Hot Deal: Nikon Coolpix 8800 8MP Digital Camera With 10x Vibration Reduction Optical Zoom Lens

The Coolpix 8800 and its newly developed CCD offer 8.0 effective megapixels for an astoundingly high resolution of 3,264 x 2,448 pixels. Quality like this makes images of exceptionally high definition possible even when cropped.



The 10x zoom gives you the power of a 35-350mm (35mm equivalent) lens, while macro capability lets you get as close as 1.2 inches (3 centimeters) from your subject. This combination is supported by Nikon’s world-renowned optical technology, with two Pro-Quality ED glass elements that delivers crisp, clear images while minimizing chromatic aberration--all of which helps realize the full potential of 8.0 effective megapixels.

The Coolpix 8800’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 8800 to preserve a faithful reproduction of color, detail, and gradation.

Nikon's VR (Vibration Reduction) technology is an exciting feature that allows sharp photographs to be taken when the camera cannot be held perfectly still. Vibration Reduction offers the ability to shoot at shutter speeds of more than three stops (or eight times) slower, without the risk of camera vibrations blurring your image. Camera shake occurs when the small movements of your hands cause an image to blur when the shutter is released. With Nikon's VR system, angular velocity sensors detect camera movement and then calculate the direction and width of the blurred area. Using this calculation, the VR unit automatically adjusts to the camera vibrations by compensating for image movement on the CCD. VR's steadying effect is easy to see, not only in the images you take, but also on the LCD/viewfinder when shooting.
