In their place are big, asymmetrical buttons that follow the curve of the short edge of the camera body. Gone are the tiny round pinheads surrounding the Control Dial that pass for buttons on other cameras. And images in Playback mode look great.īut the real beauty of the Canon SD880's back side is the button layout. Type on the menus is sharp, clear and large. Like most digicams not parading as bargain cameras, it has a 3.0-inch LCD that's a pleasure to look at even in direct sunlight.

The back side of the Canon SD880 IS is almost as pleasing to look at as the front. The shell is metal with a metal tripod socket, but if it were ours, we'd tuck the Canon SD880 into a small soft case like Canon's $20 PSC-55. But the Canon SD880 will slip into a pocket or purse without a problem and includes a tasteful black wrist strap to retrieve and secure it. It's also a little bit slimmer, though nowhere near as slim as Sony and Casio wafer-thin ultracompacts. That combination of function and style makes the Canon SD880 IS even more attractive than its fellow ELPHs. The Canon SD880 IS has a nice flare at the top that helps you grip the little thing a bit more securely. ELPHs are designed to stand up on their short end, rather than lounge along the long side like other digicams. You won't regret a long-term relationship with this ELPH. And Canon's PowerShot SD880 IS will make your heart skip more than a beat, not only with its very attractive shell but with the best button layout ever seen on a PowerShot. The Canon PowerShot SD880 IS will ship in the USA from October 2008, priced at US$300 or less. Power is likewise unchanged, coming from a proprietary NB-5L lithium-ion rechargeable battery. The Canon SD880 also offers both NTSC / PAL video and USB 2.0 High Speed computer connectivity, like its predecessor. The Canon PowerShot SD880 is unchanged from its predecessor in storing its images and movies on Secure Digital cards, and includes a not-very-generous 32MB card in the product bundle.

As with the previous camera, sound is recorded along with movie clips. Where the SD870 offered Motion JPEG AVI movies, the Canon SD880 opts for H.264 MOV instead - a newer format which generally offers significantly improved compression (and hence smaller file sizes) for equivalent video quality. There are sixteen scene modes, and the Canon SD880 also offers a new Intelligent Contrast Correction function.

Flash range when set to Auto ISO is rated at 1 - 13.8 feet (30cm - 4.2m) at wide angle, and 1 - 6.6 feet (30cm - 2m) at telephoto.

Likewise, the Canon SD880 is much like the SD870 in that it offers only a program mode, with no options for aperture- or shutter-priority shooting, let alone a fully manual mode. Metering modes are unchanged - evaluative, center-weighted and spot all being offered. Available PowerShot SD880 shutter speeds are unchanged, ranging from 1/1,600 to 15 seconds. A new high sensitivity scene mode allows this to be boosted to a maximum of ISO 3,200, however. The standard ISO sensitivity range offered by the Canon SD880 IS is unchanged from the SD870, with a minimum of ISO 100 through to a maximum of ISO 1,600. The Canon PowerShot SD880 IS's LCD display has identical size and resolution to that in the previous camera: it's a 3.0-inch design with 230,000 dots, but Canon also claims higher contrast. Canon says the camera will now recognize faces at most angles, and has included a Face Detection self timer which automatically takes a photo two seconds after an additional face enters the scene. As well as the previously mentioned AF tracking, the Canon SD880 IS's autofocus system now has improved face detection capability. Maximum aperture is f/2.8 to a rather dim f/5.8 across the zoom range. As with its predecessor, the Canon SD880 IS includes true optical image stabilization to help combat image blurring due to camera shake. The added magnification power is all found at the telephoto end, with the overall range varying from a useful 28mm wide-angle to a moderate 112mm telephoto. The Canon SD880's zoom lens is just slightly expanded to a 4x zoom from the 3.8x optical zoom in the SD870. Under that pretty skin, the Canon SD880 uses a slightly larger 1/2.3-inch CCD image sensor, and simultaneously boosts resolution from eight to 10 megapixels, along with upgrading the previous model's DIGIC III processor to a DIGIC 4 type that allows for servo AF tracking. The Canon SD880 also reduces the body height and thickness ever so slightly. Canon's PowerShot SD880 IS digital camera replaces the company's previous PowerShot SD870 IS model, and updates the chassis with an edgier style.
