Both are excellent.... I like my SD880

i bought the sx730 and the 5 axis IS is really good even at 960mm handheld.

In the beginning i thought nice camera, especially at 960 mm, but after a while, i wasn't happy anymore. 1 serie at the beach was very good, the max zoomed in photo's far away filled the whole frame instead of filling the frame for 10% like my older cam.

But many other series i took aren't that good, they look more like a photo from a mobile phone, really soft images without details, my rx100 mk1 are much better but it has no good zoom (100mm).

in a zoo most of the photos were not good, a bit unsharp, could not focus on the target etc.

if i could bring it back i could.

So maybe the XV90 was a better deal but is was almost twice the price.
