8800 Coolpix Nikon Digital Camera
Sep. '04: The new flagship for the Nikon COOLPIX line comes equipped with 8-megapixel resolution, a high-powered 10x Zoom-Nikkor ED lens and Nikon’s extraordinary VR System, says Nikon.
Nikon announces these major features of this 8800 Coolpix:
- Astonishing image quality.
The COOLPIX 8800 carries a 2/3-inch-type CCD that realizes 8.0 effective megapixels. This makes images of exceptionally high definition possible - even when cropped. The camera’s 10x optical Zoom-Nikkor lens (f/2.8-5.2) offers a focal range of 8.9-89mm (35mm [135] format equivalent to 35-350mm). The lens incorporates two ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements that minimize chromatic aberration to give you sharp, clear images every time.
- Steady images with VR.
The COOLPIX 8800’s lens incorporates the Vibration Reduction (VR) System for the first time in the COOLPIX line. It automatically detects and compensates for the small camera movements that cause image blur. The effect is like shooting at shutter speeds three stops faster;
for example, if you can shoot clearly without camera-shake at 1/250s, VR makes it possible to stop down three steps (in this case, to 1/30s) and still shoot without camera-shake.
In addition to clear handheld shots with Normal mode, Active mode provides an even smoother view for shaky conditions such as shooting from a moving vehicle. You can even use VR with optional COOLPIX accessory lenses.
- Professional creative control.
Nikon’s exclusive image processing technology provides natural color reproduction, detail and gradation. Its 256-segment Matrix Metering system ensures ideal exposures in even the most challenging lighting conditions. For even more control, the COOLPIX 8800 also offers Center-Weighted, Spot, and Spot-AF metering. Furthermore, the COOLPIX 8800 offers various exposure controls: Programmed Auto [P], Shutter-Priority Auto [S], Aperture-Priority Auto [A], and Manual [M], as well as Exposure Compensation for an exceptional degree of exposure control. Expand your photographic possibilities with optional lens converters, Speedlights and other system accessories unique to the Nikon COOLPIX line.
- Sophisticated, ergonomic design.
This 8800 Coolpix Nikon digital camera comes in a compact, lightweight, easy-to-handle magnesium alloy body. It is designed to give photographers smooth, intuitive handling. The COOLPIX 8800 offers a 1.8-inch-type Vari-angle LCD monitor that provides high visibility and makes it possible to shoot from almost any angle. The Electronic Viewfinder (EVF) provides high resolution for greater contrast and clearer image display. The camera’s ergonomic design and style come from famed industrial designer Giorgetto GIUGIARO* - exclusively for a new generation of Nikon cameras.
