'12.1 megapixels offers unparalleled resolution for a compact camera, while the powerful 6x optical zoom with Optical Image Stabilizer Technology delivers clear, blur-free images in low light and all through the zoom range'
'The digital zoom's magnified pixels looked awful in low-light situations.'
'the S80 becomes our Editor's Choice for full-featured, compact digital cameras.'
'It's a fun little camera that packs a wallop in terms of features, performance, and photo quality'

'The eight-megapixel, 3.6x optical-zoom PowerShot S80 has everything we expect from a Canon camera: ease of use, intuitive design, and a great set of features.'
'We found the vanishing viewfinder image particularly troublesome while using the otherwise commendable burst modes; the screen image tended to vanish entirely for the whole burst.'
'This, however, was one of the most annoying features of the Z740; nearly every time we scrolled through options, we found it very difficult to avoid accidentally pressing the joystick down and selecting something we didn't want.'
'intuitive interface'
'The tiny CCD can only capture so much light, so images taken above the base ISO of 80 look somewhat noisy (which looks like film grain) on screen'
'The A95 does not support the TIFF or RAW file formats'
'finally, the plastic CompactFlash slot cover is a bit flimsy and clumsy to open.'
'The main of the A95's body is composed of a solid magnesium-alloy (with silver plastic doors and covers) so it lacks the cheapish feel of the Kodak which is plastic all-over.'
'On the other hand, if you're looking for a rugged camera that has
the S60 is a great choice.'
'One of the nice surprises on this point-and-shoot looking model is the availability
of raw file format, as well as various JPEG file sizes and compression ratios.'
'its sharpness was overshadowed by various problems, including bad purple fringing, compression artifacts, and a total loss of detail in the red channel.'
'Resolution more in line with a 4-megapixel camera, not the 6MP that it is.'
'The camera does not have an AF-assist lamp'
'Unfortunately, it garnered mediocre scores for color and exposure accuracy.'
