Panasonic and Canon approach a their camera processing in two different ways. Panasonic will deal anticipated noise more aggressively while the Canon deals with noise less aggressively. What this means for the photographs is that Panasonic will lose more fine detail and look smeared in low contrast areas. Canon will retain higher fine details and simply have low detail (dark areas) in the lower light areas.
You'll need to decide which is most important to you. Many prefer to have the better fine details left in, and as the ISO goes us the aggressive noise reduction get even more aggressive with Panasonic. You'll want t stay at the lowest possible ISO on the Panasonic while the Canon 880 can easily shoot at ISO 400 without any significant lose of detail or large amounts of graininess.
About the only other difference is in the shot to shot timings. Panasonic will lock up for a few seconds after each shot while it writes to the memory card. Canon writes in the background leaving the camera working for much quicker followup shots.
Again, if you don't anticipate quick followup shots, the Panasonic will do fine. It also has a wide wide angle than the 880. But if you want to shoot in lower light, and with faster followup shots, then the Canon 880 will be a better choice.
