The Coolpix 8700 Nikon joins the 8 megapixel club

byHoward_Creech May 2, 2004
133 Helpfuls 134 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros 8X Nikkor Zoom, 8 megapixel resolution
Cons Cons: Noisy images at ISO 400, AF hunts in low light, weak battery
Recommended it? Yes

Over the last couple of years Nikon has been losing market share to other manufacturers, but that negative sales trend may be due to change. Nikon's R&D folks have introduced two very exciting new digital cameras (the Coolpix 8700 and the D70 digital SLR) that are likely to put Nikon firmly back in... Read full review »

Good Mid Level Digital Camera

Pros Stylish, good quality photos, large memory capacity.
Cons big and clunky, gets an error message a lot
Recommended it? Yes

FUJIFILM FinePix S1500 Digital Camera: mkp51?s new digital ?camera for the ages!?

bymkp51 Apr 4, 2010

Pros Great price, easy to use; takes outstanding digital images; many advanced features.
Cons Limited ability in subdued lighting with no flash.
Recommended it? Yes

I've been interested in photography for about 30 years now, and would rate myself as an "enthusiastic, learning amateur."  I've got a collection of decent photographs, mostly taken with my trusty "camera for the ages," a currently inoperative 35mm film camera. (My venerable and beloved 29-year... Read full review »

Cons Not "user friendly",  not great for motion shots.
Recommended it? Yes

So here's the deal. I'm no professional photographer. Really, my knowledge of cameras beyond "point and click" is pretty much non-existent. So when I read reviews about this camera being simple to use, and taking almost professional looking pictures I was pretty psyched. However, I wouldn't exactly... Read full review »
