As its predecessor, the Nikon Coolpix 8700 digital camera has an 8x optical zoom lens, providing a zoom range equivalent to a 35-280mm lens on a 35mm camera. A 1.8 inch swivel-design LCD monitor and an EVF (Electronic ViewFinder) with its great frame coverage are available for framing your shot. The Coolpix 8700 comes with an auto pop-up Speedlight, and also features an accessory shoe. You can also attach an external Speedlight as the camera comes with an external flash hot shoe.

The Coolpix 8700 camera is an easy to use camera as it operates largely under automatic control. For those who want greater control over the camera, the 8700 also offers manual controls.
