The first in a series of redesigned Elura digital camcorders, the Elura 80 packs more image-making power than previous models into a smaller, streamlined shell. At its core is Canon’s advanced DV Photo Plus technology, which combines Genuine Canon Optics and a Mega Pixel CCD image sensor, with a Digic DV image processor and versatile Print and Share features. Shoot videos and photos simultaneously, edit your digital footage into the perfect family album for playback on a TV or computer, or relive your favorite moments in cinematic-inspired 16:9 widescreen mode.

Camcorderinfo.comThe Canon Elura 80 has some great features, like the 18x optical zoom, the top-loading tape mechanism, the headphone jack, and the chunky size. It’s a good camcorder with a few exceptions. The LCD and the subsequent placement of the menu button and jog dial are legitimate complaints. |

EasyCamcorders.comThe Canon Elura 80 is the bottom of the line Elura, which is Canon’s mid-level series (between the ZRs and Opturas). As a rule, Eluras are easy to use and produce wholly decent video. |
