Just take it out of the box, charge the battery, and shoot pictures to your heart's content -- in almost any environment. The only difficulty I had was at a night-time baseball game shooting pictures without a lens hood under high-intensity lights.

QuickTake:

Pros: Friendly automation, variety of controls, great clarity
Cons: Difficult to access custom options or settings.

A great all-round quality snapper, just don't expect to squeeze it in your pocket!

Review Verdict: Unbeatable for outright versatility, but no way will it fit in your pocket, and it can be a bit slow to use.

Product Rating: 3 star(s) REVIEW - NIKON COOLPIX 8800

Comments:
The Nikon Coolpix 8800 is the latest incarnation of the all-in-one pseudo digital SLR that began with the Coolpix 5700 in 2002. That camera caused a sensation at the time with its attractive design and appealing concept -- one fixed long range zoom attach

Review Verdict: The Nikon Coolpix 8800 is pitched against the lower priced digital SLRs. It has obvious appeal to those who have an aversion to the apparent (more than real) complexity and bulk (real enough) of Nikon's own outstanding D70 SLR. The D70 is $100 cheaper tha

Review Verdict: This dampens the 8800's appeal somewhat. It'll be good for long-range wildlife shots, but action photography isn't its forte. Indeed, the camera's responses overall are on the leisurely side. A three-second start-up time, average AF speeds and unhurried z

Review Verdict: The Nikon Coolpix 8800 superzoom is actually an enthusiast camera. If you need (and are willing to pay for) sharper images than the other more consumer-oriented superzooms can deliver, this is the camera for you. But be warned, it's no speed demon.
