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...

This camera is great for what I have been doing with my photography. It's compact and light for going hiking and exploring the wilderness.

I enjoy using this camera, sometimes I wish the resolution was higher, but for the most part it is adequate. I use a 256 MB card for over 150 photos at Fine Resolution (2048 X 1536). Wish it had more optical zoom, something you don't realize until your out in the boondocks and that swan is on the other side of the lake.

This camera takes great pictures. However, the lag time is horrible.

Older generation digital. The autofocus was slow and problematic and eventually died on me after a couple of years. David

I love this camera. It does what I ask it to do. With a variety of lenses, I can get almost every shot I want. It's the subject matter that "moves" that causes me problems.

It's a good camera for a beginner, but when the battery is low sometimes the lens will stay out and not go back in until the battery is replaced.

Not fast enough and the batteries are just rediculous...13 dollars for about 20 minutes of shooting...Dont have a rechargeable one yet..Hope it last a little longer..optical zoom is ok but digital zoom sucks I think...Not easy to find accesories for...

A great little point & shoot digital that takes great images. Loaded with features - the pre-set scene modes was the primary reason I bought this camera. Battery life is a bit disappointing but bearable.
