2004: Nikon has today announced the eight megapixel, eight times optical
zoom Coolpix 8700. Looking very similar to the Coolpix 5700 the 8700 appears
to share an almost identical body (although the LCD monitor is larger)
and lens system (35 - 280 mm equiv, F2.8 - F4.2). The Coolpix 8700 has
a magnesium alloy body, a Compact Flash Type I/II media slot, is powered
by a rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery and can shoot continuously at 2.5
frames per second for up to five frames. This camera becomes only the
second eight megapixel prosumer level digital camera announced to date
(Sony's DSC-F828 being the first).
