The most exciting thing about the new Canon PowerShot SD880 IS Digital ELPH camera is that it's an update to the really popular SD870 IS. However, that doesn't mean Canon didn't try to improve on its past success.
The new model features the company's latest DIGIC 4 image processor, a 10-megapixel resolution, 4x, 28-112mm-equivalent wide-angle lens, 3.0-inch LCD, and optical image stabilization.

Available in two-tone gold and brown and black and silver, you'll be able to pick up this ELPH for $349 in October.

1) IT IS BIG. like 5.5 oz, about 30% larger than their older models. No longer able to slip it into a shirt pocket
2) NO zoom during the video.
3) The videos are HUGE like 4x my other cameras in the same 320 mode.
Every cameras should be 28mm though
