Description — Canon SD880 IS
The Canon PowerShot SD880 IS is a straightforward point-and-shoot camera centered on a 1/2.3-inch, 10MP sensor and Canon's DIGIC 4 image processor. It captures stills at up to 3648x2736 pixels and offers three color profiles — Standard, Vivid, and Neutral — for JPEG output. The contrast-detection autofocus system uses 9 focus points to lock onto subjects quickly. Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) helps reduce camera shake, making it useful for handheld shooting in moderate lighting.
The ISO range of 80 to 1600 covers everyday scenarios from bright daylight to dimmer indoor settings. A 3.0-inch, 230,000-dot LCD serves as the primary interface for framing and reviewing shots. Video recording is available at 480p/30fps.
Storage uses SD and SDHC cards, and the camera connects via USB. A built-in flash is included. The body is made of plastic, measures 92.6 x 56.8 x 24.0 mm, and weighs 155g, with the NB-5L Lithium-Ion battery rated at up to 300 shots per charge.
