Nikon - COOLPIX 4600 Digital Camera Review Summary

The digital camera has completely replaced old-fashioned film at the lower price-points and Nikon is a major player. And the Nikon CoolPix 4600 Digital Camera receives (relatively) high marks from our community of budding digital photogs; one remarked that the camera: “I absolutely love this camera. I know that they have discontinued it, but if you want a great camera and can find it on ebay...GETIT!!” But still another reviewer stated: “Overall, we are very disappointed in Nikon and this camera.” The small silver Nikon CoolPix 4600 offers up to 4.0 megapixel resolution, 3x (34 -102mm) optical zoom, as well as auto-focus and video recording.

The Nikon 4600 is very easy to use you can buy at any Best buy or electronics store. This camera this not too expensive and is very affordable. The Nikon has 7 settings on it. Mean you can take moving pictures, video, still pictures, and in any weather. It's very compact mean you can carry with you...

We started using this camera after our Nikon Coolpix 995 turned up missing.  We loved the coolpix 995 so much that when our first one died (after 6 years) we purchased another 995 off eBay.  This camera is a good camera for a person who just wants to go out & point and shoot various pictures and isn't... review »

I am reviewing the Nikon Coolpix 4600 Digital camera. Let me just start off by saying that this is really a great camera for the novice, or experienced photographer. It has an effective range of 4.0 megapixels, and a 3x optical zoom! I have found that the 4.0 megapixel range is capable of reproducing great high detail pictures, which make great 5x7 prints. Nikon cameras, even when rated at a lower megapixel rating still tend to have a higher quality cmos sensor capable of capturing more vivid detail than many other consumer brands. The 3x optical zoom is also a very nice addition to the unit itself....

This Nikon-COOLPIX 4600 digital camera is sufficient for taking simple pictures like for Ebay, etc. Which is what I use it for mostly. I tend to have problems with reflections from the flash on new plastic covered items and items with electronic screens, but the picture doesn't seem to come out as good when using it without the flash. I usually have to take the picture on an angle when using the automatic flash mode. It does take good pictures of written details when zoomed all the way in as long as you don't get a reflection from the automatic flash. It is a good handy size that is easy...

It has 8.1 Megapixels for stunning prints as large as 16 x 20 inches.  Plenty of sharp resolution to capture the finest details, crop creatively and product incredible enlargements.

The Nikon Coolpix 4600 is a fantastic beginner digital camera that combines a clear LCD live screen that allows you to visualize the picture you are taking and user friendly console that is easily mastered. The 3x lens zoom and 4x digital zoom create great photographys from closeup detail to medium range clarity. Flash settings can be manually manipulated to specific situations to create the best finished product. Camera shake is a small problem in certain settings creating a slightly blurry image. Luckily, the camera warns you of the vibration so that you can stabilize the camera, and the quick...

The camera captures great high-resolution images very light weight, and is perfectly suited for shirt pockets Not much larger than a credit card ,capable of focusing as close 1.6 inches , Operating this camera is so straightforward I doubt you'll need the manual for much more than reference, although it's definitely worth reading about how to use the Best Shot Selector function for low-light photos, and learning to use the Preset White Balance option. nice selection of external control buttons, making it very easy-to-navigate .

Also included with the Coolpix 4600 is a video cable for connecting...

This is a great little digital camera.  Most point and shoot digitals have blurred pictures.  Usually it is difficult to hold the camera still enough to keep camera shake from ruining your shots.  This camera is the exception.  The pictures are sharp and blur free.  It takes great shots in low light situations.  There are a few manual controls available. 

 I usually use a DSLR, but sometimes it's just not practical.  I have this coolpix as my companion when I can't take along my bulky, complicated Nikon DSLR.  It is small enough to fit in my pocket, yet still takes great pictures.  In...

I have had this camera for two and a half years.  My husband and I have not been happy with it since its purchase.  Big mistake!  We cannot believe it does not have sound for its videos (however, the newer versions do).  Our shutter is stuck open; other friends' coolpix cameras have shared the same problem, but there is nothing to fix it.  You have to learn how to use the settings properly or your pics won't take well.  The camera sometimes doesn't even save your pic, so you have to constantly check for them!  Overall, we are very disappointed in Nikon and this camera.

I bought this camera last year and I love it.  I got it to replace my Kodak Easyshare and I must say, this camera is a huge improvement!  It takes great pictures and is easy to use.  The only complaints I have are: 1) the shutter tends to be slow and cause pics to come out blurry a lot and 2) the instructions are rather complicated.  So it's entirely possible the slow shutter speed issue is fixable and I just haven't figured out how to fix it yet.  But other than than that, I really enjoy using this compact, light-weight camera to take great pics of my family.

We purchased the Nikon 2 wks before my daughter was born.  She's now 2 1/2 & I guess I should be grateful that it's lasted this long but the the shutter lens is starting to stall out.  You have to turn the camera on & off a couple of times for it to open.  The picture quality is fantastic & it's fairly easy to use.  I just hope that the lens failing to open is not the start of a downhill slide!

I have enjoyed my Nikon Cool Pix. I let my ten year old grandson use while we were on vacation and he took great pictures without knowing anything about the camera but where to click.

We used the camera for close ups as well as regular. I have used the sports feature, where you can take the pictures faster.

 The portrait feature allows you to take great portraits easily.

I love this product and I think you will too!  This is a great digital camera that has many features to it.  These features include, 4.0 megapixels, 3x optical zoom, in-camera red-eye fix, video, and options for the scenario.  Some of the options that it has are:  fireworks show, indoor, outdoor, underwater, etc.  If you are into photography, this is the camera for you!
