The Coolpix 8700 ($999) is the 8 Megapixel version of Nikon's very popular Coolpix 5700. Nikon didn't just drop in a larger CCD, though. There's also a larger LCD, AF-assist lamp, VGA movie mode, and support for PictBridge. And don't forget the carryover features from the 5700: an 8X zoom lens, hot shoe, swiveling LCD, and tons of manual controls.
