A stylish slimline digicam with 8-megapixel resolution and excellent performance.Four desirable characteristics will give Canon's Ixus 80 IS kudos with style-conscious snapshooters: compact size, stylish appearance, ease of use and excellent imaging performance. The 8-megapixel effective resolution of the Ixus 80 iS is just right for the target audience, who will also be comfortable with the 3x optical zoom lens and 2.5-inch LCD screen. As a bonus, there's also a small - but functional - viewfinder.
