The Canon Digital IXUS 80 IS is a pocket-sized point-and-shoot camera built for casual everyday use. Its 8MP sensor sits inside a 1/2.5-inch chip and is paired with the DIGIC III image processor, producing still images at up to 3264x2448 pixels. The metal body keeps weight down to just 128g while measuring a slim 87 x 55 x 22 mm, making it easy to carry anywhere.
Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) is built in to counteract camera shake during handheld shooting. On the back, a 2.5-inch LCD display handles composition and image review, and a tunnel-type optical viewfinder is also available. The autofocus system uses contrast detection.
For video, the camera captures footage at up to 480p at 30fps. A burst mode allows continuous shooting at 1.3fps. The ISO range spans 80 to 1600, and storage uses SD and SDHC cards.
Connectivity is handled via USB, and the camera runs on a rechargeable lithium-ion battery.
