An easy-to-use 2.11 mega-pixel digital camera with world-class Nikon optics, the Coolpix 800 is the ideal choice for anyone who wants Nikon's award-winning optical excellence and easy handling, but who doesn't need all of the more extensive photographic features of the Coolpix 950 or 990.

Fully automatic and easy-to-use, the feature-packed but compact (only 9.5 ounces) Coolpix 800 provides photo hobbyists and business users alike with high performance, versatility, and high image quality. Built in the award-winning tradition of Nikon's highly successful, Coolpix family of digital cameras, the rugged Coolpix 800 offers 2.11 million pixel resolution, a 2x Nikkor zoom lens and refined electronics to create the vastly superior images that Nikon is known for worldwide. Good enough even to make 11 x 14” prints.

Features:

2x Nikkor (7-14mm) zoom lens (38 to 76mm in 35mm equivalent)
offers unprecedented sharpness, clarity and color. And, with the 
touch of a button, you can digitally zoom in a further 1.25x to 
2.5x. You can also shoot subjects as close as 2.8 inches away
with the Macro setting.

Fast, high-precision autofocus (480 steps) ensures razor-sharp
pictures every time, plus it offers a choice of three TTL metering
modes: Nikon exclusive 256 element matrix metering,
center-weighted and spot.

Automatic and manual white balance with presets for sunny,
cloudy, incandescent, fluorescent and flash conditions.

Superior overall picture quality is further enhanced by Nikon's
new on-board software and electronics. This revolutionary
system operates automatically to make sure that every image is
perfectly balanced and color reproduction is vivid and true to life.
Capture unbelievably beautiful pictures in the blink of an eye.

With one touch, you can select ultra-high-definition, rich,
full-sized 1600 x 1200 pixel (uncompressed TIFF mode) images,
1/16-size frames, or easy-to-store 640 x 480 VGA-sized images.

For photographers on the run, the Coolpix 800 features Nikon's
exclusive Best-Shot Selector (BSS). This program allows you to
shoot ten frames in five seconds, and then instantly analyzes the
image frequencies, selects the best one and discards the others.

vibration that otherwise can blur or ruin perfect business, holiday,
family, or vacation action picture.

second for up to 40 quarter VGA-sized (320 x 240 pixels)
