The 8400 and 8800 were both announced at Photokina in September of last year, both feature similar designs and identical 'hearts'. The 8400 aims to be a relatively compact prosumer camera which can offer a wider field of view (by about 10°) than other competitive digital cameras. Read all to find out all about the 8400 and see how it compares to the competition."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/coolpix8400.jpg" /><br /><br />The Coolpix 8400's wide angle lens gives you an extra 10° which is helpful with shooting landscapes and other "wide" subjects. It also appears that the 8400's lens gives a fairly low distortion with few artifacts. 8)
