Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon PowerShot SD880IS 10MP Digital Camera with 4x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Silver)
Customer Review: Well-Priced, High Quality Camera. Love it!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm certainly not an expert in selecting the best point and shoot cameras; however, I did do a lot of research (i.e. talking to experts, reading reviews, in-store testing, etc.) to determine which features I couldn't live without and decide which camera met each of my requirements. I had a Canon P&S already so I was already a big fan but I've got to say out of all the Canon's I looked at this one really impressed me. It exceeds all my expectations as a mom who is really just looking for a good camera to get great shots of my family. I don't do any fancy tricks (yet) but now I have endless possibilities to have fun with my photography. You can learn all the technical details from the other posted reviews and the manufacturer information. I just wanted to express how easy this product is to use and how wonderful the quality is for what I consider an upgrade to our previous camera. I've already enjoyed the new features in my first week of ownership. I highly recommend.Customer Review: 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.

"This camera was a totally unexpected Christmas gift from my hubby. I was a little concerned because he is technically challenged and me being a gadget girl, I was sure I was in for disappiontment, boy was I wrong!!! This camera is not only beautiful (love, love, love the gold color) plus it came with a package deal had a METAL neckstrap, leather case and an extra battery.
The camera has so many features I am not sure I will ever use many of them. You will definitely need to read the manual to get the most out of your camera and afterwards, it didn't take me long to figure out how to change all the beepings, tickings & timers so that I could use the continuous shoot mode. I haven't used the video mode or the self-timer as of yet but the still pictures are beautiful and I love the nice screen size....... So, if you are looking for the perfect camera then do yourself a favor & buy this one, you will not regret it....."
Customer Review: Wonderful Camera
Summary: 5 Stars
I really like this camera! I have had Canon cameras forever (the old film and develop type) and a "cheaper" digital. I wanted an all around camera that had the major bells and whistles but was still easy to use. I researched quite a few different models (and brands), came back to Canon and decided on the PowerShot SD880IS. This is truly an ideal camera for me. I have had NO trouble with any of the features and the battery stays charged for a very long time. The pictures are quite crisp and clear, the various settings are easy to access and change, the image stabilization feature works great, it is the perfect size to throw in my purse or backpack and have handy at any time and the included software package makes downloading and working with pictures very easy. I know this isn't a top of the line camera but it sure takes wonderful pictures. I would highly recommend this camera to anyone who enjoys taking great pictures.Customer Review: My SD 880 IS is superb!

I have read the negative reviews of the SD 880 IS and can only conclude that there must have been a small batch of cameras that were defective since the majority of evaluations were positive. I have owned a number of Canons and they have been excellent. I have had the 880 since last November when I passed my SD 870 IS down to my son. I wanted the new features and they have proved very beneficial. The picture quality, especially sharpness and color saturation, are exceptional especially when enlarging to letter sized prints. I recommended this camera to a friend of mine and unfortunately he had the "black screen" experience mentioned in one of the negative reviews. Before the problem, however, he took over 800 really beautiful pictures in Egypt, Jordan and the Holy Land.
I hope Canon rectifies the defects in manufacturing as I am a big supporter of these wonderful little cameras.
