I love the panos my Nikon/Kiwi 990 wth fisheye FC-E8 produces, unfortunately i have to use elastic bands around the battery compartment to keep the contact on the loose door :-(  After years of changing batteries, it has become loose, and for the money it would cost to replace the part it doesn't seem worth it.  Is there another Nikon camera i can use with the same fisheye lens and kiwi? I don't have alot of money to spend on a whole new camera system

your thoughts appreciated.

Do you loose the ceiling and floor when you use 8400?

The CP5000 is the last model that will except the FC-E8. See this link for a compatability list.

Any CP cameras released after the CP5000 must use the FC-E9

I was lucky and found a new CP5000 - usa model for $475. There are some reconditioned models out there for very affordable prices. Look at the list and I bet you can find a camera for under $300 bucks that will use the FC-E8

There are other cameras that can use the FC-E8 lens. You will have to do a little searching but I have seen third party adapters for this lens that will work with cameras other than nikon.
