The 5700 sports a ton of features similar to a digital SLR, but at a fraction of the size and weight. The camera makes some significant improvements over the 5400, and is the first Nikon camera to use an electronic viewfinder.
There is a special rebate offer going around right now where you can get $150 off the price of this camera. This offer is available at several online retailers, and you can find out more about the Nikon 5700 Rebate at Amazon. |

| The 8400 is one of Nikon's entries into the 8 megapixel digital camera market. Sporting a wide-angle lens, this camera is best suited for landscape photography and indoor shooting where you don't have a lot of room to move back. With only a 3.5x zoom, the bird and wildlife photographer will want to look for a camera with a lot more zoom. |

| The 8700 is another 8 megapixel camera, and this one sports an 8x zoom. If you are looking to take a lot of action photography, this may not be a good camera for you. The C|NET review indicates that the 8700 has a long delay between shots, which means that the camera could be processing the last photo when you are ready to take the next shot. |

| This camera is getting close to the price of a digital SLR — if you're used to using a standard SLR camera, consider that option instead. If you like the idea of an all-in-one camera (without a lot of extra lenses and gear) then this has just about everything: manual mode, 10x zoom, and image stabilization. Image stabilization helps you take photos in low-light conditions without blur. Even under normal conditions, it reduces camera shake which helps you take sharper photographs. For more information on reducing camera shake, read about tripods. |
