DCResource Reviews Nikon Coolpix 8700
DCResource have published their full review of the new 8-megapixel Nikon Coolpix 8700 digital camera.
“The Nikon Coolpix 8700 addressed many of the complaints that I had with the 5700. Where the 5700 had a tiny 1.5” LCD, the 8700 has a beautiful 1.8” screen. While the 5700 had no AF-assist lamp and was notorious for poor light focusing, the 8700 is exactly the opposite. There were other things that did not change, namely full support of Nikon’s Speedlites, clunky controls and menus, a cheap plastic door over the CF card slot, and the lack of a manual focus ring. And some things got worse—noise levels are (understandably) higher on the 8700 than they were on the 5700.”
