Point and Shoot - Pocket Rocket.... November 18, 2008
1 out of 1 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....
First Canon November 16, 2008

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.
 I am a canon fan. But this camera is HORRIBLE. GRAINY, LOTS OF NOISE!! AVOID November 16, 2008

Okay, i hate giving bad reviews. But i had a horrible experience with this camera. I bought sd880 for $259 in circuit city. Brought it home and took some pics indoors and outdoors. Camera is easy to use. Wheel is very nice touch. But when i downloaded into computer and looked at full sized pics. There was a LOT of noise. I didnt expect this quality from canon. Everything seemed outta focus too.
Then i started reading reviews, and i found this to be known issue for this camera. I mean its a deal breaker. If picture quality is bad what good will 3 inch LCD, 4x zoom and wide angle lens do? I tried to decreasing the mega pixels and problem didnt get resolved. I also changed settings and tried every which way. LOTS of noise. grainy picture.
i couldnt believe that. I thought i got faulty camera. I did an exchange on circuit city. And that new camera had same problem. I gave up today and returned for 15% re-stocking fee.. What a disappointment. Clearly stay away from this camera UNLESS u dont mind grainy pics.. looks horrible.
 AS ALWAYS WITH SD CANON MODELS VERY GOOD November 13, 2008

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 SD 800 IS 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.
 Would get 5 stars if only the noise problem is not so obvious November 13, 2008

My dissatisfaction with the Canon SD880IS all stem from really missing my old Fujifilm F30. That good old camera has the best lens/CCD of any point-n-shoot that I've ever seen. Even ISO1600 photos were usable. Everything was low noise. But (probably because it's Made in Ch---) the two F30's that I've owned all crashed way before reaching 2 full years of use. Yes, I had liked the camera so much that after the first one died I bought another one to replace it.
Yes, the problem with the SD880 is NOISE NOISE NOISE. Even at very low ISO I can see the noise everywhere on the picture. I tried going for lower pixel count but they are still very visible. If you want to buy this camera, make sure that you've taken a few photos and zoom them out in playback mode. It's only after feeding a photo through Noise Ninja that I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Noise problem aside, the SD880 is packed with so many neat features. I've set the manual white balance to be trigged by the printer button. All I have to do is to point the camera at the white ceiling, press the printer button, and the camera is white-balanced exactly for that specific lighting.
Face detection works great, and I really like the TV - self-timer - Face detection combo: I hook the camera to the TV, put the self-timer on Face detection mode, press the shutter, and nonchalantly walk to the spot of my choice before turning to face the camera. The camera reads my face and multiple shots of me are made.
This camera takes BEAUTIFUL indoor photos -- with a flash, that is. (The Fuji F30 had been able to take all sorts of great indoor photos without flash.) The Canon engineers have done a great job with post-processing to get such nice even lighting on indoor photos, especially with such a tiny flash.
I take photos with i-Contrast off. In the playback mode, I can apply the i-Contrast as I choose. And speaking of i-Contrast, I find that the SD880 tries too hard to second guess what photos I want, and the photos tend to turn out a bit flat. The photos all improve tremendously when I use Picasa or Photoshop to deepen the shadows. This is especially true with indoor photos.
The video mode is not so useful. There is no optical zoom with video. The camera fakes a video zoom by doing a digital zoom. Of course, if the video is already only 640x480, doing a digital zoom will get you horrendous resolution. So just pretend that there is no video zoom. The microphone on the camera is bad.
The handling of the camera is very good, and it is a beautiful looking gem. And I hope that its being "Made in Japan" will at least buy me more years than my two terrific but unfaithful Fuji F30's. Now if Canon were to come up with a 28mm F2.8 camera that had the same CCD-sensor philosophy and the manual controls as the F30 (fewer Megapixels for superb noise control), I would really PAY for that camera, bad economy or no.
