Yeepeeee....so excited, I am going for my trip with a cool new toy! My "new" Nikon Coolpix 8700 - 8 megapixels digital camera! Still at a blur of how to take those cool looking pictures with it..but I swear I'll try...anyone willing to take in a student for free? Pls contact me.
Getting a Pro-cam was one of my wish this year..been surfing around for a cheap and good one. Since I am a beginner, and can't afford a brand new set, getting a set from the auctions was one of my first options. I started surfing on and off....came across a few good ones but too ex for me. Cost SGD$900 to buy a Nikon 8800. Then while surfing yesterday, something caught my eye...a 1 year old Nikon 8700. After contacting the seller, he is asking for SGD$680..strictly no discount. I called up one of the Sim Lim shops I know and enquired about the price for a brand new set...SGD$1350~ WOW.
I was truely tempted by then....so pestered dear about his opinion. I did my due research on the web for comments about this model...good and bad..but for the price and features, I would say its good! We consulted two friends into this photography thingy and they both commented its a good buy. So on 6/7/06 (the day before my BanGkok trip), I owned my first Nikon Coolpix 8700 Professional Camera!!! Can't wait to bring it overseas to take some great pictures...also pray hard I can sell my old Olympus cam to get back some bucks for it.
