Hearts Canon SD 880

December 04, 2008

If you follow me on Flickr you might’ve noticed that the amount of pictures I upload to Flickr has increased dramatically recently. It’s not just because I’m back home in Japan but also I got a new camera Canon SD880 (or IXY 920 is in Japan) and it works really well.

It’s a straight upgrade from my previous model Canon SD800 but this one has a new image processing engine Digic4 and has automatic face recognition, and really smart automatic exposure. Those ones I uploaded to Flickr didn’t have any customization besides that I change the color to VIVID, and all other ISO and exposure settings were automatic (besides I made the default exposure to lower like -2/3). Ken Rockwell has more reviews and tips.

I highly recommend this camera as a main compact if you’re not DSLR photo geek, or even if you are, the best alternative if you want to take daily photos without carrying around the heavy one.
