Canon SD880 Powershot Digital Elph is just one digital digicam in a variety of "Canon powershot" models. There are a number of them like the Sd880, which is a slightly older, and one of many here to stay models.
The rationale it's "here to stay" is solely that it's one of those digital cameras that will get the job performed and gets it completed well... In the Canon SD880 Powershot Review you will discover that it scores very extremely well in all categories. I'm giving it 5 out of 5 in all accept one category. You can go to see which on the review itself...
The 10-megapixel PowerShot SD880 IS Digital Elph is the recent release and follow-up to the SD870, and is a perfectly up to date version of a camera that everybody just fell in love with..
Capable of producing a superb quality of shot for a digital camera of its small measurement, you'd be forgiven for thinking that you immediately developed a magical touch. In your very first photographs you may with little doubt find Canon SD880 powershot a surpisingly good improvement. I personally was amazed by it's performance...
(Truth is, I like anything that makes me look good!)
There are small weaknesses, as you will see on the Canon SD880 review sales page, but this is an excellent point-and-shoot camera, which for the price, outshines the competition easily.
It's dimensions are good too...
First of all there's an amazingly large screen on the Canon SD880 which takes up nearly the whole back of the digital camera! The screen itself is nice and vibrant, and crystal clear. This means that even the on sunniest of days, you will still find it easy to get a clear view of your shots. One thing that many different producers really fall fowl on.
6.3 ounces in weight it is nice and light. At 3.7 inches broad by 2.2 inches high by just 0.9 inch deep, it will perfectly fit comfortably in your coat pocket with ease. There are loads of smaller cameras on the market than the SD880, however I reckon, if it slips into a coat pocket, it is small enough.
In comparison with the previous model, the old SD870 IS, the new updated SD880 IS has the very newest release of of Canon's image-processing engine, Digic 4 taking it from eight megapixels to an amazingly clear 10, which suggests if you want, you can easiy get large prints without any of the normal loss of clarity.
It additionally now offers you a couple of extra "scene" modes. It's 4x f28-58 28-112mm lens is one of the highlights of the camera. You're getting a great little wide angle lense!
It is a good touch that Canon have used here.. and so nice to have, especially on a digicam that isn't a DSLR... A digital camera as small as this one? That is exceptionally good. You're also getting a more powerful zoom than on the SD870, and a dramatically improved video mode, as Canon SD880 Powershot is now utilizing the H.264 codec as an alternative to the outdated Motion JPEG. Motion JPEG was good, but the H.264 codec makes an actual noticeable difference. Enough to warrant a special point out in my book.
