I am new to digital cameras, but this makes no sense at all.
Everyone always hypes up the D70 which is 6.1 megapixels. The Coolpix 8700 is 8.1 megapixels AND a grand cheaper. I compared the two side by side here, and there was little difference. Why the hell is a smaller megapixeled camera, with less features, MORE expensive? Somebody...set m straight.
