General Comments

I've had my 880 for about a year, and on the whole it has performed superbly. I bought it for 'serious' photography, rather than taking snaps, and haven't been disappointed.

With the addition of a 2x tele converter, nice, close cropped portrait shots can be achieved.

As one of the other reviewers mentioned, a tripod is definitely required, especially if you tend not to use the flash.

I've ordered the 0.66 wide angle lens, and can't wait to get some shots.

My only real gripe would be the aperture control in manual; if Nikon released a firmware patch that unlocked this, I would be a very happy man.
