Great Second CameraApr 19, 2010
I was looking for a camera specifically to take fishing. I'm a fly fisherman and the camera I have been using is just too heavy, too bulky, and too expensive to carry on the river. This camera offered me a view finder, which I prefer; adequate resolution, a great lens with a very healthy optical zoom. Although somewhat dated technologically, it gives me everything I want and I'm not afraid of drowning it if I take a fall.
 In 2009 the 4800 is old technologyJul 01, 2009
I bought the Coolpix 4800 four years ago, in 2005, and it was already a year old so the price had dropped. I shoot quite a bit of motorsports photography, specifically Rally racing, so I needed something with a long lens that could capture high-speed action. The long lens was nice, but tended to distort at full zoom. In addition, the shutter lag was difficult to use, made even slower by the auto focus on a fast moving object. It was necessary to anticipate where a car would be, hit the shutter, and hope the camera would take the shot while the car was still in range. For regular photos, the images would wash out under bright sun. The color balance was better if I switched to sports mode in sunny conditions.
When my 4800 was stolen from my car this past spring, I was not sorry to see it go. I replaced at with the much newer Nikon Coolpix P60. The P60 is a smaller package but much improved from the 4800. The only thing I gave up was the 8x lens as the P60 lens is only 5x. The photo size is larger, from 4MP on the 4800 to 8MP on the P60. Best of all, the P60 was on sale recently for $99.99. I had been looking for a camera in the $100 range to get me by until I could afford a higher priced camera, but I had not expected to find a camera that was BETTER than the one it replaced at so much less money.
 Wonderful CameraApr 07, 2009
This is a great camera with many options and settings to take wonderful pictures, indoors or out. It has more optical zoom than other cameras in this price range, adding greater resolution to enlargements.
quick but seems to be missing some partsMar 05, 2009
the camera came quick but there was no battery charger in the box so I can't use the camera without the charger. only complaint
