 The N8000 featured a plastic body with plastic lenses, a fixed 1/60 shutter speed and a 3 position manual aperture lever that selected f8, f11 or f19.The N9000 was a more compact, sleeker version but was essentially the same camera, except with 2 aperture settings, f8 and f16, instead of 3.Part of the marketing effort included a promotional/instructional video starring Vincent Price.
