I recommend the S1 IS for a variety of reasons.. 10x optical zoom,
image stabilization, much better manual modes, movie mode, etc etc.

A80 is a good camera, you can get supplimentary lenses for tele or wide
angle or closeup. Normal 'zoom' range is 3x optical. The S 1IS is higher
zoom but no optical view finder which can be difficult to use in low light.
Personally, I don't like digital viewfinders. The A80 has a swivel lcd
screen which is great for overhead shots. Pics are very good quality. My
neighbour has one.

I have the big-brother, the G5, also very good 5 MPixel and 4 x zoom. (A80
4MPix)
