Re: Question about Canon A80

1) The A80 has a flip-out LCD screen, so you can put the camera on ground level and move the screen so you can still see it, or point the camera at yourself, and still see the screen. Everything I've read on the net says that whilst this seems unimportant at first, once you try a camera with a movable screen, you wont go back, it's very useful. The A85 does have a slightly bigger LCD screen though.
2) The A80 has a 1/1.8" CCD, the A85 has a 1/2.7" CCD. This means that they have the same number of pixels, but the A85 has them crammed closer together, which produces more noise in the picture, especially at low light / high ISO levels.
From the reviews, the A85 is still a very nice camera - I'm hopefully getting one soon. I'd preffer an A80, but can't find one anywhere over here, and the A95, which also has flip-out screen and 1/1.8" CCD, but is 5MP, is out of my budget.
