TestSeek's Expert Reviews Summary
Staff at TestSeek has read all the expert reviews (so you don't have to) for this product and written a summary of what the editors think about the product.
The Canon Powershot SD880 Digital ELPH is an ultra compact and sleek metal digi-cam. It contains a 10 megapixel sensor, a 28-112mm wise zooming lens, and an anti glare 3 inch LCD screen with an anti-scratch coating. Plus it has additional features like a face recognition system, self-timer, Servo AF, i-Contrast and also H.264 codec for movies. Image quality is very good, with a balanced colour combination and saturated hues in addition to proper white balance feature. The DIGIC 4 processor gives a 16-scene mode making it very easy to shoot in dense trees, the beach, sunlit areas and bright objects.
Another unique feature is the colour accent mode which lets you select a single colour for the images while the rest remain monochrome. The camera also takes minimal start-up time, and shutter lag is almost non-existent. However, the shot time is slightly excessive at 3.5 seconds.

TestSeek's Conclusion
In spite of the camera’s bulk and the slow shot timing, the camera is a very good buy especially for beginners, and for people looking for a model that is easy to handle. It is affordable, catchy and quite fast when it comes to point-and-shoot capabilities.
Abstract: The Canon PowerShot SD880 IS is an attractive compact point-and-shoot. We like the large three-inch LCD on the back and the easy-to-press buttons. With only three stops on the mode dial this should be a simple camera for beginners to pick up and shoot...
Abstract: IXUS 870 IS er et billigt og godt lommekamera. Skærmen er stor og god. I svagt lys forstærker den lyset bedre end de andre, så man nemt kan se motivet selv i mørke. Menuen er overskuelig, letlæselig, på dansk og nem at bruge. Kommer du fra et ældre Can...
Grand angle (28 mm), zoom 4x, mode macro 2 cm, Appareil réactif (mise sous tension, autofocus), Large écran de 3 pouces lumineux, Qualité globale des images jusqu'à 800 ISO, Interface agréable et facile à prendre en main
Objectif globalement un peu mou, Pas de zoom optique pendant l'enregistrement vidéo, pas de format HD, Ecran LCD 3 pouces 230 000 points seulement, Toujours pas d'histogramme d'exposition, Cadence rafale à 1,5 i/s
Très attendu, le Canon Ixus 870 IS est un bon compact qui manque cruellement d'ambition : pas de vidéo HD, écran 230 000 points, rafale à 1,5 i/s et une qualité d'image en retrait par rapport aux précédents...
Les feuilles tombent et la Bourse va mal. Pas de doute, nous sommes en plein mois de novembre ! Canon vient briser la morosité ambiante avec son nouvel IXUS, le 870 IS, qui succède fort logiquement au 860 IS. La continuité a du bon. Derrière son œil...

The most striking thing about this camera is its appearance. If there were a beauty contest for cameras the Ixus 870is would be a shoo-in. Focus is generally quick and accurate with good sharpness and resolution. Exposure and white balance are just OK....
There is some noise visible at ISO200, but generally it is well controlled without too much obvious noise reduction. Images straight from the camera are a little soft but we found that they responded to sharpening in Photoshop. However any sharpening a...
We like this camera because of its superb design and construction, and we found that by sticking with an ISO setting of 80–100 we could get excellent results. Even at ISO400 the pictures are acceptable for standard size prints. *
