 Great pocket camera January 6, 2009
I know a fair amount about cameras. I have large expensice cameras and have carried a Canon powershot sd550 7.1 megapixel which is older and took great photos. Have enlarged many of the photos from the sd550 and they look great. I dont really want to carry the larger camera because of the great quality with the smaller cameras and the ease of their use. I wanted the wider lens on the sd 880. It is great! better than the 550 since the wider lens is good for outdoors and architecture photos.Great movies also. Got the 4gig sdhc card from amazon for like $18 which was a deal. I was looking at the sd990 which is over 14 megapixels bout it does not have the wide lens. This none is great.

There isn't a better place to shop on line or "off line" than Amazon.com. Service, price and response time can't be beat. It's the only way to shop.
thank you.

This SD880IS Thrills Me January 6, 2009
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Before I bought this camera I read all the reviews that I could find. I had almost decided on the Canon A590 until I came across the SD880 IS. I own a previous elfh (SD600) and still love it but wanted to upgrade to a newer model. I have the Nikon D40 also but didn't want to lug it around all the time when I'm traveling or for quick shots. I must say that I couldn't be happier with this model. It produces great pictures under any circumstances. I was really surprised at how powerful the flash is. I took pictures in a completely darkened room and they came out crystal clear. A few I will post here on Amazon. I have not had any problems so far as others have stated. I have always been intrigued with cameras so when I find one that really thrills me as this one has, I like to share it with others. If you are trying to make a decision on which model to purchase maybe this will help. I am 99% sure that you won't be disappointed.

I have the Canon sd880 and this sd880 is just as awesome a camera. I love them both. I just wanted more pixel is the only reason for buying another one.
 SD880 delivers blurry, unclear pictures! So disappointed !!! January 4, 2009

I was very disappointed in the photo quality of SD880 too. I previously owned the A520, A530. The pictures were very clear & sharp, The colors were very good too!!I loved Canon & took A530 with me wherever I went.
Because Canon' "A" series cameras may have the "Battery Low" problem & it happened in my A530 half year ago, So, I did my homework & brought SD880 in 11/2008.
I was so disappointed about the qualities of all 400+ pictures I took. I compared them with my A530's pictures which I owned for 2 years. The SD880's pictures are blurry, the objects' edges were not sharp & unclear, The wide-view feature twisted the objects on both sides of the pictures. The colors were not as bright & nature as A530's. Another thing was "not easy to hand hold it" & easily mass up the set-up by touching the bottoms unnoticed.
But Amazon was nice enough to let me returned it a week ago. I believe there is trade off the picture quality with the thin design. I think I will buy A590 from Amazon.com after the return process complete.
