The Canon PowerShot SD880 IS Digital ELPH
continues the "Perpetual Curve" design with a new Gold-and-Brown or Silver-and-Black two-tone colors. As with other Digital ELPH series, it is ultra slim, elegant, stylish and well-built.
[Canon camera naming scheme can sometimes be quite confusing: in Japan and Europe the Canon PowerShot SD880 IS Digital ELPH is known as the Canon Digital IXUS 870 IS.]
The PowerShot SD880 IS has 10.0MP resolution on a 1/2.3-inch image sensor,
4.0x wide-angle optical zoom (28-112mm) with optical Image Stabilization, a F2.8 maximum aperture, and
a shutter speed range of 15-1/1,600 sec. The large 3.0-in. LCD has 230,000 dots
resolution with a wide viewing angle, scratch-resistant and, anti-reflective coating for easier
on-camera viewing, and Night Display for easier viewing in low light. The 28mm wide-angle allows you to capture wide landscapes and large group shots.
A new Face Detection function allows you to select a face to focus on -- and the camera will follow that face in a certain area even if the person moves. Other Face Detection features include Servo AF, Face Self-Timer, and i-Contrast to automatically people's faces.
The SD880 IS is point-and-shoot easy to use with Programmed Auto and 16 easy-to-use special Scene Modes that includes the popular Color Accent, where you choose to retain a single color in your image while other colors turn monochrome.
Movie can be shot at 640 x 480 pixels @ 30fps for a 1 hour or 4GB clip at one time.
The Canon Powershot SD880 IS Digital ELPH is ultra compact, fashionable and easy-to-use
take-anywhere point-and-shoot digital camera.
