Bad Buy Canon SD 880IS. Simple:
Do not buy Canon PowerShot SD880IS 10MP camera:
1)Slow
2)Picture quality unacceptable for a Canon with the new processor DIGI 4
3)Image stabilizer a joke.
4)MOV video format, very uncompatible with most software.
5)Useless ISO 3200
6)Inacurate batery meter
7)Image stabilizer work for hand shake NOT for picture stabilization.
8)Toy power Flash, so tinny flash works only in closer pictures.
9)SCN function absolutely workless.
10)Microphone located in top of camera, so you will easly block the microphone with your fingers when try to take videos.
My old Canon SD 630 (2006 model) actually takes much better pictures than Canon PowerShot SD880IS 10MP stuff. Be aware- I think Canon will take actions to correct Canon PowerShot SD880IS 10MP dissapointing device named CANON SD880
Great all around camera. I bought this camera to replace my old SD-1000 (which replaced my SD-660, which replaced an S-330).
My first reaction was not positive, only because the camera is larger and heavier than my previous Canons. What I liked the most about my last two cameras was their elegant, light, slim design. The SD880IS is nicely designed, but has noticeably more heft and is thicker.
Once I started taking pictures with it, I forgot about the increased size. It's faster than my SD-1000 in taking consecutive pictures, and performs much better overall, especially in low light. Whenever possible, I try to take pictures without flash, because I find the images to be more natural. Because of its more sensitive imaging chip, the SD880IS allows me to take more hand-held low light pictures than I previously could. The increased sensitivity, however, comes with increased grain in very low light situations.
The revamped controls took a little getting used to, but quickly won me over. No more needing flicking a switch to put the camera into display mode.
If you take any panoramics or landscapes, you'll love the wide angle lens on this camera, which is equivalent to a 28MM lens on a 35MM SLR. The zoom lens, now 4x, instead of the more common 3x in older models, does not actually provide the ability to zoom in closer to your subject. Instead, the additional "x" makes up for the wider lens. This means that at full zoom, my old SD-1000 with a 3x lens, and the SD880IS provide the same frame.
If the camera were lighter/thinner and produced less grain in very low light situations, I would have given Canon PowerShot SD880IS 10MP 5 stars as being perfect.
Pros:
Faster than previous models.
Revamped interface simplifies use.
Light sensor more sensitive, more useful in low light.
Wide lens, great for landscapes, large groups, etc.
Cons:
Heavier, thicker than many previous models in same category.
In extreme low light conditions, sensor can produce a lot of grain.
Requires new battery type (can't use left over batteries from older models)
Pretty Good! Not Excellent. For the pixel peeper set and those serious about image quality:
The image quality of SD880IS fell a little short of my expectations. My last camera was a Canon S70 (7MP) which is now quite old, but Canon PowerShot SD880IS 10MP still produces better per-pixel sharpness, except wide open in the corners, than the SD880IS. Some limitations of the SD880IS for those serious about image quality are
1) The DIGIC IV chip will perform noise reduction at all times, even in bright daylight at ISO 80, reducing detail in areas of low contrast; you can't turn Canon PowerShot SD880IS 10MP off.
2) No manual modes means living with sub-optimal aperture selection, further reducing sharpness.
3) The auto exposure is much more likely to clip highlights in contrasty settings than on the S70; be ready to use exposure compensation of -1/3 to -1 to avoid blown highlights.
4) Whether it's optics or DIGIC processing I'm not sure (it's not shutter speed), but I frequently have image areas that are smudgy when viewed at 100%, effectively reducing the amount of information in the 10MP file to something similar to a sharp 6MP file.
5) The movie mode shows very visible vertical streaking at each specular highlight, not just on the display while filming (not unusual), but on the stored file as well. Neither the S70 or G9 have this problem.
With 4 years separating the S70 and SD880IS, I was expecting a real noticeable improvement in image quality. If it's there, it's not very noticeable. That said if you never print> 8x10" you'll probably not notice these issues.
In all other respects, however, the camera performs nicely and shows the progress expected of the intervening years. Speed of operation is good, display very visible in daylight and image stabilization allows one to handhold very slow shutter speeds. Barrel distortion is noticeably lower and CA and purple fringing are better controlled. Flash power is good but recycle times are slow, as is the continuous shooting rate.
Given the information available at the time of purchase, Canon PowerShot SD880IS 10MP seemed this camera was clearly a good choice (dpreview, NYTimes). Furthermore, Canon PowerShot SD880IS 10MP satisfied specific constraints of the person I was giving Canon PowerShot SD880IS 10MP to: small size, large and easily visible screen, wide angle lens.
