Nikon's Coolpix 8800 replaces the 8700 at the top of the Coolpix line-up and is the first Coolpix model with Vibration Reduction (VR). Apart from its 10x zoom lens, the 8800 is almost identical to the 8400, with the same sensor and image processor, the same resolution/compression settings and the same controls and shooting modes for both still and video capture.

The 8800 takes the 8700's design and engine and builds on it, on top of the new lens and Vibration Reduction there are a whole raft of new features and improvements which are also shared by the Coolpix 8400 (the two cameras are virtually identical apart from their lens and body design).
