Nikon never fixed the red oversaturation issue in these cameras. Red sticks out like a sore thumb and makes the images unrealistic.
I had mine develop some hot pixels under warranty and returned it to Nikon for repair (replacement of the imager). It came back with even more hot pixels than I sent it to them with.
If you want a digital camera and someone is giving one of these away, that's a good deal. As the other reviewers note - see if you can find sample images online that show how bad the red issue is.
And lastly, concerning Nikon as a whole, they may make good cameras now but I'm gun shy after they fixed my camera to be worse than I sent it to them.
I'm looking for a new camera now and have lived with retouching any photos taken in less than bright sunlight (where hot pixels really show up) and also having to manually color balance any images with red in them. Actually, all images come out slightly "off" because red is so enhanced in this camera.
Needless to say, I am not buying Nikon.Get more detail about Nikon Coolpix 885 3MP Digital Camera w/ 3x Optical Zoom.
