What is it: 8-megapixel compact with optical image stabilisation
What we think: Its great image stablisation system can't overcome its poor performance

We like:
Optically stabilised lens; great colour reproduction; can shoot widescreen video
We don't like:
Noisy, soft pictures; very slow performance
CNET UK judgement:
Though it stands out as one of the least expensive digital cameras to sport optical image stabilisation, the LS80's performance and pictures simply don't hold up against competing budget cameras

Canon PowerShot A2100 IS
We wish it were slightly faster, but it offers a useful 6x zoom and great photo quality
Canon PowerShot A480
Fuss-free compact that takes good photos given the price. Just don't expect too much from it
Canon Digital IXUS 990 IS
Good camera, but it's underspecified and overpriced, even compared to other IXUS models
Fujifilm FinePix S1500
Its lens and image quality aren't great, but it's a good option for beginner photographers
