Product Description 2/8/200615-19-32. Nikon From the Manufacturer From the Manufacturer The Coolpix 8800 and its newly developed CCD offer 8.0 effective megapixels for an astoundingly high resolution of 3,264 x 2,448 pixels. Quality like this makes images of exceptionally high definition possible--even when cropped. 10x Zoom-Nikkor ED Lens The 10x zoom gives you the power of a 35-350mm (35mm equivalent) lens, while macro capability lets you get as close as 1.2 inches (3 centimeters) from your subject. This combination is supported by Nikon’s world-renowned optical technology, with two Pro-Quality ED glass elements that delivers crisp, clear images while minimizing chromatic aberration--all of which helps realize the full potential of 8.0 effective megapixels. Lifelike Image Reproduction The Coolpix 8800’s exclusive image processing technology takes true-to-life images a step closer to reality. A 256-segment matrix metering system enables optimal exposures in even the most challenging lighting environments, while Matrix Auto White Balance neutralizes color deviations created by ambient light sources. Both advanced features allow the Coolpix 8800 to preserve a faithful reproduction of color, detail, and gradation. The Coolpix 8800's Vibration Reduction (VR) system. Vibration Reduction (VR) Nikon's VR (Vibration Reduction) technology is an exciting feature that allows sharp photographs to be taken when the camera cannot be held perfectly still. Vibration Reduction offers the ability to shoot at shutter speeds of more than three stops (or eight times) slower, without the risk of camera vibrations blurring your image. Camera shake occurs when the small movements of your hands cause an image to blur when the shutter is released. With Nikon's VR system, angular velocity sensors detect camera movement and then calculate the direction and width of the blurred area. Using this calculation, the VR unit automatically adjusts to the camera vibrations by compensating for image movement on the CCD. VR's steadying effect is easy to see, not only in the images you take, but also on the LCD/viewfinder when shooting. Nikon's VR system offers the ability to shoot at shutter speeds of more than three stops (or eight times) slower, allowing for steady images in low-light settings.Use the active mode for best results when shooting from a moving vehicle. With the 10x zoom providing a 350mm (35mm equivalent) range, image blur will always be a concern when you're not using a tripod. VR cuts down on image blur--even when using high-powered zoom lenses. Image blur is always a concern in low-light shooting situations. VR lets you take steady shots without a speedlight or a tripod. It is also effective for slow sync flash shots. Sometimes you want to capture the flow of movement with a slow-shutter shot. VR makes it happen while keeping the background steady and clear. Use Normal mode to compensate for only non-intended camera movement (camera shake). In this way, you can express motion in the background while keeping the subject in clear focus. VR also works for the camera's movie modes, meaning clear and steady movie shots are easier than ever. VR is effective when attaching the telephoto converter (TC-E17ED) with UR-E17, as well as the wide-angle converter attachment (WM-E80). That means shooting at shutter speeds of more than three stops is guaranteed from 28mm wide-angle to 600mm telephoto (35mm equivalent).The VR system works in multiple settings and modes, enabling shake-free movies, as well as zoom and macro images. Scene Modes, Auto and Manual Setting For the ultimate in creative control, choose between automatic, aperture priority, shutter priority and full manual settings. Or choose one of 15 scene modes to automatically adjust controls for great pictures instantly. With a choice of 15 scene modes, you can quickly select the most appropriate mode for the scene you are capturing. Macro: Allows shooting as close as approximately 1.2 inches from your subject. Movie mode: Capture live action with sound. Clips are saved as a QuickTime movie, which can easily be e-mailed to family and friends. Metering Choose your preferred light metering system. Select Nikon's exclusive 256-segment matrix, center-weighted, spot, or autofocus (AF) spot metering options. (Use matrix metering for general shooting, center-weighted for a central subject, spot for emphasis on a particular area, and AF spot to lock metering and focus on a particular area. The in-camera red-eye fix corrects most typical instances of red-eye during the picture taking process. By the time you're ready for your next shot, the camera has already fixed and saved the image, without the red eyes. Autofocus Contrast-detect TTL-AF, center, auto 5-area multi AF, manual 9-area multi AF selectable. AF Assist Illuminator makes sharp focus possible when the subject is not well lit. Flash A hot shoe lets you connect an additional Nikon speedlight (flash) to the top of the camera. The six-mode built-in flash includes auto, red-eye reduction (by pre-flash), anytime flash, flash cancel, slow sync, and rear-curtain sync. Features one-touch upload for easy image transfer from camera to computer. D-lighting Improve images shot with strong back lighting or in shadow. While in playback, select the D-lighting function, apply it and save the corrected image. D-lighting fixes underexposed and backlit images without harming the properly exposed areas of your image. PictureProject Software Nikon PictureProject is a fast and powerful tool for organizing and working with your pictures easily and intuitively.

Nikon Coolpix 8800 8MP Digital Camera with 10x Vibration Reduction Optical Zoom Lens

• I bought the 8800 as a second camera to use when I didn\'t want to cart the DSLR and it\'s bag of lenses around. After using it for about two weeks, it\'s been returned.On the surface, it seems to have a lot of features, but I\'d have to characterize the 8800 as a \"fair-weather\" camera. In sufficient light (e.g. daylight) it takes great pictures.Let the light get dim, however, or use it at it\'s extended zoom range, or indoors, and it just hunts, trying to find focus. Not being able to use the extended zoom in anything but the best lighting conditions make having one a bit pointless. The EVF is coarse, making it difficult to judge subject focus, and the camera\'s high ISO range (400) isn\'t really usable.For those trying to make the purchase decision, be aware, the camera has some major drawbacks. You\'ll definitely need to determine if it fits your needs and shooting style.
• I\'ve owned 9 or ten point and shut digital cameras including the best so fare the SONY F828 . So I will say this without trying to tare down Nikon\'s reputation.In quality of photos it is very comparable to the best , but my gosh !!! what happened to quiet smooth auto zooming with this Nikon 8800 ? Terribly noisy and very slow.Next problem I had was almost immediate ; The micro-drive fits in very tight and the Flash card latch will not close properly and completely if I want it to use my micro drive with the Nikon 8800.It would also not transfer the photos and froze up my computer on the transfer attempt !!And I do own a very good computer, so it couldn\'t be my computer. And again I can only compare it to Sony F828 I own right now. In all fairness to Nikon ,they made great cameras in the past and they have a lot of other good ones out there today.So in final I would not recommend this one to some body woe wants a precision instrument, and a digital camera of this price range , should be just that !
• The camera was as good as expected for a used camera, I would have hoped to have a lens cover, but it will do until I find one. I have used it and it seems to work well and i am pleased for that. I am overall pleased with the camera.
• My Nikon 8800 has traveled from the Amazon basin to the North Slope of Alaska and has taken over 100,000 photos. It has spent about a month in the hot, humid Amazon basin, a place which claimed the life of one of my past cameras. I\'ve used it so much, I actually wore out one battery pack and had to replace it. Still, three years later the camera is functioning perfectly, just the way it did in the summer of 2004 when I bought it. This camera has been very reliable.The image stabilization is extremely helpful in taking butterfly photos, the project I\'m working on with this camera. I also use it to record interesting birds, so I can look them up in a field guide at home. With the image stabilization, I truely don\'t need to bring binoculars.It is far lighter and easier to transport than SLR type cameras. I find this very helpful.To improve this already excellent camera, I suppose that it would benefit from a bigger LCD monitor, stronger external battery pack, and screws for a cable release.Also, in a perfect world, it would become a bit more light sensative and function better in darker conditions, or allow faster shutter speeds/greater depth of field. Maybe that science fiction type function will become possible some day, but whatever the case, I just love this camera as it is right now. It makes possible butterfly photography at resolutions and distances that were completely impossible just a few years ago.
• This camera was advertised used-very good, and promised a long list of camera accessories. The camera is very used and had NO accessories in an otherwise empty box. I would return it, but for the pandemic.
• I finally found the solution to the problems created by pocket-size cameras I can\'t use because they look the same on the front, back, top and bottom. The Nikon Coolpix brings the feel of a real camera back in my hands. Now, with the Coolpix, I can grab it and know which end to point at my sub just. As a former professional photographer, The Coolpix matches the quality of my medium formate Pentax 645 and is a great backup or replacement in situations where ease of use is a must. It\'s fast and reliable and in most situations is all you;ll need to get any job done in a professional manner. The cost should never be a deterrent when peace of mind is at the highest level with this point and shoot.
