All the photos on my webpage were taken by my Canon Power Shot A80 (night
shoots, wallpapers and panoramic images too).
People on the photos didn't see and didn't know they were captured.
In my opinion Canon's menu is the most practical and fastest. Probably lens
is to weak.
However the final effect could be very proffesional.
See my photos: http://mybestphotos.batcave.net, the most of them were taken
using manual sets.
