As well as being compared against other compacts, the Canon PowerShot SD880 IS is also often compared to travel zooms, super zooms, ultra compacts, entry-level DSLRs and digicams. The Canon PowerShot SD880 IS's top rivals come from Canon (such as the PowerShot ELPH 360 HS and the ELPH 100 HS) and Sony (such as the Cyber-shot DSC-WX5 and the Cybershot W570)
Generally, some of the advantages of the Canon SD880 IS compared to other compact competitors include: it has a significantly wider wide angle lens (28 mm vs 35 mm), has a slightly larger screen (3" vs 2.5"), has better image stabilization (lens vs none) and is newer (september 2008 vs may 2007).
However, on average it has a CCD-family sensor (CCD vs CMOS), is slightly heavier (195 g vs 155 g) and doesn't have a viewfinder (none vs tunnel).
Generally, some of the advantages of the Canon SD880 IS compared to travel zoom competitors include: it has a slightly wider aperture (f/2.8 vs f/3.6).
However, on average it doesn't have a built-in GPS, has a CCD-family sensor (CCD vs CMOS), users slower contrast detection autofocus (contrast detection vs phase detection), is older (september 2008 vs january 2016) and is slightly heavier (195 g vs 147 g).
Generally, some of the advantages of the Canon SD880 IS compared to super zoom competitors include: it is slightly smaller (compact (94×57×24 mm) vs standard size (106×76×74 mm)), has better image stabilization (lens vs sensor shift), is thinner (0.9" vs 2.9"), is slightly lighter (195 g vs 413 g) and has a faster max shutter speed (1/1600 of a second vs 1/850 of a second).
However, on average it has a slightly narrower wide angle lens (28 mm vs 24 mm), has a significantly lower resolution screen (230k dots vs 1,040k dots), slightly lower maximum light sensitivity (1,600 ISO vs 12,800 ISO), doesn't have a touch screen and doesn't have a screen which flips out.
Generally, some of the advantages of the Canon SD880 IS compared to ultra compact competitors include: it has a significantly wider wide angle lens (28 mm vs 35 mm) and has a slightly larger screen (3" vs 2.5").
However, on average it is slightly larger (compact (94×57×24 mm) vs ultra compact (91×52×20 mm)), is older (september 2008 vs february 2011), is thicker (0.9" vs 0.8"), is slightly heavier (195 g vs 116 g) and doesn't have a viewfinder (none vs tunnel).
Generally, some of the advantages of the Canon SD880 IS compared to entry-level DSLR competitors include: it has image stabilization (lens vs none), is much smaller (compact (94×57×24 mm) vs professional size (132×101×78 mm)), is thinner (0.9" vs 3") and is significantly lighter (195 g vs 555 g).
However, on average it records lower quality movies (480p @ 30fps vs 1080p @ 60fps), has a slightly smaller screen (3" vs 3.2"), has a much lower resolution screen (230k dots vs 1,040k dots), takes much lower resolution photos (9.8 MP vs 24 MP) and doesn't have a touch screen.
Generally, some of the advantages of the Canon SD880 IS compared to digicam competitors include: it has a much wider wide angle lens (28 mm vs 35 mm), has a significantly larger screen (3" vs 2.5"), has a slightly higher resolution screen (230k dots vs 115k dots), has image stabilization (lens vs none) and is newer (september 2008 vs january 2008).
However, on average it doesn't have a viewfinder (none vs tunnel) and has a slower max shutter speed (1/1600 of a second vs 1/2000 of a second).
