Click on the Coolpix 8800 to take a QuickTime VR tour
The flagship of Nikon's Coolpix series, the Coolpix 8800 offers the longest zoom range available in the 8-
megapixel category, and is the first 8-megapixel 10X zoom digital camera with Vibration Reduction (VR). VR
automatically detects and compensates for the small camera movements that cause image blur. This offers
the user the ability to shoot at shutter speeds up to three stops slower without the risk of camera
vibrations blurring the image. It features an 8.0 megapixel effective CCD (3,264 x 2,448-pixels) and a 10x
Optical (35-350mm) Nikkor lens, with Nikon's Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass elements. It has a high
resolution (235,000 pixel) electronic viewfinder (EVF) for through-the-lens viewing and a 1.8" vari-angle
color LCD monitor.
This is one of the first Coolpix cameras with full i-TTL flash capability (when used with external SB-600
and SB-800 Speedlights), which gives the user complete control over the flash unit’s zoom head.
Additionally, combining a number of high-end Nikon technologies, a feature called Auto Color Enhancement
accurately records, assesses and fine-tunes the colors within images to achieve more vivid results.
Not only is it stylish and compact (for an 8-megapixel 10x zoom camera), but it is also constructed with a
lightweight magnesium alloy body that has been designed for durability and portability.
For added convenience, the Coolpix 8800 now incorporates 15 pre-programmed Scene modes, many of
which can be found on recent Coolpix digital cameras. These Scene modes allow users to capture striking
images in practically any shooting situation. Simply select the mode appropriate to the lighting
conditions, and the camera will automatically adjust focus, flash, contrast, sensitivity and white balance.
It's powered by the new EN-EL7 Lithium Ion rechargeable battery, which adds incredible power and freedom to
both the cameras and users alike. With the new EN-EL7, users will be able to shoot up to 240 frames on a
single charge. It also features the newly adopted JPEG EXTRA file format, which offers higher image quality
with less compression (compression rate: 1/2) in addition to their Basic, Normal, Fine, TIFF and NEF/RAW
settings.
The Coolpix 8800's software package includes PictureProject, ArcSoft including VideoImpression to edit and
share QuickTime movies taken with the camera and Panorama Maker, which takes advantage of the camera's
Panorama Assist Mode and seamlessly stitches together multiple horizontal or vertical images to create
beautiful panoramic photos.

DIWA Gold Medal Award
9. March 2005 - Digital Imaging Websites Association (DIWA), an international organisation
of websites focusing on digital imaging, today announced that the Nikon COOLPIX 8800 has
won a DIWA GOLD Award for its excellent performance. Last year, its predecessor - COOLPIX
8700 - received a DIWA Silver Award; today the Nikon COOLPIX 8800 is the proof of
improvements and added features, and therefore a true DIWA Gold Award winner.
The advanced Megazoom Nikon COOLPIX 8800 has passed the rigorous DIWA tests with excellent
results, with average scores well above the limit for overall excellence. The new Nikon
COOLPIX 8800 is the flagship in the Coolpix range of high-performance digital cameras. 8
Megapixel image resolution and a high quality 10x Zoom-Nikkor lens are supported by an
outstanding Vibration Reduction system to compensate for camera shake. Several reviews,
based on the comprehensive DIWA testing procedure, confirmed that the Nikon COOLPIX 8800
is a considerable upgrade from its predecessor, the COOLPIX 8700, enough to climb to the
highest level of DIWA quality ranking.
The Nikon COOLPIX 8800 delivers the performance it is built for; effortless capturing high
quality professional images, at high speed if necessary, thanks to its five image buffer
memory. The new D-Lighting exposure system proved its excellence in practical use and the
newly added JPEG EXTRA mode preserves the camera’s high image quality thanks to reduced
compression rate. The overall averaged score concludes that the Nikon COOLPIX 8800 is a
compact package filled with professional performance at an affordable price.
