Great Camera

byalleng Feb 10, 2002
14 Helpfuls 15 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros image quality, size and weight, manual controls, optional wide angle and telephoto lenses
Cons somewhat complicated in manual mode, short flash range, relatively short battery life
Recommended it? Yes

I purchased this camera as a replacement for my trusty 2 year old Coolpix 700 to get the zoom lens and increased resolution from 2 to 3 megapixels. The 885 produces images of excellent realism and detail and is very light and easy to carry. I thought the Coolpix 700 images were great until I saw... Read full review »

Pros Good features - nice design - sharp images
Cons RED color - battery life terrible and adaptor/recharger is extra
Recommended it? No

I read lots of reviews before deciding on the Nikon 885 - mainly due to a seeing a number of good reviews (some even claiming it's the best 3MP digital camera available) plus the excellent Nikon reputation (I own a 35mm Nikon which is great.)

On the plus side is that the camera is very... Read full review »

Pros Small, feature-full, 3.21 megapixel Camera with user friendly layout
Cons battery life, LEMON-PRONE, bad customer service.
Recommended it? No

Four months later: I've been using my replacement 885 camera at least four times a week and been pretty satisfied. This makes me think the first camera was just a lemon. That still doesn't excuse anything, nor does it forgive the poor service I received from Nikon. I still am frustrated with its... Read full review »

Don't touch this lemon!

Pros Sometimes it takes decent pictures
Cons Very red backgrounds indoors, poor customer service
Recommended it? No

I have a Sony Mavica FD83 that I have been very pleased with in terms of decent shots, decent color. However, it is very bulky to take, and it ends up staying at home. In addition, on a vacation, dealing with fifty floppies is daunting to say the least.

So, I wanted a small take anywhere... Read full review »

Recommended it? Yes

I've been looking for a small, versatile digital camera with good picture quality for some time. After having some bad experiences with digital cameras, I was sceptical.

I was in Best Buy looking around and saw the Nikon Coolpix 885. It had everything I wanted. It's compact size was... Read full review »

great basic camera

Pros Compact, easy to navigate menu,
Cons no external flash hook up
Recommended it? Yes

Bought this camera about 8 month ago from on-line store. In my opinion, great basic camera for average user. Like the design,(mine is black), it's 3.2Megapix, which is enough for regular 4x6 or 5x7 prints, I'm printing my pics from places that have big dye-sublimation printers. Have done some 8x10...

I just got back from Hong Kong where I picked up the Coolpix 885 from one of the more trusted dealers on Stanley St. so I can't be sure the international version is the same as the U.S. version. My wife had seen several different digital cameras and decided she wanted one, so I bought this in the... Read full review »
