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.
 Seems great in first 24 hours - but no time-lapse video mode!!! January 3, 2009

I just received my SD880, after having previously owned an SD750 that I handed down to my Mom. I've played with the SD880 for all of a day, so I can hardly add much to the previous detailed reviews. I have a digital SLR already (Canon 5D) but it's heavy and bulky, and I've found a need for a pocket camera I can take everywhere, when I don't want to lug around the 5D. Plus I can use it as my (only) video camera.
The SD750 was nice - I took it to Italy when I bought it as a pocket camera. In the SD880 I looked forward to a wider angle lens and Image Stabilization - two glaring issues I had with the SD750 (where I NEVER seemed to be able to get far enough back).
The SD880 seems much more responsive (faster processor) in interactive use than the SD750 and of course takes nice pictures. However, one HUGE disappointment is that the SD880 does not have a "time-lapse" movie mode!!! Time-lapse may seem like a gimmick if you've not used it, but I found it incredibly fun on the SD750. When in Italy I used it with my tripod to record some fun videos such as tourists at the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and that was my favorite video shown to my friends from my trip. I may have reconsidered my purchase (or gotten last year's SD870 instead) had I known this feature would be removed - I just assumed this would be a standard feature since it was in the old SD750 and is still in their other consumer cameras. I don't really need the extra Megapixels. I feel cheated.
Otherwise, I look forward to having a compact walk-around camera that takes nice pictures.
