Nikon Digicam Owners, READ THIS

http://maccentral.macworld.com/news/0208/13.nikon.php

some models are being recalled do to excessive heat.

Quote:
Following Nikon UK's recall of certain Coolpix 2000 digital cameras, Nikon USA has also recalled models of the same camera.

A note posted to Nikon USA's Web site home page indicates that certain models of Coolpix 2000 cameras can potentially "experience a circuit problem in the battery compartment that could cause excessive heat which could be dangerous."

Nikon noted that the cameras must be replaced to prevent the possible risk.

Nikon said that affected cameras contain serial numbers in the following range:

Between 3010001 and 3060980
Between 3510001 and 3561916

Users with camera serial numbers that are in this range are encouraged to either call Nikon Customer Service at 800.645.6687 or e-mail cr.nikon@attglobal.net with "Coolpix 2000 Return" in the subject line. Specific details and more information are available from the Web site.

I also have the Nikon 775, but I have notice if I take several pics at a time it becomes rather hot. Then on the screen it comes up saying the card is full. I have 128mg card so after about 15 pics (one after the other) I do not feel it should shut-down.

Do you have this problem with yours?

I think I will email them and see what the deal is!

Well that'll teach her for giving her camera cigarettes.

Seriously, though, that sucks. I have a Coolpix 995 and I love it. So far it has been problem free, and hopefully will not start spewing out smoke on me.

The S200 can get really really searing warm at times, too. No smoke, though.
