Casio EXILIM EX-S880 Review

Review Summary
Reader Score: 6.80 (out of 10)
Review (Summary): "Usually, newer versions of cameras offer noticeable upgrades, such as more-advanced processors, higher-resolution sensors, and more features. Sometimes, though, this "next big thing" turns out to actually be worse than what came before it. Casio's Exilim EX-S880 joins this group, falling short of the standard set by the EX-S770. ...

... Casio's noise reduction processing only exacerbates what looks like a soft lens to begin with. While the camera technically takes 8-megapixel pictures, very little appreciable detail finds its way past the blanket of blur, making things such as text and the textures of fabrics hard to discern when shooting at ISO 200 or above. ..."

Review (Summary): "The Exilim EX-S880 is an 8.1-megapixel, 3x zoom ultra-compact camera featuring a 2.8-inch high-resolution widescreen monitor. It will come as little surprise to anyone who watches the digital camera market that externally the S880 is almost identical to its predecessor. It has exactly the same strong and stylish steel body, with exactly the same slim dimensions, just 94.5 x 60.4 x 17.3mm, making it once again one of the thinnest cameras on the market. ...

... With the Exilim EX-S880, Casio once again proves that it is a force to be reckoned with in the digital camera market. Although it is competing with some very impressive products from other manufacturers, there are few that can match its combination of ultra-compact size, excellent build quality, striking design, crisp performance, superior image quality and fantastic value for money. ..."

Review (Summary): "Looking to be the next YouTube star? The 8.1-megapixel Casio Exilim EX-S880 can record good-quality movies optimized for YouTube and upload them directly to the site. Unfortunately, image quality on still shots leaves a lot to be desired, especially when compared with competing cameras, like the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T70 and the Canon PowerShot SD1100 IS. ...

Aside from impressive video capabilities, the EX-S880 packs in a 38mm to 114mm (35mm equivalent) lens with 3X optical zoom, as well as face detection and image stabilization. Face detection, which can be set to "normal" or "family first" - a useful feature that gives priority to faces that are stored in the camera's memory, worked well. Image stabilization also performed well, keeping blur to a minimum. ..."
