Also released on August 22nd, the new 8.0 Megapixel Canon PowerShot S80 has become the new flagship to its S-Series PowerShot range. S80 features a wide angle 28-100 mm f2.8-5.3 (3.6x) optical zoom lens incorporating Canon’s new UA lens technology, the same DIGIC II Image Processor found in Canon’s professional series digital SLRs for high quality image and a high resolution 2.5” TFT-LCD monitor, and 21 shooting modes, including Special Scene modes and My Color for customization while shooting
Its 8.0 Megapixel CCD is capable of captures enough detail for photo-quality 16” x 22” prints. Comparing with the new stylish PowerShot SD30’s body, I like S80’s body better. It looks compact and solid, and it is considerably smaller than its predecessor, the PowerShot S70.
Retail price for S80 is in the range of US$550 – $600. The discounted price at Amazon.com is $549.99.
