 Not good camera for a non-camera person December 2, 2008
Let me start by saying that I'm not a camera guy - being a great photographer would be really cool, but that's not me. I take pictures because I want to see the things in my life, not to create art. I like to have some control over a few features (a mode setting, shutter speed, flash, zoom) but I'm pretty much a pick-it-up, point and shoot guy. I actually read the manual for this camera (front to back!) and I owned an earlier model Canon PowerShot from a couple years ago. All that goes to say that your experience with this camera might be different than mine if you're different than me, if you know more about cameras or if you have the time to research the issues (I note that many of the very favorable reviews of this camera come from people who seem to know a lot about cameras).
My main beef with this camera is that the pictures are very fuzzy and blurry. I've tried all the pre-set modes (it has a bunch, many more than my old Canon - Fireworks setting, Aquarium setting, Snow setting...) and they all seem to involve fairly long shutter times, so the pictures tend to range from slightly blurry or hazy to downright fuzzy - if the subject moves at all, or if you are not completely steady, the picture is compromised, regardless of the mode you use. This problem is much worse if you turn off the flash, which I do quite a bit because the camera autoflashes even if the lighting is ok but not great and, if you're within 5 or 6 feet of the subject, the flash will completely bleach out the picture (faces are just bright white blobs). The camera seems to automatically slow down the shutter speed even more without the flash on, so the problem of blur becomes worse. I think this would proably be ok if you tend to take "staged" pictures of things that don't move much (adults, landscapes, etc) from places where you can have a good steady hand and time to concentrate on being still, but I take pictures of my kids, and I usually only have a split second to catch them and no time to concentrate on steadying the camera. This camera is just not good at that.
For the non-photographer, the manual setting menus are virtually incomprehensible - I tried to use them to get past this problem and haven't figured them out at all.
I give this camera 3 stars because I assume there must be a way to solve this problem if I just knew more about the camera or spent more time researching it. My wife, who's about the same level of sophistication as me with cameras, detests this camera and is about to buy a different camera even though we've only had this one for a month and a half. All in all, I would not buy this camera again - I'm sure it's great for some things, but it just wasn't meant for someone like me.
 SD870IS is better than this newer model December 1, 2008
3 out of 5 found this review helpful
I've had the SD870IS for over a year now and I can tell you that it's the best Powershot camera Canon has ever produced. Something went terribly wrong with the SD880IS camera Canon recently came out with and this is why you should look towards getting the SD870IS over the SD880IS. You can see the real difference when taking picture in doors. With the SD880IS, all pictures seem to come out grainy and washed out. I thought I had a bad camera, so I returned it for a replacement. The replacement took even worse pictures, so I returned that one as well. I think Canon cheaped out when producing this new model in trying to sell mass quantities for a lesser price. Shame on Canon for putting out such rubbish! If you want the real deal and the best Powershop Canon on the market, get the SD870IS and you will never look at any of the other models ever again. Just look at all the positive reviews for the SD870IS and you will understand what I mean. As for the SD880IS, all I can say is Get Outta Here!
 Typical Canon the best cameras made December 1, 2008
Good point & shoot. Easy to use and understand with necessary options.

 great potential, but too much noise December 1, 2008
I am photographer with years of experience and have used over two dozen digital cameras (from DSLRs to point-and-shoots). This is a fine camera, except that it suffers from excessive noise (even at 80 and 100 ISO) for it to be fully useful. The 10MP is of limited value, as most of the pixels are smeared by the aggressive noise reduction. Bumping down to lower MP levels does not alleviate the problem. Could be a good camera to use in full sunlight or outdoor shots, but not for anything indoors. While one can't expect any point-and-shoot to have the sensitivity of a DSLR, my old Canon SD1000 pocket cam performs better than the SD880 in this regard.
Amazing for Price December 1, 2008
This is really my first real digital camera, and i love it. It took me a while to learn the controls and how to use the clicker wheel or whatever, but after that I had it on lock. It makes photography easy because of how it has so many automated settings. All you really have to do is take the shot. let the camera do the rest. I think its probably the best camera for the price.
