Nikon Coolpix 8700 Never Again
I purchased my Nikon 8700 in March and was disappointed from the start.
Then in July the camera became Schizophrenic. The operating software has gone completely haywire. The camera does what it wants to do, not what I want it to do. Pretty neat trick for a mere $700. First, the electronic viewfinder presents a flawed image of the subject. Second, the function buttons on the lens barrel are too easily activated by accident. Third, the image write cycle time is unacceptably long. Fourth, the damn silly lens cap arrangement causes the cap to be constantly in the way. And finally fifth, the camera has now stopped functioning. Just GREAT! Advise from Nikon has been useless. Only choice is to send camera off for repair or replacement. Wonderful, I'll get back the same lousy camera. Oh well live and learn. By the way how do you spell Canon?

Well, numbers 2, 3 and 4 are things you should have researched before buying, aren't they? Send it to be replaced. Sell the replacement. Oh, and consider posting to the right group. This is the MARKETPLACE group.

So you got a lemon and your too cheap to send it back to Nikon for free
waranty service. You'd rather keep an $800 brick and whine about it. I hate to say it but I will - YOUR AN IDIOT. wrote in message oups.com...
