Nikon Coolpix 4800 Review

by Tracey Capen

- The Nikon Coolpix 4800 is one of the few point-and-shoots we've tested that has a long (8.3X) zoom and 4-megapixel imaging and yet costs no more than $400.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: good zoom

    Weaknesses: no image stabilizer which comes in handy for high zooming in shots. Alot of mine are fuzzy

    Overall Evaluation: Overall this camera is perfect for me and has all the critical options I was looking for such as a good zoom, easily usable, great picture quality, and rapid shooting. I highly recommend this camera for all levels of photography ability!

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Very easy to use, great red-eye reduction, lots of scene settings

    Weaknesses: a little big but a fair trade off for an 8x zoom

    Overall Evaluation: This is my first digital camera and I did not have any trouble making the transition from 35mm. I find it very easy to use and love the ability to film videos. Also, this camera has consistently been able to get rid of my "red eyes" which is no small feat. My only complaint is about the size - a little bulky but from what I understand a trade-off that has to be made if you want a larger zoom.
