Can I use the Nikon Coolpix 8700 for portrait photography?
I'm looking to get into professional portrait photography. I've found a Nikon Coolpix 8700 camera in my price range but I'm not sure it's right for what I'm needing it for.
it might be but your not going to have enough control over it. try a d40 or d50 and lights? you might want to invest in that as well. also a backdrop.
That said, may I ask:
What is your background in photography?
Have you taken formal classes?
Have you worked as an assistant to a portrait photographer?
Are you well-versed in lighting, both flash and constant?
Are you good at posing people and getting them to respond to you and your camera?
Will you be working in a separate studio or in your home? Will you lease studio space? If so, who is responsible for the utilities?Will you be required to carry insurance? If in your home, do you need any type of zoning variance? Are there any licensing requirements at the local or even state level? Will you be taking any portraits "on location" such as in an office or at a construction site? Do you have the necessary portable lighting system for this?
Do you have insurance to cover accidents (someone falling off a stool or tripping over a power cord, etc.) and to cover your equipment if its lost, stolen or broken?
Have you incorporated your business as an S-Type or LLC? (If not, and the business fails or incurs litigation you may find yourself losing your house, car, etc. to pay the loans you took to buy equipment or the damages if you're sued.. Last summer, a bride sued a florist for $700,000.00 because her flowers weren't the exact color she wanted. Even if she were to get just 1% of that amount $7,000.00 is still a large amount of money. What if she gets 10%?)
Do you have a business plan?
Do you have an accountant to assist with your taxes? There are certain rules about deductions for your business and using part of your home for business purposes.
Will this be your sole means of support? If so, do you have enough savings to pay all your current bills and buy food, medicine, etc. until the portrait business becomes profitable? Remember, this might take a year or more.
Good luck.
How do you eliminate blur when taking photos using a Nikon Coolpix 8700?
I tried tweaking the camera settings but couldn't get it right. I'm thinking increase the shutter speed but it only under/overexposed the shots. Any advice?
Switch it to the sports mode, or set the E/V between -1/3 to -1
If you are shooting in low light, to reduce blur, try increasing the ISO (sensitivity of the sensor). Don't overdo it though! Increasing the ISO also increases noise and makes your photos look grainy.
Of course you can always use flash... that will stop the blurring.
Also try putting it on the sports setting.
Does anyone have the Nikon Coolpix 8700 digital camera? I have a couple of questions.?
The flash almost always overexposes everything. How do I fix that? I'm not standing too close to the subject when I try to use it.
What flash setting can I use for taking a picture at night?
What add on lens do you recommend for this camera that will provide a really good zoom?
Is there anyway to take pictures rapidly without all of them being blurry because the camera takes so long to focus a shot?
Why are the multi-shot (rapid shots) not showing up on my camera card when I put it in my camera, and why does it show a clipboard on the camera screen when I try using that feature?
multi shots use manual focus,
use a tripod
lens attachments no way I would use them the optics are poor
flash at nite use nite portrait if ding people shots
why is it over exposing post an example and may be able to answer
a
You can also google Magic Lantern and see if they have a Guide for your camera. Their Guides are better illustrated -and with step by step examples - than most original manuals.
What kind of night photos are you wanting to take? People? City skylines? Indoors or outdoors? You can expect to lose a lot of the light from your flash at night, especially outdoors.
Those "add on" lenses are usually just a way of seperating you from your money. Save your money so you can invest in a DSLR if your interest in photography justifies it.
Nikon Coolpix 8700 under 300USD?
Do you think it is possible to buy a Nikon Coolpix 8700 under 300USD?
Even on eBay prices are reaching $300+. I don't want to sound negative, but your chances of finding this camera at that price is unlikely.
how to transfer pictures form a coolpix 8700 to a mac?
Hey, hook it up .. Mac and graphics are made for each other.
Flash photography with Nikon CoolPix 8700?
The flash on my camera has stopped working after my kids tampered with it. It used to work before. There is nothing apparently broken on it. In low light situations, the flash head still activates, but the light does not flash (light up the photo). Is there a way to reset the camera to manufacturers settings or unlock the flash so that it "flashes"?

where can i buy nikon coolpix 8700 , new not used from ebay.?
Nowhere: Nikon discontinued it about three years ago.
It was only made for a short while anyway, about 6 months after I bought mine (soon after it was released) Nikon came out with the 8800 (pretty much the same camera but with Vibration Reduction).
Coolpix 8700 nikon Camara ?

Does a lens adapter work for every type of camera?
I want a lens adapter that takes 52mm filters and lens, but i can't find an inexpensive one for my canon s5 is. Though I did find other lens adapters for 52mm that are way cheaper. For example will a nikon coolpix 8700 lens adapter fit on a canon s5 is?
so can i use a a canon powershot a570 52mm lens adapter on my canon? since they're the same brand
It is usually safer to stick to the same brand, but since your S5 is not a DSLR, I think it can work. It is basically just making sure the screw-threading fits. The threading is usually standard, so for example fitlers can fit on all cameras lenses.
Be sure to try it first to make sure, IF you can. Go to a shop that sells it, bring your camera and try it, you don;t have to buy it from that shop, but at least you made sure you can use it (or not).
How much could I sell my Nikon 8 MP camera for?
I have a Nikon 8.0 Mega Pixel camera with 8x optical zoom that I want to sell. I think it's about 5 years old. The model number is Coolpix 8700. What would be a good price to ask for it? Thanks!
you could try looking the camera up on ebay to see what theyre selling for. from what i seen theyre selling in between 150 and 300 dollars. it all depends on the condition of the product. you can also post it on craigslist for sale and advertise it for sale to the highest offer. that way you can see what people are willing to pay for it. i hope this helped you in any way.
