Nikon began as Nippon Kogaku in 1917. That was when three of Japan’s leading producers of optical equipment joined forces to expand their line of optical goods. In 1946, the company manufactured its first camera, using the brand name Nikon. Soon Nikon became synonymous with quality, Today, Nikon produces several types of products, but is best known for its cameras—including the Nikon Coolpix 8800 digital camera.
The essence of what makes the Coolpix 8800 “cool” is the precision and crispness of it images. It is armed with an innovative charge-coupled device (CCD) that uses 8.0 effective megapixels to create images with an amazingly ultra-high resolution of (3,264 x 2,448) pixels. Even after photos have been cropped, extremely high definition is still feasible!
In addition, the 8800’s special image processing technology creates more lifelike shots. The Matrix Auto White Balance counterbalances color variations that surrounding sources of light create. Also, the 256-segement matrix metering system allows for premium exposures in any lighting environment. These two sophisticated features allow slight variances, color, and details to be consistently duplicated with each shot.
The D-lighting function also improves images that are taken in shadow or with intense back lighting. Without harming the areas in the image that are exposed correctly, D-lighting repairs backlit and underexposed photos.
However, when lighting is insufficient, attach the Nikon speedlight flash to the camera’s top. ?this flash includes several modes.
The Coolpix 8800 digital camera furthermore has the tools to create quality shots from various distances. For faraway shots, use the 10x zoom, which has the equivalent power of a 35mm lens. You can also use the camera’s macro feature to shoot subjects up to 1.2 inches (3 centimeters) away!
When it is impossible to hold your camera completely still, the Nikon Coolpix 8800 digital camera uses its Vibration Reduction (VR) technology to prevent fuzzy pictures. Camera shake happens when your hands move slightly, creating a blurry shot after the releasing of the shutter. VR technology lets you take shots at speeds that are eight times slower, without sacrificing the images’ sharpness. This feature is particularly important when using a tripod, using the wide-angle converter attachment or telephoto converter, creating videos, creating slow-shutter shots, shooting from a vehicle in motion, and when surrounded by low light levels.
Besides controlling the camera’s movement, the Coolpix 8800 also lets you control its operation. To automatically change the camera’s controls, select from 15 scene modes (i.e. the movie mode lets you record video with sound). For more control, select the aperture priority, full manual, automatic, or shutter priority settings.
Further options are included in the preferred light metering system of the Nikon Coolpix 880 digital camera. The options include various metering options and red-eye reduction
After taking your shots, one lets you easily upload your favorite images to a PC, from the Coolpix 880. Use the Nikon PictureProject software to:
• create panoramas, photo albums, and slideshows
• crop
• edit
• e-mail
• enhance
• post on the Internet
• print
• remove red-eye
If taking quality photos is your objective, then consider the Nikon Coolpix 8800 digital camera. It easily creates crisp and clear pictures for your computer, photo album, or wall.
