Nikon Coolpix 8700 Review
The eight megapixel, eight times optical zoom Coolpix 8700
was announced on January 28th, 2004, a year and eight months since the
five megapixel Coolpix 5700 on which it is based. The 8700 enters the
eight megapixel fray which is currently made up of another four digital
cameras; the Canon PowerShot Pro1, Sony DSC-F828, Olympus C-8080 Wide
Zoom and the Konica Minolta DiMAGE A2. The most noteworthy difference
between the 8700 and the rest of the competition is the range of its zoom,
the 8700's starts at 35 mm, the rest have 28 mm wide angle equivalents,
of course this also means that the 8700 has more telephoto reach than
the rest.

The Nikon Z7 is slated as a mirrorless equivalent to the D850, but it can't subject track with the same reliability as its DSLR counterpart. AF performance is otherwise good, except in low light where hunting can lead to missed shots.
Nikon's Coolpix P1000 has moved the zoom needle from 'absurd' to 'ludicrous,' with an equivalent focal length of 24-3000mm. So far, it's a fun camera to shoot with – if a bit over the top.
The Canon EOS R is the first full frame mirrorless camera to use the new RF mount. We're well underway putting it through our range of standard tests – take a look at how it compares to the competition and our thoughts on using it so far.
The GFX 50R is a 50MP rangefinder-style mirrorless camera. It borrows heavily from the existing 50S model but in a smaller body and at a lower price. How does it differ?
The Everyday Sling might just be the perfect pack for not carrying too much gear, combining comfort with Peak Design's signature modern style.
