Canon PowerShot SD880

Design / LayoutViewfinder
The Canon PowerShot SD880 IS does not have a viewfinder, a feature it loses compared to it's big brother, the SD990 IS.
One place where the Canon PowerShot SD880 IS outperforms the SD990 IS is the LCD display. The three-inch display is 0.5 inches larger than the SD990IS. It does have the same resolution (230,000 pixels), which means objects on the screen might be a bit less sharp, but frankly we'd rather have the increased real estate.
The 3-inch LCD isn't a high-res display, but it's still a nice feature.
A tiny flash is located above and to the right of the lens on the front. Unlike the SD990 IS and higher-end PowerShot cameras like the G10, the SD880 IS lacks any controls to regulate the flash output.
The flash is small and close to the lens.
The Canon PowerShot SD880 IS sports a 5.0 - 20.0mm, f/2.8 - f/5.8 lens with 4x optical zoom. The lens retracts into the body when you're not using it, so the small and light package can slip easily into your pocket.
The lens retracts back into the body and offers a 4x optical zoom.
Connections
Like the SD990 IS the Canon PowerShot SD880 IS's only connector is a mini USB port that serves for both data transfers and A/V output.
The battery is found beneath a door on the bottom of the camera. It uses a proprietary rechargeable battery that Canon rates for 310 shots on a single charge.
The Canon PowerShot SD880 IS supports SD and SDHC cards, which are currently available in capacities up to 32GB.
