agreed, kingradin. The menu of the SD880 works like a breeze and you´re always back in shooting mode with the press of one button. And the battery life is excellent.

i don like the way SONY cameras work !!! canon is much better ! more professional, better performance, easer menu [user-friendly menu], better features !! so, i’d say just look for canon !!

yes, exactly !! …
yes, exactly !! they just say what features a product has, they never mention what is NOT included !! thats the marketing !

i agree, charging battery outside of a camera is kinda trouble, but it gets the battery a longer life. btw, an extra battery ins not in the box !!

any way, though CANON cameras lack some nice features, but in all the cameras i have worked with, has the best and user-friendliest menu !!

vadim2hot4you, I recorded under various conditions, including live concerts, and I´m quite pleased with the results. I have no experience with other compacts tho, and it has no HD. Under very dim circumstances, you´ll be mostly recording blackness. And obviously it´s not a substitute for a handycam.
BTW it has a built-in sound-recorder (mono), so you can also record just sound e.g. at a live concert while keeping the camera in your pocket.

Kingradin, thanks …
Kingradin, thanks for letting me know. You´re probably right. Usually manufacturers are pretty eager to tell what product CAN do. In my manual of the SD880, it seems that the possibility to recharge the camera through USB is carefully circumvented. Bit of a bummer.
I have to add though, the charger that recharges the battery when it´s out of the camera works excellent and fast. And you can keep using the camera when you have an extra battery.
