WorkhorseDescription
The Coolpix 8400 was a high-end "prosumer" digital camera at the time of its release. It is particularly notable for its exceptionally wide-angle lens, which starts at an equivalent of 24mm—a rarity for compact digital cameras in the mid-2000s. It features a Zoom Nikkor ED lens with an aperture range of f/2.6 to f/4.9. The camera includes a fully articulating LCD screen, a magnesium alloy body, and the ability to shoot in RAW format, making it a favorite for landscape and architectural photographers who wanted a portable alternative to a bulky DSLR. As a bridge camera, the 8400 combines the ease of a point-and-shoot with the manual control of a professional system. Ultra-Wide Lens: The 24-85mm (equivalent) focal range is highly sought after for wide interior shots and expansive landscapes. Articulating Screen: The "vari-angle" monitor allows for shooting at high or low angles while still being able to see the framing. ED Glass: The Extra-low Dispersion glass in the lens helps reduce chromatic aberration (color fringing).Category
