With the new 8700 (coming) out, I'm contemplating replacing my CoolPix 775. The prospect of 8MP is kind of cool, but don't know that I'd ever need all that resolution. This begs the question about the 5700. Is it still a viable alternative? I know the 8700 has some things improved over the 5700, but if I were to get one, would I be hating life and wanting to trade it in for the 8700?
Longer zooms appeal to me, and while I don't do any/many prints from my 775, I'd be inclined to do more with the others since they're more capable of printing higher quality photos. I used to be an avid photographer, but haven't done much in recent years. The itch never goes away however. :) I'd like a D70 but the size of it doesn't appeal to me and I doubt I'd ever buy more lenses.
