Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon PowerShot SD880IS 10MP Digital Camera with 4x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Silver)
Customer Review: excellent all round camera
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this camera on sale for 199.99. Probably the best compact camera I have ever used. The image quality was almost comparable to my dSLR camera but without the size. The scroll wheel and the functionalities are all excellent in regard to location and ease of access. Camera startup is a little on the slow side due to the need for lens to pan out, however the battery is strong enough to handle the always on and lets you capture shots instantly. Video mode is super clear and with great sound recording as well. This camera also features a super huge lcd monitor and it is crystal sharp! You can zoom in and move across pictures as if using a magnifying glasses on a piece of real film.
The only thing i'd say is to buy a lcd screen protector for 1 dollar and cover that beautiful screen. It is the eyes of the camera, protect it well.
Customer Review: Perfect point and shoot with SLR options
Summary: 5 Stars
I was looking for a camera to use when out hiking, camping, running, x-country motorcycling, and other outdoor activities where we need high speed focus and image capture. The lack of optical zoom is made up for by the high quality pictures. The panoramic is awesome, we take a lot of landscape pictures and that function is really handy, although it is just knocking off the top and bottom rows, the formatting on the screen is more help-full then cropping it yourself. I do recommend the bigger memory card, this camera has no limit to the video other then the card itself. When put into the specific modes, the difference is apparent right away on the large lcd screen (no viewfinder). Custom settings are... very technical. I love it, would recommend it to anyone who does not want to mess around with changing lenses.Customer Review: Canon 890IS

I'm a retired photographer with more cameras than I thought I would ever need, but I always wanted a small camera for traveling. It's hard to drag along a D2x everywhere I go. Though this is not a D2x, for my needs it more than does the job. Sharpness is super for close up shots of people, or objects. Outdoors it also shines with great resolution, and contrast. It can be a simple as turning it on and shooting, or many menu options to cover most situations.
I have had two Kodak cameras, and this one blows them out of the water. My wife grabbed my 14 megapixel Kodak for herself. So I bought this camera after seeing how my daughters Canon 890IS worked. I'm very demanding when it comes to sharp pictures. This does the job, and is very small with lots of goodies to play with.
I love it..
Customer Review: Excellent point and shoot
Summary: 5 Stars
This lives up to Canon's quality. It was easy to use. Just turn it on point and shoot. The camera takes excellent pictures in low light unlike its competitor Nikon. I had a Nikon coolpix and I hated it. Canon has none of the problems the Nikon had. Canon takes good pictures in low light (incandescent lighting), it reloads its flash quick so you don't miss any cute pictures of quick moving toddlers, and when you use the zoom the built in image stabilizer (IS)ensures you have focused pictures. I just can't say how happy I am with this camera. The large lcd screen on the back is just wonderful and the dial on the back to change from point and shoot to where it is more manual is easily identified. One more thing, this camera takes video!!!Customer Review: Love the Wide Angle Capability!
Summary: 5 Stars
Love it! I don't understand why the market doesn't demand more selection of wide angle cameras like this one. Seldom do I wish I had more zoom. Usually, it's "I can't back up far enough to get the whole scene."
At least these days there is PhotoStitch that's free from Canon. It allows you to merge several individual "narrow angle" images into a single "wide angle" one. It works wonderfully but unfortunately it's a big time burner, so that's a main reason I like my new camera.
Secondly, the quality of the video mode - compared with the PowerShot I bought several years ago - is a huge improvement. It's not the same as a video camera but this model has moved a lot closer to being one.
