The Canon PowerShot SD880 IS Digital Camera - See the World Widely and Capture Everything You See

It's so easy to capture the magic of every moment when the SD880 IS Digital ELPH comes along for the ride. There's a terrific sense of creative options for your photographic sense with a wide range of shooting modes and a wide-angle 28mm lens - all because your camera sees the world without limits. Of course, it's a stylish point of view from a camera that merges up-to-the-moment performance with the art of impeccable design.

Nothing Small About 10.0 Megapixel Resolution.
Trendy and slick 10.0 Megapixel camera expands the Digital ELPH line to allow greater freedom when editing and printing.

With the PowerShot SD880 IS Digital ELPH camera's 10.0 megapixels of imaging power, you've got a passport to unsurpassed image quality and versatility. Go ahead, enlarge pictures bigger than ever before without worrying about the image quality. And look forward to much more creative flexibility when you're cropping and printing. The SD880 IS Digital ELPH may be ultra-slim and sculpture-sleek, but its focus is on the power of visual impact.

Get Close and Personal.
4x Optical Zoom with Optical Image Stabilizer plus a 28mm wide-angle lens gets you up close and personal to your subjects as well as capture more in your frame.

When it's time to take a closer look, the PowerShot SD880 IS Digital ELPH features a 4x Optical Zoom and advanced Optical Image Stabilizer, greatly minimizing camera shake and maximizing the brilliance of every detail. And Canon's precision 28 mm wide-angle lens lets you capture more in every frame, so everyone fits in a family gathering shot.

The SD880 IS Digital ELPH camera's wide-angle zoom lens reaches all the way from 28mm at the wide end to 112mm at the telephoto end (35mm format equivalent). You'll capture more image in every shot, and add greater depth to your overall photography.

See the Image in a Big Screen.
Large high-quality 3.0-inch PureColor LCD II for bright, accurate color with wide viewing angle and an anti-glare, anti-scratch coating.

The PowerShot SD880 IS Digital ELPH gives you a large 3.0-inch LCD screen for excellent control when framing your shots. Canon's PureColor LCD II offers spectacular color, resolution and contrast even when viewed at an angle. The screen is highly durable and easy to see in any light with a scratch-resistant, anti-reflective coating. It also features Night Display for easy viewing in low light - a perfect feature for gathering friends and family around to see your images.

Take Blur Out of the Picture.
New DIGIC 4 Image Processor improves Face Detection, adds Servo AF, Face Detection Self-Timer and Intelligent Contrast Correction for greater flexibility.

DIGIC 4 Image Processor
Canon's proprietary DIGIC Image Processors have long set its cameras apart from the competition, and the new DIGIC 4 sets the bar even higher. Faster, more accurate noise reduction delivers better image quality, even at high ISO speeds.

iSAPS Technology is an entirely original scene-recognition technology developed for digital cameras by Canon. Using an internal database of thousands of different photos, iSAPS works with the advanced DIGIC 4 Image Processor to improve focus speed and accuracy, as well as exposure and white balance.

A new Face Self-Timer automatically detects an increase in the number of faces and makes the appropriate adjustments. For instance, to include photographer's face in a group shot, there's no need to rush in. Just put the camera on a stand or tripod, and specify Face Self-Timer, and the camera will wait for the photographer's face to get on-camera before it takes the shot. Motion Detection now tracks moving subjects in a much larger range, and the new Servo AF retains focus on a moving subject after the shutter button is pressed halfway - allowing you to wait for the perfect shot without refocusing. Also, Face Detection and Motion Detection are markedly improved.

Intelligent Contrast Correction
DIGIC 4 also makes possible the new i-Contrast (Intelligent Contrast Correction) system, which controls the compensation level in pixel units to brighten dark areas while leaving bright areas unchanged for better images where the main subject is dark, and more natural transition. The PowerShot SD880 IS Digital ELPH can even use i-Contrast in playback mode to adjust images that were shot without the setting activated.

Red-eye Correction provides three options for removing red-eye from subjects in flash pictures.
1) The Red-eye Correction during shooting actually identifies and corrects red-eye in human subjects as pictures are taken.
2) The SD880 IS Digital ELPH can be set to automatically detect and correct red-eye during image playback.
3) You can manually locate any red eyes in a scene during image playback on the LCD screen, and command the camera to remove them.

Life doesn't give you second chances to capture special times. That's why the SD880 IS Digital ELPH features ISO 1600 and High ISO Auto settings that reduce the effects of camera shake and sharpen subjects in low-light situations, giving you greater shooting flexibility. ISO can be expanded to 3200 when you select ISO 3200 Special Scene mode.

Instant Creative Control.
A wide range of shooting modes to capture anything.

Now you're free to concentrate on what really counts - your subject. All you have to do is turn to the setting that best matches the scene you're viewing through the lens. The PowerShot SD880 IS Digital ELPH does the rest. It chooses the perfect exposure, aperture and flash. You've got Special Scenes Modes to handle a wide range of common shooting situations - effortlessly.

With 19 Shooting Modes including 16 Special Scene Modes, you're ready for whatever shot comes your way.

Shooting Modes - Advanced presets for the best possible photos under certain conditions.

Auto - The camera chooses all the settings so you can concentrate on your subject.
P Program - Access advanced exposure compensation features while shooting mostly automatically.
Movie - Shoot in high resolution VGA (640 x 480 at 30 fps), QVGA (320 x 240 at 30 fps) for up to 1 hour or 4GB per clip.

Special Scene Modes

Portrait - The camera sets a large aperture, focusing the subject and artistically blurring the background to make your subject pop.
Foliage - Capture brilliant shots of autumn foliage, greenery and blossoms.
Snow - Shoot clear snow scenes without darkened subjects or an unnatural bluish tint.
Beach - Get clear shots of people at a sunny beach without darkened faces.
Sunset - Capture stunning sunsets with all the dazzle and impact.
Fireworks - Grab brilliant images of skyrocketing fireworks.
Aquarium - Achieve proper flash-free exposure and natural hues at indoor aquariums.

Beach - Expands the user's ability to shoot in dark settings without using the flash.
Kids & Pets - Reduced focusing time for even faster shutter response, so you won't miss those special shots. Night Snapshot - Get natural-looking pictures with brighter backgrounds and subjects lit by flash.
Color Accent - Choose to retain a single color in your image while other colors turn monochrome. Color Swap - Select a color and replace it with a color you specify for special effects.
Digital Macro - Shoot larger-than-life close-ups with one-button simplicity.
Stitch Assist - Build awe-inspiring panoramas by neatly aligning sequential images.

Great Pictures, Great Price.

"We bought the Canon SD880IS mainly for travel as we have and regularly use a Nikon D80 with 18-55, 55-200, and 70-300mm lenses. The SD880IS' screen is big and bright in all light levels and it is obviously much more portable than the D80 with 3 lenses, remote flashes, etc. To test it, we took both cameras to watch the recent Space Shuttle Launch. The photos produced with this camera were almost as good as those ..." Read Full Review »

Noise a very big issue in this camera.

"My dissatisfaction with the Canon SD880IS all stem from really missing my old Fujifilm F30. That good old camera has the best lens/CCD of any point-n-shoot that I've ever seen. Even ISO1600 photos were usable. Everything was low noise. But [*] the two F30's that I've owned all crashed way before reaching 2 full years of use. Yes, I had liked the camera so much that after the first one died I bought another one t..." Read Full Review »

I bought it to replace my SD-1000 which I loved and took over 6000 pictures with in just over a year.

When it was time to upgrade (mainly because a friend dropped my SD-1000 and the flash never worked again) I researched point and shoots (even non Canon models) for o …"  Read Full Review »
