8-megapixel resolution

8x Zoom-Nikkor lens

Lifelike image reproduction

The COOLPIX 8700 and its
newly developed CCD offer
8.0 effective megapixels
for an astounding high
resolution of 3,264 x 2,448
pixels. Quality like this makes images of
exceptionally high definition possible —
even when cropped.

The 8x zoom gives you the
power of a 35-280mm
(35mm [135] equiv.) lens,
while Macro capability lets
you get as close as 1.2 in.
(3cm). This combination is
supported by Nikon’s
world-renowned optical technology, with two
ED glass elements delivering crisp, clear
images while minmizing chromatic abberation
— all of which helps realize the full potential
of 8.0 effective megapixels

The COOLPIX 8700’s exclusive image
processing technology takes true-to-life images
a step closer to reality. A 256-segment
Matrix Metering system enables optimal
exposures in even the most challenging
lighting environments, while Matrix Auto
White Balance neutralizes color deviations
created by ambient light sources. Both
advanced features allow the COOLPIX 8700
to preserve a faithful reproduction of color,
detail and gradation.
