Good so farNovember 19, 2008 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I haven't used this camera much yet, but it seems to do what was advertised. The colors are nice, taking pictures inside and outside. Only one picture out of ~100 was blurred (shaky) and I could see this on the screen so I was able to take another. I gave it four stars because, in my opinion, the manual is horrible. Tiny printing on gray recycled paper, I mean really, get it together people. We don't all have perfect eyesight...
Great pics/easy to useNovember 19, 2008 Having owned many small digital cameras over the years there were features I liked and disliked with every one of them. Cameras were easy to use but the softwear was not. With this camera you get clear, sharp images that are easy to download to your PC. I think I have found the camera I have been looking for the past 6 or 7 years.
Point and Shoot - Pocket Rocket....November 18, 2008 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This camera comes packed with great features and does a decent job in low light. The wide angle lens allows you to get up close to get everyone in a picture which comes in handy for close up shots. The in house red eye reduction software is a pleasure to work with and saves me time when I am touching up photo's. This camera shoots great out door shots and does very well indoors as well, but be aware it does have some issues with a pretty bright flash which can lead to lighting up dust spots in the air which can cause problems. My older 800 series camera was really bad, Canon seems like they improved this but it is still an issue. What they need is a flash intensity setting, which would help. Over all the camera takes great pictures and it takes them fast, so if you have little kids you won't loose those shots when they decide to move. :) I would have given it a 5 if it wasn't for the occasional shot muffed up by the dust orbs....
Tiny Camera with Outstanding Optics, Low-Light IS and Features GaloreNovember 18, 2008 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I bought this for my wife as a B'day present to replace her tiny and always carried SD450 (5MB, no IS and 3 years old). The SD880 is a much better camera, costs less than the SD450 did in 2005 and is still tiny (fits in the same case). The improvements are many: ultra-sharp 28mm wide-angle lens with 4X zoom, 3" bright and clear LCD, both optical image stabilization (IS) and a new low-noise (for it's size) 10MP sensor.
A few reviews here report crappy images and/or high noise levels but those are not my findings, at least not relative to other point and shoot cameras. I tested the SD880 against: her Canon SD450 (5MP), my Fuji F31fd (6MP) and a borrowed Panasonic LX-3 (10MP).
SD880 images are sharper than any of the three other cameras at the same f-stops and focal lengths. This is especially true regarding the SD450. Given the Leica pedigree on the LX-3's super fast (f2.0-2.8) 24-60mm lens I had expected it to be sharper than the tiny SD880 so was surprised to find noticeably sharper images with the SD880 even near the edges of the frame. Although the Fuji is just 6MP, it is closest in sharpness to the SD880, but only in good light at lower ISO.
The SD880 produces lower image noise at high ISO's (400 and up) than both the SD450 and the LX-3. Beating the LX-3 in this test at ISO 400, 800 and 1600 was also surprising given the LX-3's slightly larger sensor size. The Fuji has the lowest noise level at high ISO BUT images become overly smoothed with less sharpness than either the SD880 or the LX-3. The SD880 retains more sharpness than the Fuji as ISO is cranked up to 800 and 1600, but did have more noise. ISO 400 noise is low with the SD880 and images are usable at ISO 800. ISO 1600 should be reserved for low-light emergencies where flash is verboten and if prints are kept 6" x 4" or smaller.
Another low-light advantage of the SD880 (at least for nearly stationary scenes) is the optical IS. This really works and allows lower ISO values to be used with longer shutter speeds. My wife often blurred shots on the SD450 due to camera motion. The IS has helped a lot to reduce this.
So, although the SD880 is not equal to a 3 pound Canon 5D in a small 5 oz package, it does provide unexpectedly good image quality and low noise for a tiny camera, one that can always be with you, just when you need it.

This is my first Canon product, i have always had Nikons. Although I am still learning it I am very pleased. I bought a Nikon 710 first and did not like the results and returned it and decided to try the Canon and I have been very happy with it so far. In my opinion I get a little better color out of it than my previous coolpix cameras and i like the delayed shutter for night time photos with low ISO.
