Canon PowerShot SD880 is Review

he Canon PowerShot SD880 IS is a 10-megapixel camera with a 4x wide-angle optical zoom and has an ISO setting that can support up to 3,200. The IS stand for "image stabilization" and according to Canon, the PowerShot SD880 makes taking group photos go with as much ease as possible. Equipped with Motion Detection Technology and the most up-to-date DIGIC 4 image processor, this small and lightweight digital camera ensures quality photos with every shot.

The Canon PowerShot SD880 IS has a dimension of 3.69 inches in length, 2.24 inches in height, and 0.93 inches in width. It weighs only 105 grams. Being small and lightweight, you can keep this camera in your bag and even in your pocket so you can take it anywhere you want to go without being burdened by its bulk, which is virtually non-existent. Although this camera is small, the buttons are relatively large so it isn't a pain accessing the different functions of the SD880 IS. The LCD screen is also quite large being 3 inches in both length and height, which is impressive for a small camera like the SD880 IS.

One of the main reasons why many users find this camera great is because it is very easy to use. The menus are not confusing and frustrating to navigate so even new users will have no trouble accessing the different modes and making the necessary adjustments they want in their shots. The Auto Mode makes shooting photos even easier as it lets the camera make the adjustments on its own, the user will only have to point and shoot. Together with the large LCD screen, the easy-to-navigate menu, and the large buttons, the Canon PowerShot SD880 is by far one of the easier digital cameras to use these days.

Although it is small, it packs quite a wallop when it comes to image quality. The pictures taken are clear and the color details are pleasing to the eye. There are three quality options users can choose from: Normal, Fine and Superfine. The Canon PowerShot SD 880 IS also offers numerous picture effects mode, which a lot of users should find enjoyable. Best of all, the widescreen capability of this camera allows pictures to be taken at an impressive resolution of 3648 x 2048 - a pretty powerful specification for a small camera.

Of course, the SD880 IS is far from being perfect. There have been negative feedbacks about black screen problems by some users. The cause may vary from user to user so no general consensus has been made yet to address this problem.

To sum up, the Canon PowerShot SD880 IS is one of the more impressive digital cameras available in the market targeted to the commercial consumers. It is very easy to handle with a user-friendly interface and an Auto Mode, which makes taking pictures easier. The image quality is also good and the color details accurate, making SD8800 one of the better point-and-shoot cameras out in the market today.
