The Optio E80<br \/>\nis a great starter camera with features similar to other devices on the market<br \/>\nwith one major exception, the price tag (but we\u2019ll talk about that later). The<br \/>\ncamera was very easy to set up with the rather large 2.7 inch LCD screen.<br \/>\nNothing is worse than a huge camera with a small display, but fortunately this<br \/>\nis not the case. Likewise, the large print and text on both the screen and<br \/>\nbuttons make it easy to read, especially for those aging customers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Similarly,<br \/>\nI liked how the buttons on the back were simple functions and I didn\u2019t have to<br \/>\ngo searching on the camera to erase a picture or turn the flash on. The Optio<br \/>\nE80 comes with the typical features of other cameras, flash options, language<br \/>\nsupport, and captures video. I found the various capture modes such as movie,<br \/>\nflower, and surf and snow to be a nice touch. In addition, the camera is<br \/>\n10-10.7 pixel with a 3X optical zoom and a digital zoom of 5.7X. It also<br \/>\nrecords widescreen HD video with a nice sound capture and relatively high<br \/>\nresolution. Aesthetically, the camera is comparable to Canon or similar Kodak<br \/>\ncameras with a sturdy design and basic functionality. The series comes in black<br \/>\nor silver and is powered by 2 AA batteries, not a rechargeable battery.<br \/>\nPersonally, I prefer the dependability of non rechargeable batteries especially<br \/>\nif you are on vacation and a power supply is not readily available. <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 You really<br \/>\ncan\u2019t go wrong with the minimalist design, more than adequate features, and <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B002JM25AA?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=techcomprepa-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B002JM25AA&tag=luupwebsite-20\">120 dollar price tag<\/a>.
