Digital camera reviews of Nikon Coolpix 4800 4MP Digital Camera with 8.3x Optical Zoom

Digital camera Review: 6 years worth of great photos
Summary: 4 Stars

I got this camera 6 years ago, and have taken literally thousands of photos with it. With very few exceptions, I've been extremely happy with its design and performance. Yes, it's a bit bulky by current standards, but one of the reasons I bought it is that it's shaped like a camera, not like a cell phone (I often take photos one-handed). I have used almost every mode, but I use the macro (close-up) the most. I have received many compliments on some incredible close-ups I've taken. Regular AA batteries would be nice, I'll admit. Battery life has been excellent, but is finally starting to wane- to be expected after 6 years, but it still gets me through a normal day of sightseeing. Movie quality isn't great, but it's ok. One of the best features is the viewfinder (almost impossible to find anymore on all but full size SLRs). It even has a diopter adjustment, allowing me to take off my glasses and still see clearly through it. In conditions that wash out screens, I can take great photos while those around me are just hoping for the best. Using the viewfinder, I can also take photos without having a bright screen shining in my face and attracting attention. It has the option of displaying the same information as the screen. I can't believe that viewfinders are no longer available. I once dropped this camera on a hiking trail (a pretty hard, tumbling landing), with no functional damage, just some scratches. Overall, this camera has been a bomb-proof workhorse, and I get positive comments on the camera and photos even to this day.
