System Error and Warning! Remove Lens Cap error NIkon coolpix 885
I have had this camera since 2000 and it was my first digital. However during my sons college graduation last year I received the System Error message (which meant no pictures) and after powering down and up again received the Warning! Remove Lens Cap error (lens cap not on). I couldn't use it all that weekend but a week later it worked fine so I thought it was the southern heat. However, it has started with both errors again and I cannot use it for anything. It even says System Error then it is turned off (hmmm). Can't say I would buy another Nikon. I had a Canon for 10 years (old film) and it still working fine.

Fantastic camera...at least for me
I bought this camera in 2001 for $500. That was alot of money but I have gotten my moneys worth and then some with this camera. I love everything about it. I just recently decided to purchase more megapixels for my scrapbooking but thought long and hard about it before doing this. I read reviews and searched for cameras and finally decided to stay with the nikon. I bought a coolpix p4 from Best Buy and got the extended warranty but so far I LOVE this camera also. I am so sorry it got bad reviews. I have a fantastic camera here that I am going to sell and don't even know if I want to do that as I have loved it so much. For me Nikon has been great.

Nikon Coolpix 885 SYSTEM ERROR
I purchased a Coolpix 885 in April 2002. Within a few weeks I encountered a "SYSTEM ERROR" message. I got the camera replaced because it was under new camera warranty. I recently tried to use the custom settings to take pictures in poor light and encountered the "SYSTEM ERROR" message again. I believe there is a problem with using this mode. Based on other reviews and given the lack of positive action to address this issue I could not recommend this camera. I have given it 1 star because I have taken around 950 good pictures using the auto modes only.
