The Coolpix 8700 Nikon joins the 8 megapixel club

byHoward_Creech May 2, 2004

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.

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

Let me state right away that I am not a camera professional or claim to be a techno guru. Far from it, I am a new mom who wanted to take loads of photos and share with family on the web. I know what I want out of a camera and that's about it. If you are looking for a technical expert and pixel size... Read full review »

Pros Shockproof, waterproof, compact, takes good-quality pictures.
Cons Shutter delay (as you would expect).
Recommended it? Yes

We wanted to buy our son a camera for his eleventh birthday, and even though he is pretty responsible, he does have two little sisters, so we knew that we had to buy something that he wouldn't be anxious about sharing. We looked at the "kids" cameras, but they weren't cheap, and the reviews said... Read full review »
