"Overall, the camera operates nice and quickly. Start up is less than 2 seconds. Focus time is very good under normal conditions and up to about 2 seconds under tough conditions. If you get a pre-focus lock before your shot, by pressing the shutter button partway, shutter lag was less than 0.1 seconds. Even without pre-focus, shutter lag was still only 0.1-0.2 seconds. Shot to shot times were also good at less than a second and the flash would charge quickly at around 2-3 seconds.

Conclusion

The Casio Exilim Card cameras typically don’t change much from their predecessors and the S880 is just a minor upgrade from the S770. The most significant updates are that the S880 has face detection capability and Casio’s new optimized-for-YouTube movie capture mode. The S880 can take some good pictures, but it struggles a bit indoors, with shaky white balance and an under-powered flash. Camera usability is good, with quick performance, easy to change shooting settings, and excellent battery life. If you’re looking for a reasonably priced, stylish, ultra-thin camera, the Casio Exilim EX-S880 deserves to be considered."
