Introduction
The 8MP Canon PowerShot S80 is the latest iteration of the company's “Goldilocks” cameras. It's not a simple point-and-shoot digicam neither is it as complicated as a D-SLR. It's supposed to be just right, targeted to the photographer looking for a high-quality camera that's easy to use but has enough tweaks to keep dial spinners happy. This compact camera is the replacement for the soon-to-be discontinued 7.1MP S70. Among the good features of the S80 are a wide focal length (28mm), higher movie clip quality, a real-time histogram and enough shooting modes to handle almost anything you can throw at it. It is a bit on the expensive side ($549 list, under $500 real world). Now how does it work in the real world? And are you a Momma, Papa or Baby Bear?
