Abstract: Coming back to the Coolpix 8700 I see a digital camera with an excellent color reproduction at which the white balance functions far above average: extremely well! The exposure likewise. The automatic exposure hardly gets it wrong, hardly any failures ...
Abstract: <b>Spec:</b> Digital camera, 8,000,000 pixels, LCD display - TFT active matrix - 1.8 in - Color<br> <b>Good:</b> Excellent, highly detailed images; impressive 8X ED-Nikkor zoom lens; sturdy magnesium-alloy body; RAW-file capture.<br> <b>Bad:</b> Easy to accidentally activate some controls; long RAW shot-to-shot time; slow low-light AF; no live histogram in manual mode; 30-second limit on video clips; full RAW-file editing software costs $99 extra.<br> <b>Bottomline:</b> It shoots good photos, but mediocre performance and a serious design flaw may keep this 8-megapixel camera out of the hands of enthusiasts.<br>

Abstract: Nikons 8Mp Coolpix 8700 combines high resolutions, long lenses and stacks of features. It is capable of delivering the same 3264x2448-pixel images as its 8Mp peers - around 25 per cent more than a 5Mp camera offers, and enough detail to make good-look...
Abstract: Like nearly all the megazoom digital cameras weve reviewed, the Coolpix 8700 sports a chunky faux-SLR design. Nikon doesnt make this look work any better than anyone else does. But the camera is surprisingly compact, and it weighs 540g with battery a...
