I am writing this after receiving surprising news about a Nikon repair. We all seem to air our grievences but rarely do I see comments of good service posted here.

Last August I had a Lens Error appear while using my Nikon Coolpix 8800. The camera was also getting very hot after minimal use. I sent my 6 month old camera to Nikon and they repaired it under warranty. Side note...my first 8800 was sent back the same week I received it for smoking and sparking when using the flash.

Earlier this month my camera started having the same problems. I packed it up and sent it to Nikon with a letter describing the repair last year and a copy of the repair documentation.

The good news: I received a letter in the mail yesterday stating Nikon would warranty the repair of last year and I would have no charges for the current repair. I was getting frustrated with Nikon over this camera and I am glad to see they stand behind the work they did last year. My confidence is renewed.

Great to hear they are standing by there work of last year, too often you hear of big companys not caring about their customers enough.
This story would however make me think twice about buying a 8800.
