Perfection in a portable, feature-packed point and shoot camera

This camera hits all of the sweet spots for those wanting a powerful, small “point and shoot” camera with excellent speed and picture quality. What sets it apart from other cameras in this category is the wide angle lens. You can fit more into the picture especially group shots and landscapes. Also, because of the wide lens, you can zoom in on your shots without cutting off objects or people on the edges. Most other ultra compact cameras do not have this feature. I have used Canon’s other wide angle compact - the SD870IS and loved it. This newer model adds many upgrades to that model: 10 megapixels, fast and powerful Digic 4 processor, motion detection, 4x optical zoom, intelligent contrast, self timer with face detection, and a smaller size for pocketability. Even though it is an excellent “point & shoot” it is also feature packed and can be adjusted manually with many different options and settings if you want.

Things to look for in any camera in the compact/ultra compact category:
- Picture quality, of course
- Image stabilization so shaky hands don’t ruin the shot
- Fast shutter lag times and shot to shot times
- Face detection software
- Good OPTICAL zoom (not just digital zoom)
- Great battery life
- Large LCD screen
- Adequate megapixels to enlarge and crop your images when needed. Also to print larger sized photos.

This camera has all of the above.

Wide angle lens
Excellent picture quality
10 megapixels

CONS:
No viewfinder (LCD only). Some prefer viewfinder - personal preference.
May be too small for some people - again, personal preference.
It’s not cheap… But it is a good value. You might spend more, but you get a lot more.

I have taken many great shots with this camera since I’ve had it and really couldn’t wish for more. This camera has got to be on anyone’s short list when shopping for cameras in this category… Can you tell that I really, really like it?

AS ALWAYS WITH SD CANON MODELS VERY GOOD

Canon SD models have a very high quality photo for the amount you pay for them. I have had two models before this one and have had no problems with either,the PowerShot SD800IS and the SD 850 IS. I expect the same from this model. So far I am impressed by the photos I have very good results. I like to carry the model SD 880 with me most of the time for unexpected shots. I carry my 50D or D300 for the expected shots, The SD880 so far has met my expectations and will be in my car most of the time.
I highly recommend the 880 to beginners or anyone else.
