Nikon has today announced the eight megapixel ten times optical zoom Coolpix 8800. It becomes the first eight megapixel digital camera to feature a ten times optical zoom lens and also becomes the first consumer digital camera from Nikon to have Vibration Reduction, the stabilization system seen on some of Nikon's SLR lenses. Other features include a 1.8" flip-out and twist LCD monitor, higher capacity battery and USB 2.0. Internally it appears to be almost identical to the wide angle zoom Coolpix 8400 also announced today. We have had a pre-production camera for a few days and have produced a detailed preview, see inside. The 8800 will have an MSRP of $999 (£699) and will be available in the Fall.
