from taking snaps on a pocket digital camera. This camera is bigger than the average digi camera and won't fit in your pocket but the standard of the pictures makes it well worth the minor inconvenience of carrying this slighly larger camera about with youFujifilm FinePix S5800 Digital Camera - Black (8.0MP, 10x Optical Zoom).

very low shutter lag, good image quality, but some niggles, 03 Sep 2008
First time in years I have owned a camera, took it out yesterday and managed to snap a couple of lightning strikes, which is nice.

A problem I found is the autofocus works most of the time, but if there's something wrong with the scene pointed at, probably not enough contrast like dark clouds waiting for lightning, it fails completely. It does have a manual focus, which I checked before buying, but that's so unusable, it's almost as if they deliberatly designed it so badly to stop you using it, and it's only available in a mode that forces you to choose either the aperture or shutter speed, or both, if you want manual focus then you're obviously a pro who doesn't want the auto mode.

An easier way to get it to focus properly is to prefocus on a scene that works at the same distance, then while keeping the button half pressed point at the target and then shoot.



Brilliant Camera , 21 Aug 2008
Received The Fugi S5800 Camera from Amazon and have been very impressed with it,was very pleased to see the owers manual was in English, and it also had a quick start sheet with just the basic instructions,the few photos I have taken so far have been of a lovely quality, this camera is ideal for those who like me wanted a better zoom than you get with the normal digital but did not want to get into a very expensive range,I have gone through the features and found them easy to follow, a super camera at a great price.

Sony has added to its popular CyberShot W range with the ultra compact, wide angle DSC-W170 camera. Thanks to its automatic face recognition and scene modes, you''ll be able to take perfect shots in a snap! It has a 10-megapixel sensor with a Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens, a BIONZ processor and an optical image stabiliser, guaranteeing faster response times and sharp pictures that are bursting with colour! It also has a high sensitivity that goes up to 3200 ISO and a D-Range optimiser, which adapts to different lighting conditions to automatically adjust exposure and contrast levels. Sony makes intelligent photography with professional results available to everyone with the DSC-W170!

After a friend dropped my Sony DSC-W80 on the floor, it took me ages to find a replacement. After weeks of investigative work, trials, I chose the Canon IXUS 80 IS (image stabilisation). In the running were more expensive(!) cameras from Sony, Panasonic and Nikon.

The order was placed with Amazon, included free delivery and turned up quicker than I expected.

I've now played with the 80 IS for a few days now and I can report that the battery life is very good (probably a match for the Sony). The picture quality on any MP setting is excellent. I can't tell if there is any purple fringing with this camera (even with zoom) at all and even if you keep the picutres at max 8MP with minimal zoom you can easily edit out and still retain near perfect pictures anyway.

I'd say this camera is better than the Sony (just) for auto work, as the Sony had loads of manual settings. With the Canon you have to find them to use them.

For those that do party shots, pub shots, night shots - this is one excellent camera. Even in complete darkness shots you can prime the target by depressing the shoot button slightly (a redish light will appear to allow the auto focus to work) - then simply despress the button all the way to take the shot. Really impressive and much better than the Sony.

For me shutter times day or night - - are really important. I like to be able to power up, aim at my target and depress the shutter button. Picure taken. If I'm honest I couldn't rely on the Sony for this - - but I am with the Canon.

Of course you could spend a few more pounds and get a 10mp or 14.7mp panny DMC150 camera but for now - for all round abilty this is hard to beat. And it's cheap as chips and for Canon to be selling them at this price it's a steal.



The Best, 29 Oct 2008
When i first started looking for a compact digital camera for christmas, i was startled by the vast amount of Cameras available. Of a price range of under £200, after alot of research i chose this Canon IXUS 80 IS which is the best. I looked at it in the store compared to some good competators. Many people have said that it has an amazing picture quality and it does!!! absaloutley stunning and sharp. I admit that the zoom could be abit more and due to its small size it has to conpensate with a smaller screen but other than that this camera is absaloutly brilliant. I love the face detection and the image staberliser. The menus are easy...most people find that whenever looking at digital cameras, you are usually fased by the complexicity but i recomend that with this camera you take abit of time of getting used to the buttons and looking through the menus. I got used to it very quickly as it is one of the easiest.

Now to the style, this camera is a must have style icon...all my friends are buying them. Although it is not the best in Canon's IXUS range, it is a total little bundle of fun if you want a excellant quality camera that will vertually fit into any pocket or purse. You can take it anywhere with it VERY long battery life and it fast shutter speed. It is a brilliant point and shoot camera.

Although, it comes with a not so good 32mb memory card....what is the point? that will only be able to take about 5-6pictures! :S You need to get a new one and they sell them cheapely from amazon with their own cases. Also, it does not come with a case/bag so you should (if you want) buy a camera case to protect its beautiful shoney surface. I bought a beautiful leather one off amazon for very cheap. But you can also get different colour ones depending on what the colour of your Canon IXUS 80 IS is.
But it does come with all the things that you need ie. software, usb etc.

BUY IT!

Good but batteries !!, 17 Nov 2008
Paid £70 a couple of months ago from Amazon. Good value camera for the money, takes excellent pics and video but can only use standard batts which don't last that long.Say 20 to 50 pics depending. Can't use rechargeables.
Pity as brilliant otherwise.

Battery life not a problem - get hi-power rechargeables, 21 Oct 2008
Battery life is not a problem. Get hi-power rechargeables. Sony do branded ones (even available in larger branches of Tesco!!). I personally use Energizer Advanced rechargeables with a rated capacity of 2500 mAh. They last about 100 shots per pair. I recharge them with an Energizer 15 minute recharger (actually takes about 20 minutes! - and the batteries come out HOT - so I leave another minute or too before putting back in the camera). I suggest other reviewers are using cheap, low-capacity batteries or mediocre disposables. I took three sets of batteries (one pair in the camera, + 4 in the little packet you buy them in (suitable re-taped to hold it together) on my recent trip to Russia - I had no problems with battery life at all!!

Batteries? cant see the problem, 02 Oct 2008
This series of cameras are very good. My daughter ( whos 2) threw mine in the bin when i wasnt looking and it gor thrown out ! anyway, despite what some have been saying, I use rechargeable AA batteries for my Sony Cybershots and have done for 4 years ! They are so much better than non rechargeable and far more eco friendly Far more. Buy two or three packs of recahrgeables so you always have a spare and you will be ok. Best Sound quality on a small camera mic there is !

Great camera, excellent value, 04 Sep 2008
I bought this camera after being impressed by the picture quality of the cybershot photos on my sony mobile phone.
The camera is really easy to use, i prefer to use the auto setting and my photos always turn out well.
It can take a fair amount of punishment. I have dropped it countless times on nights out and even had drinks spilled on it and it still looks and works perfectly.
If you are looking for an easy to use camera that gives you great quality pictures every time then this is the camera for you.

bargain internet buy, 30 Oct 2008
ilooked around for a good easy to work camara for the wife to use on a day trip, this was the one she wanted as it felt good to hold and easy to work with its easy auto settings. comes with a sholder strap and also you get a lens cap, plus normal energizer non rechargable batterys but i would use 2500mah energizer aa rechargables or better as this camara drinks batterys for a living and takes 4 aa size ones. also comes with a well thought out user manual if you wish to set this up for better shots and settings. this feels well made and takes xd or standard sd or hc sd cards in the one slot. some might find it a bit on the big size but i like it as i alway manage to brake all my camaras zoom lens on the small compacts this as no pop out zoom lens just built in zoom on a big len so is perfect for me.

this s5800 take clear nice shots on auto settings. as a pop up flash that i thought was prity cool as i did not know this when i brought it from asda as there demo had no batterys in in the shop. amazons price is a bit cheaper than asda's but not by much just £10 less, but to be fair asda gave me 50 free photo printouts and a keyring to use in there print shop with there deal and i would could not chance item in the post and needed it that same day plus i like to look at my camaras before i buy, also with the asda deal it was covered by there no messing 1 year cover and 30 day change your mind deal. so if you want a good price amazon is the one with free delivery of 3 days, if you want it now and live near a asda store go and get one there with free photo prints and there money back warranty.

as you will see by other reviews a lot of people can't be wrong as it as a good feedback responce and i for one would recommend it anyday. 9/10 only because it needs four top spec rechargable batterys or a dc adapter as its power hungry.

get one, its a super bargain.

Impressive, 29 Oct 2008
Decided to upgrade from my Kodak 3mp + 3x zoom before my holiday to Egypt.Glad I did - results have been stunning. Camera looks good , and is surprisingly easy to hold and use,even one-handed. Took a bit of time to go through the instructions,which are not difficult to pick up, although almost 1000 shots later, there are still options /facilities I have yet to explore. The large viewfinder is great,(although inclined to attract fingerprints),and the onscreen crop+copy lets me preview and select/reject
shots easily, even with my fading eyesight.
The picture quality is great, and the 8mps makes for great clarity even at high zoom. The zoom is easy to use and the anti shake setting ensures that even 10x zoom remains clear in moderate light conditions.
I was totally enthusiastic until taking it to a wedding on a dull day at the weekend, when I really had to use the flash extensively for the first time. Although the camera can take quite reasonable pictures in low light without flash,I set it both to auto flash ,then forced flash to make sure I got clarity in key bride and groom shots. These proved erratic, with the camera "choosing" to take the shots without flash,at slower shutter speeds, with the results being a bit unclear and fuzzy.
Luckily I had my Kodak in my pocket as backup, and the contrast between the 2 cameras in this situation was striking with the Kodak well on top in terms of clarity and colour tone. Think I'll need to go back to the manual to see what can be done.
Nevertheless, I'm still delighted with the camera which gives great outdoor shots with stunning zoom facilities at almost SLR standards , for an extremely reasonable price (which has just dropped a further 20% since I got it.)

Excellent camera , 27 Oct 2008
I've had this camera for a few weeks now and brought it specifically because I wanted to step up a grade with my photography as I was expecting my first Grandchild. I have to say I have not been disappointed. The camera is extremely easy to use on auto but also has several more "professional" settings to suit various conditions - all easy to understand and use. Just take the time to read the easy to follow instruction booklet that comes with the camera and follow the automatic guides on the camera itself. The quality of the pictures is excellent in all the modes. Some of the portraits that I have taken and subsequently enlarged and printed on my home PC/printer actually look quite professional. I purchased card reader separately that makes it extremely easy to download, burn onto CD and print the pictures. I have also used the camera on video mode and the results were also excellent. I highly recommend this camera to anyone who wants to step up a level or two from taking snaps on a pocket digital camera. This camera is bigger than the average digi camera and won't fit in your pocket but the standard of the pictures makes it well worth the minor inconvenience of carrying this slighly larger camera about with youFujifilm FinePix S5800 Digital Camera - Black (8.0MP, 10x Optical Zoom).

very low shutter lag, good image quality, but some niggles, 03 Sep 2008
First time in years I have owned a camera, took it out yesterday and managed to snap a couple of lightning strikes, which is nice.

A problem I found is the autofocus works most of the time, but if there's something wrong with the scene pointed at, probably not enough contrast like dark clouds waiting for lightning, it fails completely. It does have a manual focus, which I checked before buying, but that's so unusable, it's almost as if they deliberatly designed it so badly to stop you using it, and it's only available in a mode that forces you to choose either the aperture or shutter speed, or both, if you want manual focus then you're obviously a pro who doesn't want the auto mode.

An easier way to get it to focus properly is to prefocus on a scene that works at the same distance, then while keeping the button half pressed point at the target and then shoot.

Received The Fugi S5800 Camera from Amazon and have been very impressed with it,was very pleased to see the owers manual was in English, and it also had a quick start sheet with just the basic instructions,the few photos I have taken so far have been of a lovely quality, this camera is ideal for those who like me wanted a better zoom than you get with the normal digital but did not want to get into a very expensive range,I have gone through the features and found them easy to follow, a super camera at a great price.

Not recommend, 02 Nov 2008
I bought this camera,it has many problems.
1.You cant charge battery inside the camera,every charge you have to take out of camera to charge in the charger,and put it back again in the camera.
2.It does not charge from usb cable via pc,where as most cameras charge battery via usb too.
3.Its USB cable is typical n expensive
4.Its memeory card is also not compatible with any printer or pc sockets.
5.Lense result also average and moody
6.If you lost very bulky and expensive charger no other way to charge the battery
7.New cameras in this price must have 3" LCD,it has only 2.7
8.You cant use SD card in this camera and have to buy expensive special memory card,not supplied with camera.

Totally satisfied, 28 Oct 2008
This is a super camera. Easy to use, lovely bright images on the large screen, excellent output for prints or just to enjoy viewing on TV or PC. Many facilities that I have yet to explore. Just set it to 'Auto' and let it do the work for you. Negative features? There aren't any. Sony high quality, solid build and delivered by Amazon with their usual efficiency.

This best thing about this camera is the wide-angle lense and zoom capability. Of course it's good to have 10 mega pixels if you intend to print A3 size prints but, for every day use, 3mp or 5mp is more than enough. I use this Sony W170 digital camera as a back-up for my Sony F828 which is a large SLR type of digital camera for professional use. In terms of picture quality I can see no difference. The larger camera cost over £500 a two years ago and this Sony W170 is only about £130 today. To quote an earlier reviewer "Isn't technology good these days". I agree.

Panasonic has stepped into the world of high definition videos with the Lumix DMC-TZ5. The Lumix DMC-TZ5 has a 28 mm wide-angle setting to fit sweeping landscapes into a single frame, and a telephoto setting to pull in subjects from far away and capture even the subtlest details in facial expressions. It records video in 720p and is equipped with a 10-megapixel sensor, with a high sensitivity range going up to 6400 ISO and a light detection system with several levels. Gone are the days of problems caused by backlighting and overexposure, because the Panasonic TZ5 comes with a Mega O.I.S image stabiliser and a 9-point AF focus, meaning you can pinpoint faces in photos and ensure subjects' natural skin tones are maintained. For backgrounds, the DMC-TZ5 has an intelligent flash with red-eye reduction and slow synchronisation modes, which help to prevent colour alteration. There is also a number of colour, scene and automatic modes, allowing you to really explore your creative side. As well as being compatible with Pictbrige, the Lumix DMC-TZ5 also has an HD audio/video output so you can enjoy your creations on an HD TV using an optional component video cable.

very cost effective and excellent picture, 17 Nov 2008
I bought this camera a month ago and used during recent holiday to Switzerland. This takes excellent picture even from running train in auto mode and very handy. I am really pleased with this product!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If anyone can.., 12 Nov 2008
After a friend dropped my Sony DSC-W80 on the floor, it took me ages to find a replacement. After weeks of investigative work, trials, I chose the Canon IXUS 80 IS (image stabilisation). In the running were more expensive(!) cameras from Sony, Panasonic and Nikon.

The order was placed with Amazon, included free delivery and turned up quicker than I expected.

I've now played with the 80 IS for a few days now and I can report that the battery life is very good (probably a match for the Sony). The picture quality on any MP setting is excellent. I can't tell if there is any purple fringing with this camera (even with zoom) at all and even if you keep the picutres at max 8MP with minimal zoom you can easily edit out and still retain near perfect pictures anyway.

I'd say this camera is better than the Sony (just) for auto work, as the Sony had loads of manual settings. With the Canon you have to find them to use them.

For those that do party shots, pub shots, night shots - this is one excellent camera. Even in complete darkness shots you can prime the target by depressing the shoot button slightly (a redish light will appear to allow the auto focus to work) - then simply despress the button all the way to take the shot. Really impressive and much better than the Sony.

For me shutter times day or night - - are really important. I like to be able to power up, aim at my target and depress the shutter button. Picure taken. If I'm honest I couldn't rely on the Sony for this - - but I am with the Canon.

Of course you could spend a few more pounds and get a 10mp or 14.7mp panny DMC150 camera but for now - for all round abilty this is hard to beat. And it's cheap as chips and for Canon to be selling them at this price it's a steal.

I admit that the zoom could be abit more and due to its small size it has to conpensate with a smaller screen but other than that this camera is absaloutly brilliant.

Awful sound quality!, 10 Nov 2008
Whilst this camera takes decent but not outstanding pics, beware of the sound quality if you're thinking of buying it to take video clips at gigs.

Believe me, the poor quality of the sound will make your clips unuseable.

If you can get the thing to focus in the low light setting of a gig, you'll get a decent picture, but that's it.

If you can't get it to focus, you're left with a blur!(and yes, I have tried it with continuous auto focus on and off, and I've updated the firmware.

So,it's ok if you just want a point and shoot for every day snapping, but otherwise forget it!

Easy to use, excellent results, 26 Oct 2008
This was a present from my husband, and my first "serious" digital camera - and I love it!

Menu is very easy to use, very good results in the iA mode, but I also like playing about with the Scenes - using them more than I first thought I would to excellent effect.

I originally ordered the new Canon from QVC (about £220) and although it was very small, perhaps too small, I found the menu system confusing. After returning it I set about trying to find a replacement for the 4 year old Panasonic that stopped working (unusual for a Panasonic). Originally I was put off because the TZ5 is bigger than the smallest compacts more easily pocketable in a coat pocket than shirt pocket. I need not have have worried as the Pansonic is certainly easily carried around without being an encumbrance. My definition is "do you know you are carrying it" and the answer to this is "no". In its favour the menu system is easy, the wide angle is great and the zoom is fantastic for such a small camera. It's HD movie mode promises to be a bonus. It feels robust in use and because it's a little larger than the real "tinies" it's actually easier to use and handle. The large screen is very detailed and a great improvement in clarity (460k I believe, whatever that means)

After lots of research on suppliers I actually bought from Big City Digital (co.uk). I called them after a credit card query and got them easily and the camera and accessories arrived the following day, all at a price beating cost. I recommend both the supplier and the camera

Not bad, not perfect., 18 Oct 2008
The bad:

Nothing major thankfully, but....
The movies (all resolutions inc HiDef) are recorded in Apple MOV format, not Windows AVI, so not so many dvd players or tvs with card readers can play them nor can much standard PC software edit them. Apple's free "quick time" can PLAY them. Mac users should be happy I imagine.

The wrist strap has a hard-platic end piece that can "clink" against the camera case and be picked up when recording sound (yeah, picky I know).

Very thin lens iris cover. I think this is common to many compact cameras, but for one that otherwise feels good and "solid" in it's build quality, this is really lacking. I'm almost tempted to find a proper lens cover for it.

There are varying opinions on the net about it's low light performance. I would say that a lens that starts at F3.3 at 28mm is never going to be the best in low light. There are other (admittedly dearer) Lumix cameras that are better specced for that purpose.

If you buy an SDHC card, make sure it is "fast" enough. A cheap SD or SDHC card will make this feel like a "slow" camera. Not all class 6 cards are the same!

ALSO if you buy an SDHC card - and this may seem obvious - it won't work in a standard SD card reader. You'll need an SDHC card reader, or put up with using the USB connection between camera and PC. SDHC card readers can be had cheaply enough though.

The good:

Generally feels well built. Nice "proper" on/off, record/play and other buttons on the back. Proper hinged door concealing the USB and other connections (not one of those rubber things that never fits snugly again after being used a few times). Really good 3" LCD screen, though sometimes the photos look better on it than they do on your PC.

10x optical zoom, extendable to about 16 times optical if you drop the resolution (don't ask me how, but that's what the manual says). In effect, you're getting about a 28-280mm lens!

YOU CAN TAKE PHOTOS IN 3:2 FORMAT! YAY! No more getting the edges of your pics chopped off at the printers as 3:2 = 35mm Film scale like cameras from the olden days (LOL).

You can extract 2mb stills out of your 720p HD video clips (just press the shutter button whilst playing back your movie and it lets you save a still or group of consecutive stills on the memory card). On a sunny day, 2mb is fine for a 6x4" print.

In summary: Will probably last a bit longer than some cameras I have owned. Image quality fine. Built quality appears good. About right for the money. Am I a little underwhelmed after all the reaserch I put in before buying this camera? Slightly, but then maybe I should stop trying to pretend (as an ex SLR user), that a compact camera will ever match up to an SLR standard.

Smashing video, great photos, best of both worlds!, 18 Oct 2008
I did not buy his item from Amazon but would have done if I could have (they do not send electronic goods to Australia).

However, I value the Amazon reviews I read so decided to contribute myself.

I wanted to replace my Olympus MJU camera because the flas was too blinding and in certain conditions was late to fire causing a semi dark photo.

After some considerable research, I decided upon this Panasonic camera.

The video was probably the biggest attraction. My Canon Camcorder is digital but cumbersome and only records standard video. The idea of getting HD quality from a compact camera was too good to resist.

The 10x optical zoom also attracted me and the 9.1 megapixels is plenty over my required minimum of 6.

So how does the camera perform?

Very well actually, in fact it exceeded my expectations. The video is stunning and although I have no HD TV to play it back on (doh!) play back on my PC is better than I have from my Canon camcorder.

The photos are also very sharp and although not to the DSLR standard (but hey, it never said it was!) are excellent for my requirements.

There are plenty of options and features, too many for me to look at until I get time (ie never!).

The menu system took me a little while to get to grips with but once you see their logic, you're on a roll.

The camera is feaitly heavy, compared to my Olympus, but having said that it gives you a sense of grip when you hold it, I found.

The auto focus does struggle a little while zooming during a video shoot. However, in the past I never had the option to zoom with my compacts so I don't mind.

I read reports that the camera zoom sound is too loud and affects the recording. Well, not bothered me - yet!

One thing I really dislike about the autofocus (and my mobile phone does the same) is that a bright orange light is emitted and I find it actually disturbed my eyes in soe ocassions - perhaps it's just me. Also I found that I was not able to snap a photo of my baby without him being attracted by the light ... which ruined a chance shot and probably annoyed his eyes!

The flash is suitabaly bright but I dont find it blinding and it fires on cue!

Battery life was also a concern after a few reports but so far I am pleasantly pleased with it and cannot complain.

I was able to buy Transcend 16GB SDHC cards for high speed video storage and they work well. Obviously some would stick to Sandisk for performance but for those with a budget, Transcend did well.

My opinion of this camera is that it a great performer for video and stills, where some may fear it is going to be average on both. It might not be to everyone's tastes, but I find it excellent!

The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is the annoying autofocus light!

Now to get an HD TV! Well, to save up for one!

very cost effective and excellent picture, 17 Nov 2008
I bought this camera a month ago and used during recent holiday to Switzerland. This takes excellent picture even from running train in auto mode and very handy. I am really pleased with this product!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If anyone can.., 12 Nov 2008
After a friend dropped my Sony DSC-W80 on the floor, it took me ages to find a replacement. After weeks of investigative work, trials, I chose the Canon IXUS 80 IS (image stabilisation). In the running were more expensive(!) cameras from Sony, Panasonic and Nikon.

The order was placed with Amazon, included free delivery and turned up quicker than I expected.

I've now played with the 80 IS for a few days now and I can report that the battery life is very good (probably a match for the Sony). The picture quality on any MP setting is excellent. I can't tell if there is any purple fringing with this camera (even with zoom) at all and even if you keep the picutres at max 8MP with minimal zoom you can easily edit out and still retain near perfect pictures anyway.

I'd say this camera is better than the Sony (just) for auto work, as the Sony had loads of manual settings. With the Canon you have to find them to use them.

For those that do party shots, pub shots, night shots - this is one excellent camera. Even in complete darkness shots you can prime the target by depressing the shoot button slightly (a redish light will appear to allow the auto focus to work) - then simply despress the button all the way to take the shot. Really impressive and much better than the Sony.

For me shutter times day or night - - are really important. I like to be able to power up, aim at my target and depress the shutter button. Picure taken. If I'm honest I couldn't rely on the Sony for this - - but I am with the Canon.

Of course you could spend a few more pounds and get a 10mp or 14.7mp panny DMC150 camera but for now - for all round abilty this is hard to beat. And it's cheap as chips and for Canon to be selling them at this price it's a steal.



The Best, 29 Oct 2008
When i first started looking for a compact digital camera for christmas, i was startled by the vast amount of Cameras available. Of a price range of under £200, after alot of research i chose this Canon IXUS 80 IS which is the best. I looked at it in the store compared to some good competators. Many people have said that it has an amazing picture quality and it does!!! absaloutley stunning and sharp. I admit that the zoom could be abit more and due to its small size it has to conpensate with a smaller screen but other than that this camera is absaloutly brilliant. I love the face detection and the image staberliser. The menus are easy...most people find that whenever looking at digital cameras, you are usually fased by the complexicity but i recomend that with this camera you take abit of time of getting used to the buttons and looking through the menus. I got used to it very quickly as it is one of the easiest.

Now to the style, this camera is a must have style icon...all my friends are buying them. Although it is not the best in Canon's IXUS range, it is a total little bundle of fun if you want a excellant quality camera that will vertually fit into any pocket or purse. You can take it anywhere with it VERY long battery life and it fast shutter speed. It is a brilliant point and shoot camera.

Although, it comes with a not so good 32mb memory card....what is the point? that will only be able to take about 5-6pictures! :S You need to get a new one and they sell them cheapely from amazon with their own cases. Also, it does not come with a case/bag so you should (if you want) buy a camera case to protect its beautiful shoney surface. I bought a beautiful leather one off amazon for very cheap. But you can also get different colour ones depending on what the colour of your Canon IXUS 80 IS is.
But it does come with all the things that you need ie. software, usb etc.

BUY IT!

ITS BRILL

ABSALOUTLEY MINT! =]

i hope this helps
Cara .x =D:)

Good but batteries !!, 17 Nov 2008
Paid £70 a couple of months ago from Amazon. Good value camera for the money, takes excellent pics and video but can only use standard batts which don't last that long.Say 20 to 50 pics depending. Can't use rechargeables.
Pity as brilliant otherwise.

Battery life not a problem - get hi-power rechargeables, 21 Oct 2008
Battery life is not a problem. Get hi-power rechargeables. Sony do branded ones (even available in larger branches of Tesco!!). I personally use Energizer Advanced rechargeables with a rated capacity of 2500 mAh. They last about 100 shots per pair. I recharge them with an Energizer 15 minute recharger (actually takes about 20 minutes! - and the batteries come out HOT - so I leave another minute or too before putting back in the camera). I suggest other reviewers are using cheap, low-capacity batteries or mediocre disposables. I took three sets of batteries (one pair in the camera, + 4 in the little packet you buy them in (suitable re-taped to hold it together) on my recent trip to Russia - I had no problems with battery life at all!!

Batteries? cant see the problem, 02 Oct 2008
This series of cameras are very good. My daughter ( whos 2) threw mine in the bin when i wasnt looking and it gor thrown out ! anyway, despite what some have been saying, I use rechargeable AA batteries for my Sony Cybershots and have done for 4 years ! They are so much better than non rechargeable and far more eco friendly Far more. Buy two or three packs of recahrgeables so you always have a spare and you will be ok. Best Sound quality on a small camera mic there is !

Great camera, excellent value, 04 Sep 2008
I bought this camera after being impressed by the picture quality of the cybershot photos on my sony mobile phone.
The camera is really easy to use, i prefer to use the auto setting and my photos always turn out well.
It can take a fair amount of punishment. I have dropped it countless times on nights out and even had drinks spilled on it and it still looks and works perfectly.
If you are looking for an easy to use camera that gives you great quality pictures every time then this is the camera for you.

bargain internet buy, 30 Oct 2008
ilooked around for a good easy to work camara for the wife to use on a day trip, this was the one she wanted as it felt good to hold and easy to work with its easy auto settings. comes with a sholder strap and also you get a lens cap, plus normal energizer non rechargable batterys but i would use 2500mah energizer aa rechargables or better as this camara drinks batterys for a living and takes 4 aa size ones. also comes with a well thought out user manual if you wish to set this up for better shots and settings. this feels well made and takes xd or standard sd or hc sd cards in the one slot. some might find it a bit on the big size but i like it as i alway manage to brake all my camaras zoom lens on the small compacts this as no pop out zoom lens just built in zoom on a big len so is perfect for me.

this s5800 take clear nice shots on auto settings. as a pop up flash that i thought was prity cool as i did not know this when i brought it from asda as there demo had no batterys in in the shop. amazons price is a bit cheaper than asda's but not by much just £10 less, but to be fair asda gave me 50 free photo printouts and a keyring to use in there print shop with there deal and i would could not chance item in the post and needed it that same day plus i like to look at my camaras before i buy, also with the asda deal it was covered by there no messing 1 year cover and 30 day change your mind deal. so if you want a good price amazon is the one with free delivery of 3 days, if you want it now and live near a asda store go and get one there with free photo prints and there money back warranty.

as you will see by other reviews a lot of people can't be wrong as it as a good feedback responce and i for one would recommend it anyday. 9/10 only because it needs four top spec rechargable batterys or a dc adapter as its power hungry.

get one, its a super bargain.

Impressive, 29 Oct 2008
Decided to upgrade from my Kodak 3mp + 3x zoom before my holiday to Egypt.Glad I did - results have been stunning. Camera looks good , and is surprisingly easy to hold and use,even one-handed. Took a bit of time to go through the instructions,which are not difficult to pick up, although almost 1000 shots later, there are still options /facilities I have yet to explore. The large viewfinder is great,(although inclined to attract fingerprints),and the onscreen crop+copy lets me preview and select/reject
shots easily, even with my fading eyesight.
The picture quality is great, and the 8mps makes for great clarity even at high zoom. The zoom is easy to use and the anti shake setting ensures that even 10x zoom remains clear in moderate light conditions.
I was totally enthusiastic until taking it to a wedding on a dull day at the weekend, when I really had to use the flash extensively for the first time. Although the camera can take quite reasonable pictures in low light without flash,I set it both to auto flash ,then forced flash to make sure I got clarity in key bride and groom shots. These proved erratic, with the camera "choosing" to take the shots without flash,at slower shutter speeds, with the results being a bit unclear and fuzzy.
Luckily I had my Kodak in my pocket as backup, and the contrast between the 2 cameras in this situation was striking with the Kodak well on top in terms of clarity and colour tone. Think I'll need to go back to the manual to see what can be done.
Nevertheless, I'm still delighted with the camera which gives great outdoor shots with stunning zoom facilities at almost SLR standards , for an extremely reasonable price (which has just dropped a further 20% since I got it.)

Excellent camera , 27 Oct 2008
I've had this camera for a few weeks now and brought it specifically because I wanted to step up a grade with my photography as I was expecting my first Grandchild. I have to say I have not been disappointed. The camera is extremely easy to use on auto but also has several more "professional" settings to suit various conditions - all easy to understand and use. Just take the time to read the easy to follow instruction booklet that comes with the camera and follow the automatic guides on the camera itself. The quality of the pictures is excellent in all the modes. Some of the portraits that I have taken and subsequently enlarged and printed on my home PC/printer actually look quite professional. I purchased card reader separately that makes it extremely easy to download, burn onto CD and print the pictures. I have also used the camera on video mode and the results were also excellent. I highly recommend this camera to anyone who wants to step up a level or two from taking snaps on a pocket digital camera. This camera is bigger than the average digi camera and won't fit in your pocket but the standard of the pictures makes it well worth the minor inconvenience of carrying this slighly larger camera about with youFujifilm FinePix S5800 Digital Camera - Black (8.0MP, 10x Optical Zoom).

very low shutter lag, good image quality, but some niggles, 03 Sep 2008
First time in years I have owned a camera, took it out yesterday and managed to snap a couple of lightning strikes, which is nice.

A problem I found is the autofocus works most of the time, but if there's something wrong with the scene pointed at, probably not enough contrast like dark clouds waiting for lightning, it fails completely. It does have a manual focus, which I checked before buying, but that's so unusable, it's almost as if they deliberatly designed it so badly to stop you using it, and it's only available in a mode that forces you to choose either the aperture or shutter speed, or both, if you want manual focus then you're obviously a pro who doesn't want the auto mode.

An easier way to get it to focus properly is to prefocus on a scene that works at the same distance, then while keeping the button half pressed point at the target and then shoot.



Brilliant Camera , 21 Aug 2008
Received The Fugi S5800 Camera from Amazon and have been very impressed with it,was very pleased to see the owers manual was in English, and it also had a quick start sheet with just the basic instructions,the few photos I have taken so far have been of a lovely quality, this camera is ideal for those who like me wanted a better zoom than you get with the normal digital but did not want to get into a very expensive range,I have gone through the features and found them easy to follow, a super camera at a great price.

Not recommend, 02 Nov 2008
I bought this camera,it has many problems.
1.You cant charge battery inside the camera,every charge you have to take out of camera to charge in the charger,and put it back again in the camera.
2.It does not charge from usb cable via pc,where as most cameras charge battery via usb too.
3.Its USB cable is typical n expensive
4.Its memeory card is also not compatible with any printer or pc sockets.
5.Lense result also average and moody
6.If you lost very bulky and expensive charger no other way to charge the battery
7.New cameras in this price must have 3" LCD,it has only 2.7
8.You cant use SD card in this camera and have to buy expensive special memory card,not supplied with camera.

Totally satisfied, 28 Oct 2008
This is a super camera. Easy to use, lovely bright images on the large screen, excellent output for prints or just to enjoy viewing on TV or PC. Many facilities that I have yet to explore. Just set it to 'Auto' and let it do the work for you. Negative features? There aren't any. Sony high quality, solid build and delivered by Amazon with their usual efficiency. This camera highly recommended.

Simply Stunning, 20 Oct 2008
Been playing with this all evening, and the amount of features it's got for such a small compact is simply stunnning. The zoom is great (5x), and the quality of the pictures all impress.

I upgraded from a DSC-W100, and find it a huge leap forward. Highly recommended.

Excellant!!!, 10 Oct 2008
Sony Cyber-shot W170 Digital Camera - Silver (10.1MP, 5x Optical Zoom) 2.7" LCD

Excellant product and well worth the price too. Quality of picture is of very good standard.

Derby, UK

Very impressive, 23 Sep 2008
This best thing about this camera is the wide-angle lense and zoom capability. Of course it's good to have 10 mega pixels if you intend to print A3 size prints but, for every day use, 3mp or 5mp is more than enough. I use this Sony W170 digital camera as a back-up for my Sony F828 which is a large SLR type of digital camera for professional use. In terms of picture quality I can see no difference. The larger camera cost over £500 a two years ago and this Sony W170 is only about £130 today. To quote an earlier reviewer "Isn't technology good these days". I agree.

Awful sound quality!, 10 Nov 2008
Whilst this camera takes decent but not outstanding pics, beware of the sound quality if you're thinking of buying it to take video clips at gigs.

Believe me, the poor quality of the sound will make your clips unuseable.

If you can get the thing to focus in the low light setting of a gig, you'll get a decent picture, but that's it.

If you can't get it to focus, you're left with a blur!(and yes, I have tried it with continuous auto focus on and off, and I've updated the firmware.

So,it's ok if you just want a point and shoot for every day snapping, but otherwise forget it!

Easy to use, excellent results, 26 Oct 2008
This was a present from my husband, and my first "serious" digital camera - and I love it!

Menu is very easy to use, very good results in the iA mode, but I also like playing about with the Scenes - using them more than I first thought I would to excellent effect.

Highly recommended
