Nikon Coolpix 8700 is really a great unique digital camera, it has an 8.0 effective megapixel, a powerful 8x Optical zoom-Nikkor ED lens giving its user a zoom equivalent of 35-280mm which make any photographer able to get very close to anything without worring about the quality and color of the image. That's not all, the Coolpix 8700's produces image sizes of up to 3,264 x 2,448-pixels in size and you can also take movies with it in 30 fps (frame per second) with audio too.

The Nikon Coolpix 8700 is not Nikon's best digital camera in the 8 megapixel series, there is the Nikon Coolpix 8800 which is a 10x zoom digital camera but its price is $200 higher than the Coolpix 8700 which you can get for $799 and its really worth every dollar :)
