Strength:
Size,comfortable handling. Feels well made like most Nikons.
Weakness:
Very non intuitive controls. Lo range of Fstops. Noisy sensor. Slow to focus, and lots of shutter lag. If you want a point and shoot, get a cheaper more simple one. If you expect to do serious photography, this may do it but there are others that will do it better. It is overpriced for what iit is! The 8700 is a well built camera with good ergonomics and is easy to carry all day without fatigue. I did not find it satisfactory as a substiute for my SLR. It us too limited in F stops and has a nrather noisy sensor. A bad combination. Customer Service Adequate. If you need repair as I did, it's expensive and not particulary fast. They did repair the camera to my satisfaction. Similar Products Used: Olympus c2500, Nikon D100, Nikon D80. Several inexpensive no name digitals. |
