As a one time semi-pro photographer, I wanted to get into digital photography from a "real" standpoint. While there are many good camera brands, you just don't go wrong with Nikon. I wanted a camera that looked and felt like a real camera. This is not our first digital camera, I gave my girlfriend a nice Fuji Finepix for Christmas. For an accomplished long time 35mm guy it was strange looking at an LCD Screen to set up your shot. On the Nikon, push a button and the LCD information shows in the eyepiece viewfinder with a diopter adjustment like a true 35mm SLR.
The LCD screen rotates and swivels so you can take shots and see them from armslength distance. Picture holding the camera above your head to get a shot and rotating the LCD so you can see and set up the shot. I wanted to be able to manually take photographs and still take "point and shoot pix". I am still reading the owners manual and learning many of the fine points of operation. So far I really like this camera, within 5 minutes out of the box, I was taking pictures, and the nice thing about digital is you don't have to keep the bad shots. I am confident that this is goinng to be a great camera for my needsGet more detail about Nikon Coolpix 8700 8MP Digital Camera with 8x Optical Zoom.
