Canon Power Shot A80 – Can you get attacthable lenses too zoom further?
Hi,
I have the Canon Power Shot A80. By standard, it only has an optical zoom of 3. I am looking to find out if you can buy lenses to improve that?
What about a macro lens too shoot up close?
What about a lens that will let me shoot landscapes well?
Any links to sights where I could preview the lenses would be great. Thanks….
Here’s the official Canon web page for all accessories for the A80. These include different attachments for more wide-angle zoom (for landscapes), more tele-zoom, and for macro photography.

A quick search at B&H Photo shows that these add-ons are not cheap however. They go for less than at the Canon store, but the tele-zoom alone will still set you back $90 (out of stock now)

Perhaps you can use the product numbers from the Canon page to look for used gear on eBay.
Also consider that the A80 is getting pretty old… it dates from August 2003. If you’ve outgrown its capabilities, it might make more sense to upgrade to a new camera (with more zoom range.)

The Power of Free Stuff Affiliate Programs
In this high competitive affiliate programs rush, recently I reached a simple idea which my five years experience in the filed had not informed me about.
Searching for an affiliate program well proper your needs, you will encounter a mass of them here and there which will end up to your confusion. The first question which may come to your mind is: which one is better and why?
Some days ago, I became affiliated with a free stuff distributor to promote their freebies and samples from well known companies hoping to make some cash in. In the first week I promoted their affiliate URL just in some relevant forums and boards. Some days later, to my surprise, I noticed that this careless promotion brings in clicks and clicks without any stop. According to my stats, some of these clicks had a conversion rate of 50% (I mean of each two clickers one responded to the free product). This struck my mind that the people are still starved of “free things”.
Freebies, free samples, free stuff and all these lovely irresistible “frees” are real magicians to pull the full attention of any web surfer. Is not a free Canon cyber-shot digital camera, a brand new cell phone, a new MacBook or entry in a $50,000 cash draw enough to demand your action to fill a one minute form?
So, I decided to no more struggle to sell $100 or $1000 affiliate products and began to try an easier way selling “free things” for money. You can try this idea and enjoy your experience .To find a dozen of such affiliate programs just search keywords like “free stuff affiliate program”, “freebies affiliate” or similar terms in Google or Yahoo. Most of these affiliate programs are very professional and provide you the best promotion tools and material. Then, you can promote their free stuff anywhere which is relevant. Like me, you will be astonished by the huge response.

What are some things that I can do with my Canon Power Shot A75?
It was my moms old camera and it was broke. She told me if I could fix it, I could have it. Now I have it, but i dont know all of the settingsa and what they mean except the video and the auto setting.
Check out Canon support for a manual, software, drivers, etc. The support site for the A75 is:
