Summary: Typical Canon the best cameras made
Comment: Good point & shoot. Easy to use and understand with necessary options.

Summary: great potential, but too much noise
Comment: I am photographer with years of experience and have used over two dozen digital cameras (from DSLRs to point-and-shoots). This is a fine camera, except that it suffers from excessive noise (even at 80 and 100 ISO) for it to be fully useful. The 10MP is of limited value, as most of the pixels are smeared by the aggressive noise reduction. Bumping down to lower MP levels does not alleviate the problem. Could be a good camera to use in full sunlight or outdoor shots, but not for anything indoors. While one can't expect any point-and-shoot to have the sensitivity of a DSLR, my old Canon SD1000 pocket cam performs better than the SD880 in this regard.

Summary: Amazing for Price
Comment: This is really my first real digital camera, and i love it. It took me a while to learn the controls and how to use the clicker wheel or whatever, but after that I had it on lock. It makes photography easy because of how it has so many automated settings. All you really have to do is take the shot. let the camera do the rest. I think its probably the best camera for the price.

Summary: Great point and shoot
Comment: I got this for my wife who likes to take photos occasionally but doesn't want to fuss much.

This camera can take really decent photos. Like all P&S, its Achilles heel is flash photography. The flash is good but you can tell it was used (vs say using a nice flash attachment and bouncing or diffusing it).
But I set it so that in the P setting, it is 400 ISO with no flash. Consequently all my wife has to do is switch to P mode with her finger and she can take the same indoors shot with no flash. With the image stabilization and 28mm setting, that about does it great indoor shots during the day or evening with no flash.

This has a great macro setting in its pre-set scenes that you can easily cycle thru with its iPod-like dial. You can get about 2" away (flash is off or at least doesn't seem to fire).

The color saturation is nice as is the auto-color balance. The auto face-detection is funny to see kick in - even if you are taking a photo of a photo, you will see little boxes form around the faces in the LCD.

The wide LCD and 28mm really are good features. It turns on fast, you can set it to take multiple exposures (but I think that will turn off the flash).

You can set a lot on it manually - three things you cannot do are: manually set the focus or speed (most P&S users never would anyway) and adjust the flash with a flash exp compensation. It has a number of really nice scenic settings - from taking aquarium photos to snow scenes to an ISO3200 for really dark stuff - although it is very grainy. Of course it does video too.

The product shipped fine from Amazon. Has nice review features - easy to delete photos when you want.

Summary: Kudos to Amazon service, Canon QC shaky
Comment: Received 1st SD880, there was a distinct clicking sound when zooming in/out. Called Amazon, they sent a replacement right away. Good to know there's still great customer service in America. Also own SD870 (wife took it one day, haven't seen it since...), lens corners and barrel distortion definitely better than SD870. Digic4 fast, lots of cool new features. Video considerably better, files more compact (still cannot zoom optically but that would be a lot to ask for).

As far as all important Image Quality, I can't tell the difference between the two (don't get caught up in the MP hype, above 5-6MPS's, for most people who don't crop a lot, it's all marketing). Overall a great compact p/s with 28mm wide capability.

Editorial Reviews:

Its so easy to capture the magic of every moment when SD880 IS Digital ELPH comes along for the ride. Theres a terrific sense of creative options for your photographic sense with a wide range of shooting modes and a wide-angle 28mm lens--all because your camera sees the world without limits. Of course, its a stylish point of view from a camera that merges up-to-the-moment performance with the art of impeccable design.
