 BEST CAMERA EVER!Jan 11, 2010
I have had this camera for over 4 years now and it is the absolute best camera ever! The buttons are all worn out but it still works like it is brand new!!
Reading the product review on amazon sums up this camera but here are some more good pointers!!
The battery life lasts a while and when the battery does die, it only takes 1 hour (60 mins) to charge fully!! When I go to the Red Sox games I will have my camera on the entire game and it lasts almost the whole game! It does last more than 200 pictures! If the camera is dying it lets you know and then you have a lot of time left to take pictures.
It takes the best pictures!!!!!
I LOVE every setting on this camera and the sports setting is the best! I bring this camera to the Red Sox games and sit far away and I can take awesome pictures!!
The zoom is amazing! Even the optical zoom works excellent!
The vibration reduction setting is pretty cool too! Even if you have a tendency to shake when you take pictures. When riding in a car you can take a perfect picture! Even when the pitcher is pitching you can catch him any way you want! Or make a line of pictures to show the steps of pitching!
The video records awesome and the sound is great!
It takes great pictures in the dark and when you use the backlight setting, you can take pictures outside and block the sun OR you can go to a concert and block all of those bright lights!
Its small enough to fit into your pocket but not too small. The screen is nice and big and easy to see. No viewfinder but that is what makes this camera even better!
What else can I say about this camera other than its the best! Totally worth your money!!!!!!! Dont think twice about this camera!
As long as you can handle the mega pixels, I would RECOMMEND this camera!!!
I did have a friend who was a beginner and she tried to use the camera but her pictures did not come out as good as mine. But there is an easy menu to choose from or you can use the auto setting. I have never used this setting but I like to make it so I can choose exactly what I want and it does work good.
I would love this camera to last forever but it is time for me to move to a larger camera. I am going to keep this camera in my purse but I am getting the Nikon D5000 so I cane have a more professional camera.
Will never stop loving this camera!!!!!Aug 14, 2008
I bought this camera to replace my P3, and it's exactly the same as the p3 minus the wifi ability, but that was a bit too complicated for me to figure out so I never used it anyway! So I'm absolutely still in love with my Nikon and will be for a very very long time. The picture quality is SO crisp and picks up the greatest detail, with wonderful color. I would be lost with out it! And I won't forget to mention it actually takes pretty good video, the quality is amazing as well! The possibilities are endless with the p4, I highly recommend it to EVERYONE!!
Love this cameraJun 18, 2008
There are probably better point and shoots out there, but I cut my teeth with this one, so I love it. Great color, good macro, and really portable.

 Nikon Coolpix 4600 4.1 mp sent insteadOct 27, 2007
www.adorama.com adevertised the wrong item for the $80 price, and instead they sent me a Nikon CookPix 4600 4.1 mp digital camera instead. They told me a refurbished Nikon Coolpix P4 8.1 mp would be $170 instead. They said they would take back the Nikon Coolpix 4600 4.1 mp, but I decided to keep it, because for the price it still had a lot of features, and it works quite well. If a bargain seems too good, it might be a mistake. Nice thing about the Nikon Coolpix 4600 is that it uses less expensive AA batteries, and one can use the rechargeable metal hydride AA batteries in it. It does not have vibration reduction though and at 4.1 mp, it would not be as sharp in enlargements at 8.1 mp. Still, for now I am satisfied with it.

Of course I use to be a professional photographer at Polaroid 30 years ago.
My only complaint with the Nikon CookPix 4600 with 1.5 inch LCD screen is that in bright sunlight it is hard to see the image. It gets about 80 to 100 pictures on two AA alkaline batteries without flash.

Easy to use, good looking cameraSep 17, 2007
This is one very good looking camera. The steel body looks sturdy and stylish. It works great and the pictures are good. The outdoor pictures are excellent, but I wish they were a little sharper.
The auto-flash option is a little annoying sometimes because it flashes even in moderate daylight making the pictures look darker than it actually is.
Night pictures come out nice because of the powerful flash, better than a lot of other cameras I've used..
Overall a good value for money.
