HUAWEI MatePad 12 X (2026) Review
My very first camera was a Canon Ixus 30 I bought for Php21k over 5 years ago. Since then, I moved up to the dSLR (Canon EOS 40D) and have been a loyal Canon user. Sometimes though, I find dSLRs too bulky and heavy for casual use so I thought I’d go back to a pocket-sized point-and-shoot camera.
Something cheap, not too fancy but does the job real well. So when I made the stop-over at South Korea last week and saw the gadget sale, I grabbed one of them cheap Ixus models — the Canon Ixus 80is.
It’s an old 8.0MP model and there are many new ones that are out in stores already but this unit gets you the best bargain. I won’t do a full review but here are some reasons I like this model of Canon’s range of point-and-shoots.
The point-and-shoot allows me to take easy and quick shots during those candid moments. It’s also useful for taking discreet photos where a dSLR would be too obvious and distracting.

May kasali bang memory card? I want to have a new digital camera that is handy because I hate carrying bulky things. I even changed my cellphones to slimmer models.

@ernie – there’s an EyeFi wifi card that you plug in the SD card slot. There are some models too that have wifi but not too many people really want that feature added to the final price of the unit.
@koolitz- A3 is correct but it should be bigger than a bond paper at 11.7 x 16.5″ in dimension.

@yvon thea – came with a 32MB card by default but the store gave away an additional 2GB card.

nice choice on the colorway..
@ernie – my girlfriend is about to buy the t700. i used to have the sony n1 which was the first touch screen about 2-3 years ago (i think..). it had some cool features but i wasnt used to the feeling of a touch screen yet. maybe i’ll beat my girlfriend to it and buy the t700 before she does haha

Yeah I agree, mine is a canon ixus75 and it’s really nice for the not so techie person like me because i don’t have to tinker a lot of things to make it work. Nice choice! :)

mahal talaga digicam dito sa pinas. i got my nikon s10 for 10k sa US when it was selling for 20k sa malls dito. i’m happy with my S10, talagang pangdiscreet shooting. hehehe. May 10x optical zoom pa.

Maybe I should get my own point-and-shoot too? For now, my K800i does the job quite well.
Besides, I’m a glutton for torture as I always lug around my dSLR whenever possible. I really need to keep on practicing my shooting skills.

Mas okay naman talaga ang maliliit na cam. Portable.
Hirap kumuha ng vanity pics using an SLR. Tatamaan na ang ilong ng lente.

wow! that’s a real bargain… cheapest i saw @ ebay.ph is 11k.
recently bought a digicam too. had a budget of only 9k, so i got myself the sony cybershot dsc-w120. got good reviews @ dpreview.com & steves-digicams.com. quite happy with it too. :-)

Abe, this is so old, it’s been around Japan for a couple of months now, it takes the name IXY there, but the same looks.

wow, you got that camera at a relatively cheap price! naiinggit ako sa na-save mong money! I got that same model, in pink color naman (pa-gurl!), first month of release, so very mahal pa! mga 18K sa SM Makati. My very first digital camera. I still have it til this day. I like the convenience that comes along with it, and very good quality. I also like the digital macro feature, I use it most of the time esp in getting flower images. Itong gadget na to ang bestfriend ko sa aking travel blog :)
