Nice Point & Shoot
Canon PowerShot SD880IS 10MP Digital Camera with 4x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Silver) This camera replaces my trusty SD700IS which met it's demise from a nasty drop in Europe during summer holiday. The LCD screen size of the SD880 is great and makes for easy preview and post viewing of your photos. Image quality is good if you wait a moment for the focus. The face recognition system in the camera works very well and helps make for better sharpness then past cameras when focusing on people. It's fun to watch it find the faces and go to work. I do wish Canon worked in a standard viewfinder to save the battery but I guess that would have made the size of the LCD smaller to accommodate it. I would suggest you have enough light or you will find a little higher noise in your photos. This is the downside of having 10 mega pixels. There are limited manual controls on this camera which is typical of newer point and shoots but if you do some reading or have a geek friend you can figure out how to force the flash for fill flash, take decent night photos and do some panoramas. I do have one small nit about wrist strap that came with the camera, it is the first one I have EVER got that was not adjustable to hold the camera firmly on my wrist. I ended up using the old one off my broken SD700. I can recommend a nice case for this camera, the Tamrac 5204.Don't buy this camera! Image quality is very poor...
I was very disappointed with this camera. In general, Canon carries a good reputation with its name and I always respected their products, but this product is very poor. My friends have Canons, an old camera that I'm replacing is a Canon, which I was really happy with. Initially, when I received this camera I was actually impressed by all the functionality and features. However, as I started taking pictures in different settings I realized that the image quality is terrible. Pictures look very grainy and pixilated. I wasn't impressing with shutter speed either. I'm looking for a camera that takes picture a little quicker in Auto mode. I'm returning this camera mainly because of the image quality and going to keep shopping around for something better.Excellent all round camera.
I love this camera. I use it for taking short films of my son's fencing matches. The camera records video in mpg format so most video editing software works well with the the camera. The battery life is great I have never had it fail me during use. I do carry a spare but have yet to need it. A 4 Gig memory chip will hold about 5 minutes worth of video or Heaven knows how many pictures. The panorama feature is fun. You take a picture and it highlights the right hand edge. line it up with the next picture you want to take in the series and click away. I've done 180 degrees but might try 360 just for fun. If I had to come up with a defect it would be the rounded edges of the camera. It is designed to stand on the right end, but it is less than stable. I keep it in the case because the only way to put it down would be on it's back, screen side down, begging for a scratch - or worse.Canon Powershot SD880 IS
Great camera, with all the features you could ask for. I really like the 3 inch display and the ease of taking home movies with a large capacity memory card (8GB SD card not included), Battery life is great and I can go for two or more days without a recharge. Bought a spare battery, but haven't had to swap it out at any time. The only negative comment would be the pitiful 32MB SD card that is provided with the camera. This is way too small for use with any of the advanced features of the camera.Good so far
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...Keyword : canon+cameras
