Yes and no! I did read the dpreview review on the 8700. I replaced my Canon S20 because it took a whack in my suitcase and has been acting "funny". Like a Windows computer.

Also, while before my need for a camera was strictly hobby, I now need to photograph small items in great detail such as electronic circuit boards.

dpreview gave the Nikon 8700 the "best in class" for macro. My brother works for a large camera shop in the midwest and he confirmed. He also can get all this stuff for me at cost which was a plus.
