Should I upgrade from PowerShot A80 to S80?

by Jdella Feb 26, 2006 3:15AM PST

I was just wondering if anyone has done this and what your opinion is of the S80 compared to the A80? Mainly this camera is used for vacations, family photos, and some scenery pics that I print and frame. I also take a fair amount of video with it.

Thanks!

Canon A80 - S80

by snapshot2 Forum moderator Feb 26, 2006 4:00AM PST

Unless you have a real need for the wide angle ability of the S80, you should also consider the A620 (which is the A80/95 replacement camera).

Here is a side-by-side look at their specifications:

Thanks for the comparison, that was great! After everything I've read I continue to be impressed with the S80. Now just gotta convince my DH!
