1 Stylus 80 is great!
This camera was bought for my wife for christmas and I must say that we loved everything about it, from it's ease of use all the way down to the solid feel of this small well crafted camera I only wish that It came with batteries so we could have gotten pictures X-mas morning.
2 Easy To Use Camera
This is a great little camera that you can take on the go. It's SO easy to use. I have several cameras, but I find myself grabbing this one when I'm running out the door and think, "I should take a camera." I like the way the cover slides over to protect the lens. When you open that, it turns it on and you're ready to go. The zoom is adequate for 95% of the shots I want to take. The photo quality is very good for a compact camera. I like mine so much, I just ordered another one to give as a Christmas present.
3 Wonderful camera for basic needs
Got this camera in 1999 and it is still doing very well! More than 3000 great pictures have been taken. The camera is very easy to use and needs no maintenance. A word of caution - ensure that the camera doesn't get pressurized laterally - this can happen if it is stuffed in a bag and someone sleeps over it. The spring-operated shutter is very sensitive.
Would recommend this for anyone who is looking for a cost-effective and easy-to-use film camera.
4 Great pictures for a camera in this class
I exposed some beautiful pictures with this camera before I bought an SLR camera. Great color and detail for a point and shoot. Obviously, if you want more creative control I would recommend an SLR. But for a point and shoot, it yields good results. One complaint, my camera began to malfunction a while back, rewinding midroll and double exposing--probably my fault, it has been dropped a couple of times ;)
5 Good buy for the price
For the price this is good buy. I have little kids and I need an inexpensive camera I can throw in my purse for those cute little moments. This camera is small and easy to use. The zoom makes it more versatile than other inexpensive camers. I had no problem loading the camera and the few rolls of film I have gotten back look great.
6 camera for the dummies
I like this camera. I took it to Ireland with me and we just snapped away. I took the film to a cheap department store to get it processed and the pictures are wonderful. They are clear and persise. If I loose this camera or drop it I won't have a heart attack. It didn't cost that much to begin with. I run though the batteries a little sooner. But this is because I play with the zoom lens a lot. It's just a nice little camera that I can pack around and not worry to much about. The pictures are great....
