Need repair again (second time).......2007-08-24

I had a S45 and after loving that camera and quite frankly beating the heck out of it taking photos of two kids and needed a new one. I am now needing repair for the second time. After buying the canon camera bag, I managed to drop it after having it for all of three weeks and the lense cracked. Now 13 months later I can't get the lense cover to close. Very frustrating.

THE BEST CAMERA next to a DSLR.......2007-08-12

i have this camera since January of 2006 and it still amazes me how much Canon s80 can do!!!
even my friends who are into photography and have a number of DSLRs are quite amazed on Canon s80's capabilities!
this is really the best!!!
you will be amazed at how much manual settings this has.
I was supposed to buy a dslr but i wanted a camera that can capture videos..so I opted to find the next best thing... CANON S80!!!
i never regretted buying this.
I am sooo happy because instead of a decrease in market price, i am so surprised to see how much it is now.
i remember buying my camera for 300 something, almost 400 USD but now, it seems that it's around 500. wow!

Great for under water, too.......2007-06-25

Bought the camera early summer 2006.
Reasons:
- Wide angle lens. Not many point and shoots have this.
- It has the CANON Digic II processor. The same as the high-end CANON SLRs. Great processing. Not another company has a better one, not even NIKON.
- Extensive advanced controls. This has just about every setting you could hope for. I use all except the built in scene settings. I prefer to set my own exposures, aperture, shutterspeed, ISO, etc... This would also be good for a newbie.
- Compact. A lot of capability in a little space.
- Underwater housing available.
I bought the underwater housing. I vacationed in Hawaii and fully tested it scuba diving. It perfomed flawlessly. The underwater pictures (I took about 700) turned out great. I used it as deep as 80 feet, great pix. It is great for snorkling, too. I recommend buying the weight for the housing. I have it. It attaches to the tripod mount on the bottom of the housing. It gives the rig a neutral buoyancy.

The camera is a work horse.

I took over 2000 pictures in 14 days in Hawaii. Since then, I have taken about 6000 pictures with it in Miami, Seattle, Alaska (Juneau, Sitka, Anchorage) to name some highlights. It does seem a little fragile compared to my film camera, a CANON A-1 that has seen much abuse and much of he world and is still producing great photos. What I mean is that you have to take care to not beat it about. I had long ago read about the lense door opening in a pocket, so I am careful not to let that happen. My experiance with the S80, using the heck out of it, is it hasn't broken, even dropping it a few frightening times.

Cons:

- No stability assist or anti-shake. This may cause new photographers some heartache.
- The mode selector on the side can easily be turned and cause a screwed up shot (just be aware).
- The battery door opens by sliding. There is no locking device on it that would prevent it from accidentally opening. I have occationally, accidentally, opened the battery door right after a shot. I thought it may mess up the writing of the picture from the buffer to the storage card, but it never did.
- No RAW mode. If you need it, don't buy this one.

Overall, this is an outstanding camera for the price. It takes outstanding pictures and has stood up to my extensive use so far. It is good for advanced photographers that want a point and shoot as well as for beginners.

Highly recommend it.

BUYER BEWARE........2007-06-02

NOT WORTH THE MONEY SELLERS ARE ASKING. D O N O T B U Y!
I purchased this camera for $500 May 2006, one year later it's scrap. It was treated like a newborn baby and was completely scratch/trauma free. Then the lens stuck and the LCD displayed the (apparently common)ERROR... E18. Canon doesn't take responsibility for this on their cameras. (FORGET IT - SOMEONE ALREADY TRIED CLASS ACTION! Search: keyword "e18 error" - read all about it). A seemingly solid investment in a camera to use primarily for work turned out rather expensive. I'm so annoyed, it took fantastic pictures, although the dials/controls are way too sensitive. The Canon S80 had a short run... released Aug 2005, DISCONTINUED BY EARLY 2007... no replacement model, no support for the shoddy workmanship. bu-bye money!

Get a used S80 while you can.......2007-02-18

I have had a Canon S40 for several years and it always worked flawlessly yielding great pictures.

However, I did want to upgrade it to a more modern camera. Unfortunately, the S80 has been discontinued apparently without any replacemnet e.g. S90 in the works. I then purchased a used S80. It is a great camera and is markedly improved over my old S80. The large LCD screen, wider zoom range, smaller size, improved movie mode are major changes.

I always keep it in a case when not in use, and like a prior reviewer would be pleasantly surprised if it was not damaged by dropping.

Amazon.com Product Description

Slim, stylish, and packed with features, the Norcent PT-320 32-inch plasma TV is a great home entertainment centerpiece. Not only does it include such modern essentials as picture-in-picture and progressive scan, but the TV also broadcasts signals in high-definition 1080i format when connected to an HDTV receiver. The TV's video quality (852 x 1,024) stems from several sources, not the least of which is the 3:2 reverse pulldown, which automatically detects and converts film content for a better overall picture, and Norcent's color rendering technology, which provides realistic, lifelike colors. The progressive scan feature is also a boon, as it offers twice the scan resolution of its video signals to deliver clear, crisp images from a variety of sources.

As with all flat-panel monitors, the PT-320 takes up far less space than a traditional tube TV, with a depth of only 3.9 inches. Other features include a 16:9 enhanced aspect ratio that supports widescreen anamorphic DVDs, a 850:1 contrast ratio, a two-tuner picture-in-picture that lets users watch two programs at once, a sleep timer, and color temperature correction. The TV connects to other devices through the component video, S-video, and composite inputs, along with audio outputs for connection to an external audio source.

Set was out of box failure. Norcent US Support is terrible. They did not address my concern in a timely manner. In short, they tied up my money for 15 days, and strung me along wasting my time. - Do yourself a favor and shop a major brand with established support!

Customer Reviews:

Never again!.......2006-07-12

I am never buying from midland ever again after I bought this item! Terrible Item I THOUGHT it was going to have 40 channels but it only had 23! Do not buy this item!

Not what you wanted!.......2001-07-30

I bought this radio on the bases it said it was usable with GMRS repeaters and had all of the ctcss codes. While this might be true, you can only use these features if the factory or a Midland Tech programmed it to do so. For the user who is used to doing his or her own programming and being able to change their radio as needed, this is not the radio for you, or me...

Simply Poor.......2001-07-13

These radios seemed to be an attractive purchase given the rugged construction, their re-chargeable nature, and that they support both GMRS and FRS frequencies.

The fact is that there are no FRS compatible channels on these radios, that are evident. There is no mention of this capability in the owners manual that comes with each radio, which in itself is very poorly crafted.

Finally, each of the radios comes with a seperate charger. I ordered two radios with chargers. One didn't work at all.

Needless to say the were returned....

Beware of this radio.......2001-07-11

Opon recieving this radio I have found that all of the sale litterateur fails to mention one thing; that all of the radios features, channel spacing, busy cannel lockout, scan attack, scan resume times, transmit time out timer, power save cycle time, and most of all the ctcss/dcs codes are NON-USER PROGRAMABLE. So I say what's the point of having a radio with repeater capabilities if the end user can not even program the ctcss/dcs codes without having to go find a Midland Tech. to program the radio becouse he's the only one who has the software and computer interface to do it. What happens the next time you want to change the codes? Or any of the other radio features? Buyer Beware.

Poorly calibrated picture.......2002-02-09

This t.v. had two picture quality problems you wouldn't expect on a set of this price: The picture image is rotated due to bad yoke setting, and it has a pin-cushioning problem (graphics lines are curved). Neither of these items are adjustable by the user, and should have been set more accurately at the factory.

Prices on television are high even for the low end ones.......2001-12-05

Well I think that the prices for the televisions are pretty high considering you can get some of the same sets for a lot cheaper if you watch the adds.

Pretty good t.v........2001-09-10

Well I have bad cable reception in my area, and usually if I don't have a console t.v., the reception can be very poor. So, I was a bit hesitant in buying a non-console set. This Panasonic CT27D31 set handles the poor reception in my area pretty good! Most of the channels are crisp, color is great, and sound is good. I haven't hooked it up to my stereo system yet. I have a VCR, DVD, and game system hooked up to the set, and all of the units work great with the set. The only complaint I really have is with the remote control. I'm use to just pointing at the t.v. and having it react accordingly. However, with this remote, I tend to have to point and click more than once, or point DOWN to get the signal for the remote to pick up. The universal remote code doesn't work for my cable box either. However, it does work for my VCR and DVD player.

Overall, it's a good set for watching movies and playing games!

Best cheap pocket digital!.......2007-09-16

My family of 3 each has one of these for 3 years now and they are great. Our "good" camera died the night we were packing for Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands. We took our Logitech cameras and got fantastic pictures. We always have them in our pockets for city (we live in NYC) walks - you never know when you'll see something neat. If they get lost (hasn't happened yet), no worries. The usb charge is fast too. Oh by the way, a full charge lasted on our cameras past the 2 week vacation with hundreds of pictures taken.

Rubber duckie I love you........2007-03-25

I thought my score for this camera was one lost, two killed. then I found No. 3 wedged in the car seat and it works!!!!! It was wedged for two years. and the last two pictures were still good!!. How did I kill those two ?? One got stuck in an escalator and was bent when the guy got it out. The other was hiking with me in freezing weather and was in my rear pocket , could be it got frozen, could be it didn't like that sliding down slopes.
These days I own a Nikon D70. It does every thing a camera should. But it doesn't fit in my pocket. It requires forethought and careful setting up and, gasp, reading the manual to get better pictures. Im even afraid to carry it while riding a bike. I'm medically insured but it is not.
I bought all three Logitechs for considerably less than the current price and was intending to use my phonecam instead of the Logicam, but now I have my Logicam back I am happy and promise to be more careful with it. `

bogus.......2007-01-22

I bought three of these cameras. The first one was lost when it fell out of my husband's pocket while he was trail riding. The second was lost when it fell out of my husbands truck while he was on a trip. The last one had a problem with the battery not charging. This is when we found out that the camera had an internal battery that was not replacable.
I e-mailed the company and they told me to call the company. I called and called and was never able to get through. I then called the sales branch of the company and he told me that the best time to call was 7:00 am my time before the rush. While this was quite awhile ago. I never did get through to anyone. And I have a worthless camera that was used for less than 6 month.
My advice to anyone looking at this camera is to run the other way.

Great gift for a child's first camera!.......2006-11-14

My ex bought this camera for my daughter who is 13 and promised if she could take care of it he would buy her a higher end camera. She's had it for a year now and it goes everywhere with her. It's great to take to school outings with her friends, to the beach, or anywhere else she wants to go. You have to be in very bright light for it to work, but you can't beat the portability. The quality is good enough for her and she posts pics on her MySpace all day long! LOL If you don't want to spend tons of money the first time out for your kids, this is a great option! It holds up to around 50 pics at a time!

Dead battery.......2006-10-27

I can no longer charge the battery. And there is no apparent way to change the battery. This is a piece of junk! Logitech should take it off the market.
