The Nikon Coolpix 4800 digital camera is bringing me a whole new digital shooting experience from my previous Kodak digital camera. The Nikon Coolpix 4800 is lightweight and compact combining 4 megapixels, a powerful 8.3x optical Zoom and a range of functions that make it easy and exciting to... Read full review »

Lovely Hardware, Frustrating Software

bydivinebunbun Jan 31, 2005
15 Helpfuls 16 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Beautifully made, and has all the desirable features. Good tech support.
Cons Photo software troublesome to load; Win98 users, even if you upgraded, need not apply.
Recommended it? Yes

This was my first new-camera purchase after using an SLR (not a Nikon) for 31 years. After much research I bought the digital Nikon Coolpix 4800 because 1) I trusted the brand although Nikons are now manufactured in China instead of Japan; 2) I always wanted a Nikon and 3) this model takes good...

Almost perfect

Pros Good overall camera
Cons Slow for action shots
Recommended it? Yes

I like my Nikon Coolpix 4800. It's lightweight, takes great pictures, the battery lasts forever, easy to use. What don't I like. It's very slow. I get photos of where the stunt plane WAS a few seconds ago, or my son skating AWAY from the goal he just made.... Wish I could morph this camera into a... Read full review »

The Nikon Coolpix 4800 Digital Camera Review - I Love It

bythesurveybox Apr 19, 2007
8 Helpfuls 9 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Excellent close-up capacity, light compensation, built-in flash.
Cons Unprotected viewer, inconvenient to delete memory.
Recommended it? Yes

I've owned this Nikon digital camera for a while now, and originally bought it for photographs I posted on my web site. These particular pictures of wargaming miniatures required what could best be described as 'extreme close-up' capacity, and the Nikon Coolpix 4800 was the only camera that met the...

One of my favorite cameras

bysewin2disney Mar 10, 2008
5 Helpfuls 6 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Excellent zoom, excellent macro capabilities, excellent photos
Cons I just wish it had a faster shutter lag.
Recommended it? Yes

I own many Nikon cameras, and this one has been one of my favorites. I usually take 100 pictures a week (and I'm not a pro photographer, just a casual shooter), so I go through cameras quite often, and this one has stood the test of time. It has come to me on 4 separate Disney World vacations,... Read full review »

Excellent for the job

bytourer Sep 1, 2005
5 Helpfuls 6 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Excellent optical zoom. Compact, easy to carry. Easy to use. Good battery life
Cons Poor software. Little you can do in terms of editing, compression, etc. Image...
Recommended it? Yes

I tour a lot, and had been on the lookout for a good camera for some time. I already had a point and shoot film type camera, which though convenient, had no zoom (therefore rather forgettable landscape/scenery shots), and of course, all the disadvantages of a film camera. The digital camera I had... Read full review »

Good, but not great

bymichaelrh2005 Dec 4, 2005
3 Helpfuls 4 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Many options; large capacity; right-sized for larger hands
Cons Poor flash control in low light.
Recommended it? Yes

I have had the CoolPix for over a year, and got it because of the 8X optical zoom (most pix are nature and landscapes, not parties and people.) Three separate camera stores recommended it, based on my stated requirements. We take a modest number of pictures, and capacity is never a problem. A... Read full review »

Not impressed

byoliver1048 Sep 2, 2005
3 Helpfuls 4 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Great zoom (in lots of light)
Cons Auto focus is SOOOOO bad it makes everything else irrelevant!
Recommended it? No

I got this camera after a long review process. As a building inspector I need good low-light, good auto focus and a long optical zoom. This camera appeared to do all these things.

Not so.

The auto focus (even in normal light) is poor at best. In low light it's a joke!
