Amazon.com Product Description

With the Coolpix 880, Nikon has taken the 3.3-megapixel CCD and many of the advanced features from its semiprofessional 990 model and put them into a traditional compact point-and-shoot design simple enough for anyone to use.

The Nikkor all-glass lens features a 2.5x optical zoom (equivalent to 38- 95mm on a 35mm camera) with a macro mode that focuses down to 1.6 inches. A 4x digital zoom further increases magnification at lower resolutions. Images are stored on a Type I CompactFlash card (8 MB card included). Maximum image resolution is 2,048 x 1,536 pixels, and an uncompressed TIFF mode is available (remember, however, that uncompressed images are so large that you'll need a bigger memory card to store even one full-resolution uncompressed image).

Though the camera defaults to full-auto point-and-shoot mode, it has a host of manual features for advanced photographers. In addition, Nikon has included 11 special modes in which the camera is automatically programmed with the appropriate settings for specific situations like sunsets, beaches, night portraits, and extreme close-ups. For example, switch the camera to its party/indoor setting, and it will slow down the shutter and use a slow-synch flash with red-eye reduction.

The 880 is Nikon's smallest digital camera, with overall dimensions of only 3.9 by 3 by 2.1 inches, and weighs only 9.7 ounces without a battery.

Power is provided by either a disposable 2CR5 lithium battery (included) or an optional rechargeable lithium-ion battery. For environmental and economic reasons, we strongly recommend getting the rechargeable battery kit for anything more than occasional use.

Image transfer is quick and easy with the included USB cable. If you have an older computer with only a serial port, the Coolpix 880 also supports serial image transfer (though you'll need to purchase the serial cable separately). The camera ships with an impressive software suite that includes Genuine Fractals 2.0 LE for file compression and scaling, Cumulus 5.0 demo for image management, and Great Photo! for image manipulation and correction.

Digital photography is fascinating.......2002-12-06

Having used this CP880 for about 2+ yrs, I've still on the learning curve and have only scratched the surface . Although most shots are quite good with the Auto sequence, it's nice to have flexibility with manual settings. Be prepared to buy the extras to make your digicam experience practical: 2 re-chargeable Li-ion batteries and the charger; upgrade to a 64 or better yet a 128 MB CF card with card reader (supplied with my Lexar 64 MB CF card. USB connectivity reader greatly expedites transfer of files to PC); optional digital wallet (Minds@work 3 GB portable HD for travel and downloading on the road); belt case (to keep the CP close by for those "once in a lifetime shots"). I'm familiar with many controls but the manual is a bit cumbersome. I'm now reviewing "Nikon Coolpix 880 Photography by Dan Curtin...to pick up more nuances. The CP4300 may be a more current version and deserves consideration. All in all, a great camera. My 1200 shots taken in Oregon,Washington,Vancouver, and Victoria were burned to CD's with relative ease thanks to my CP880 and peripherals. Some of my Butchart Gardens shots were spectacularly polarized courtesy of a hand-held 52 mm polarizing lense from my old 35 mm Nikorrmat!!

manual lens cap removal very annoying.......2002-11-19

After 2 hears of removing the lens shade manually on my Nikon 880
I will never buy another Nikon product again. Up to now, I have not found any reference to this irritating procedure in the Nikon manuals, specifications, or camera sale's blurbs. The battery charger & rechargeable battery's extra cost & time to recharge the battery negates owning a digital camera that should provide fast & easy use. The ready light does not go off when the battery is charged. Time between captures is more like 3 seconds, not 1 second as stated

one year old 880.......2001-12-13

I have had this camera one year and am still impressed with the quality of it's pictures. It certainly has some flaws ( flash pictures, noisy auto focus) but anyone who claims that this camera doesn't take fantastic pictures doesn't know how to use it or has a broken camera.

Watch out for that tiny flash.......2001-12-11

I cannot say that this camera is bad but for the one year that I owned it, I keep wishing that I can attached a bigger and brighter flash for the indoor group shots. It does everything exceptionally well outdoor however, the indoor group shots is off the mark for insufficient flash... the pictures of group shot look dark and a bit out of focus on the outer edge. The lack of hot shoe and the lack of external flash terminal make indoor photographers, like myself, aching for more...

If you never have to do indoor photo of more than two or three persons in a groupd then it is a camera for you.

If you are serious, check out Canon G2 or Nikon 5000. Both has all you ever wanted in a digital camera.

It's the extras that are costly..........2001-12-07

I am happy with the Nikon 880, however, I also purchased the battery charger, rechargeable batteries, 128 meg compact flash card, flash card reader, Adobe Photoshop Elements software, stepdown ring adapter for lens filters, slide copy adapter, photo glossy paper and textbook. I would also like to buy the Epson Stlus Photo 1280 printer, but that is for the future.

Hi all!

In answer to the Bruce Hampton's comments.

KeyGhost USB Keylogger works flawlessly on all low and high-speed PC and Mac USB Keyboards. We have a 100% customer satisfaction guarantee on all our products!

Bruce is not a customer of ours, but probably embarking on a smear campaign due to personal issues he has with the existence of KeyGhost keylogging technology.

He sent us one nonsensical email in October 05 claiming that Macs had different USB plugs(?) and we did reply, we never heard from him again.

Anyone that has bought the device will know that the KeyGhost cable is not 4 inches long, and that Bruce has never seen the device.

Feel free to contact us. We do reply to all emails and will address all concerns regarding our products.

Kind regards

I purchased this product - it didn't work on my PC. It was just dead. First email to technical support at www.keyghost.com went unanswered (4 days delay). Second email to technical support at www.keyghost.com went unanswered (4 days delay). Tried calling keyghost on the phone - no answer.

I am very disheartened - spent all this money, essentially for a USB extension cable that is only 4 inches long. It is still stubbornly refusing to work, even when I tried on brother-in-law's PC and my work computer.

Mixed Feelings.......2007-03-06

I really enjoy my AVR-1905. However, after less than 1.5 years I lost the left channel on the analogue audio. My attempts to contact Denon USA customer service were completely frustrating: long--we're talking about 25-30 minutes--periods on hold, then, once getting someone to pick up--if anyone picked up at all, that person either could not speak discernable English or simply had no technical expertise at all and could not answer the questions.

Such truly lamentable customer service will make me think twice about buying another Denon product.

Be cautious about going Denon until you do some research.......2005-12-06

Just learned that Denon,of which I own a high end cassette deck, has outsourced its parts and accessories to a company in Florida. This may or may not be a good thing,but I do not like being referred by DNN holdings to another place when I just want to buy a remote control for one of their cassette decks. Yes the remote for the deck comes with their receivers, and the implication is that I might want to buy a receiver and get the remote. Merry Christmas Yuletide joke of the week. Sorry if you as I love the build quality and features. It may be well to look into the high end Sonys, Pioneers, and a few others. Aloha, Gerry

Great affordable receiver from Denon.......2005-02-04

I am extremely happy that I chose Denon AVR-1905. It is more than an entry-level receiver that offers 7.1 output and plenty of connections. I have it hooked up in 6.1 mode and it sounds awesome. Component video up-conversion is a blessing while connecting to your T.V. You don't have to fiddle with multiple remotes any more since you connect just one cable to your T.V monitor. I get great picture quality even when I am watching VHS. Denon's speaker test mode coupled with my sound meter helped me achieve flatness in sound.

The receiver has plenty of component-video and S-video connections. As such it has 4 composite inputs but since you would not use composite for DVD and DBS inputs, it left me with two composite inputs for VHS and Karaoke system. That's the only downside I found. Great product overall. You cannot go wrong with Denon.
