i think nowadays difficult to find a80 since it has been replaced by a95. i am an amateur using the a80 and is quite satisfied with it.

Ixus30 is small but seem good to me as a snap camera
A80 is too big to be a snap camera nowaday but in return you get manual function to play with like Av/Tv mode and manual mode ... ignore those scenery mode as i think they are useless anyway

think about it yourself what kind of photo you going to take and you will have idea which camera you going to buy

Canon A80 would definitely be a better buy:

1. It uses normall AA sized batteries instead of Canon Lithium battery;
2. It allows the usage of a lens adaptor which you can buy and fit either a wide angle or telephoto lens;
3. Swivel LCD
4. Manual control: Full Manual, Aperture priority, Speed priority.

my opinion, why don't you get yourself a second hand G series, G3 or G5 at about the same price as a new A series.. The G series do take very good pics.
