Steves Digicams’ Nikon Coolpix 8700 First Look
It was only announced by Nikon a couple of days ago, but Steves Digicams have already published their first look at the new 8-megapixel Nikon Coolpix 8700 digital camera.
“The Nikon Coolpix 8700 is for serious photographers who demand the highest level of quality and control from their compact digital camera. It features an 8.0 effective megapixel CCD (3,264 x 2,448-pixels) and an 8x Optical (35-280 mm) Zoom-Nikkor lens, with Nikon’s Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass elements. It has a high resolution (238,000 pixel) electronic viewfinder (EVF) for through-the-lens viewing and a 1.8” vari-angle color LCD monitor. The Coolpix 8700 is constructed with a compact, lightweight magnesium alloy body that has been designed for durability and portability.”

This new Nikon looks sweet! I've been meaning to upgrade my aging Coolpix 950 for ages now. The 8700 looks seriously tempting. Now I just have to wait and see how much it'll cost!

Ah... Answered my own question. Looks like it'll be around £780 in the UK.
