Nikon Coolpix 885 Digital Camera Review

Nikon Coolpix 885 3MP Digital Camera w/ 3x Optical Zoom

The Nikon COOLPIX 885 is a compact, lightweight (225g/7.9 oz) 3-megapixel digital still camera, it was developed as a successor to the highly acclaimed COOLPIX 880 . It is a mid-range model in the COOLPIX series featuring Nikon's newly developed 3x Zoom-Nikkor lens (equivalent to 38-114mm in 35mm format). The 3.21-megapixel imager delivers ultrahigh-definition images up to 2,048 x 1,536-pixels. The Programmed AUTO and 12 Scene Mode settings will enable users to capture the essence of every picture in all sorts of lighting environments. One-button data transfer simplifies image data uploading. The new Small Picture function produces reduced-size pictures for e-mail and use on the internet.

The COOLPIX 885, available in metallic silver and charcoal black, comes with essential accessories including a disposable 2CR5 lithium battery (the EN-EL1 rechargeable battery and charger are an option in the U.S.), 16MB CompactFlash Card, USB cable and software. With a lens adaptor, it can accept various Nikkor converter lenses, such as Wideangle, Telephoto and Fisheye. An optional LCD hood increases LCD monitor visibility when shooting in daylight. With so many features and accessories, and a remarkably easy-to-use design the COOLPIX 885 promises to win over countless new users to the increasingly exciting field of digital photography.
