Well then, it must be the 8700. Mine is at the other house so I can't check
the model number. If what you say is true, then it's the 8700 as one was
bought before Christmas. Is the 8800 much better? At an MSRP of 999.95, I'd
recommend you buy two also. Keep one on the boat.

The correct spelling is "internationally". When did Nikon start producing
the 8800?

Here's a link:

On shelves only recently. A year ago there was only the 8700. The 8800 was
only
reviewed recently.
The Nikon Coolpix 8800 will be available at retail in Fall 2004 at an
MSRP
of $999.95.

Sorry, Gilly. If you bought two, you had em' before even nikon!
