Nikon has produced a number of digital cameras in the Coolpix line, beginning with the 900 model. The Nikon Coolpix 4800 digital camera has taken the Coolpix range into the long zoom realm. With its 4 megapixel quality image and 8x optical zoom lens, together with ease of use and feature packed performance, it is the camera for ordinary people and not just the photographic enthusiast.

The Coolpix 4800 includes features of earlier 3200,4200 and 5200 models but made easy for use with all automatic controls and surprisingly compact for a long zoom camera.

The Nikon Coolpix 4800 is larger than most other members of the Coolpix line. A bit shorter and a bit narrower than a 3×5″ index card, and a little over two inches thick, it’s too big for a shirt pocket, but will still fit comfortably in most pants or coat pockets. Its body panels appear to be constructed entirely of plastic, but the plastic is thick enough that the camera still feels reasonably solid.

The Coolpix 4800 features both an electronic viewfinder (”EVF”) and a 1.8-inch color LCD monitor. The camera uses contrast-detection autofocus in normal mode. In Macro mode, the camera focuses as close as 0.4 inches (1 centimeter).

Turning on the camera triggers the shutter-like lens cover to open, and the lens to extend forward anywhere from 3/8 to 1 inch, depending on the zoom position.

Other camera features include a Self-Timer mode, which provides a 10-second delay between the time the Shutter button is pressed and when the image is actually captured. A Continuous Shooting mode captures a rapid series of images while the Shutter button is held down, with the actual number of images dependent on the size and quality settings, as well as the amount of memory card space.

The Coolpix 4800’s Movie mode offers three options: TV Movie 640, (640 x 480, 15fps, 440 seconds max on 256MB card) Small size (320×240 pixels, 15fps, 880 seconds max on 256MB card), and Smaller size (160 x 120, 15fps, 3520 seconds max on 256MB card). Provided you’re using a fast enough memory card, the actual length of recording time depends only on the amount of available SD card space (there is no arbitrary limit set by buffer capacity), and appears in the LCD monitor.

Basic Features

• Nikon Picture Project software for both Mac and Windows.
• Tutorial video.

Special Features

• ED Glass lens.
• 5 Multi-point AF, or user selectable AF point.
• QuickTime movies (with sound).
• Continuous Shooting, Multi-Shot, and Multi-Shot 16 mode.
• Eleven preset Scene modes, plus four Scene Assist modes.
• Internal memory stores 4 – 8 full-res images.
• Self-timer for delayed shutter release.

• Camera shake warning.
• Macro (close-up) lens adjustment.
• White balance (color) adjustment with seven modes, including a manual setting.
