Nikon COOLPIX 4300 Digital Camera

Pros: Four MegaPixels, excellent 3X Nikkor Zoom, “Point’n’Shoot” simplicity, and price
Cons: With this feature set and at this price point, none that are significant

Nikon has been one of the world’s premier camera/optics firms for more than half a century, and since the beginning of the digital photography revolution Coolpix digital cameras have been among the most popular (and best selling) in the high tech...

Pros: 4 MegaPixels, Ease of Use, Excellent color reproduction, advanced/pro features, price!
Cons: Ummm... not the Coolpix 4500?! Let me try to think of a better con...

This is a live report from a Dermatologist office in New York on the CoolPix 4300! Ok... ok, not a live report, but a friend and teacher of mine during my medical residency years purchased this wonderful camera to archive the various things he sees on...

Pros: Ease of use, four megapixels, price, size, options
Cons: Battery could be better, 16MB flash card

After spending the past three years with an Olympus digital camera that ate batteries like Rosanne eats Twinkies, I felt that it was time for a change. The prices of the better cameras had come down to reasonable levels and these reasonable levels...

Pros: 4 megapixels, point and shoot capacity, great images, pro/advanced features, easy to use
Cons: Cheated on optical zoom

What's lacking in the new realms of most digital cameras is the phenomenon known as "shutter speed." Shutter lag is what gets on the nerves of many photography purists when it comes to the use of digital cameras. But with the release of new cameras,...

Pros: Perfect for beginners like my husband and wonderful for intermediates like me!
Cons: A couple of tiny little quirks I'll mention later.

(Wow. I haven't been on Epinions in a while. We can write 20 word reviews now? I guess I'm done . ;) *That was twenty exactly! How 'bout that?*) Well, anyway ... The reason we "went digital" is because my husband and I just had a baby and I have ...

Pros: Great photo quality, 4 megapixels, lots of options, nikon quality.
Cons: To big to pocket carry, more expensive than some equal models.

Having friends that have more money than they know what to do with is nice. Every camera I have reviewed so far are ones that I have borrowed from friends or own myself (only 1 I own, the Canon S230). The reason I became interested in trying out the ...

Pros: It's a small package but packs a LOT of power and the price is reasonable.
Cons: My only complaint is the lag between a picture and the next/

I started taking pictures about 30 years ago, when I bought my first camera, a compact pocket camera that used to be very popular in the seventies. In the eighties I graduated to my first 35mm SLR camera and I thought I was in heaven. I loved my camera ...

Pros: small, goodlooking, good macro and automatical focus, quick trigger, good picture display
Cons: no RAW, small LCD, no "aidlamp" for the autofocus, too complex menus

Introduction

The Nikon Coolpix 4300 is of the well acknowledged Nikon quality, including 4 Megapixels and 3x optical zoom. This model replaced the old 880/885-series, which has been a best-seller all over the world. So the expectations...

Pros: Easy to hold, beautiful pictures, simple setup and documentation, durable
Cons: Indoor photos can wash out, no sound with video (read on), pointless 16MB card

It is easy to read the specs of the camera from the company website or even other reviews so I will ...

Pros: So many features, easy to use, easy to learn, great automatic mode
Cons: no sound when the shutter is released

I decided to buy the CoolPix 4300 for myself as a birthday gift after reading many of the reviews on this site. The Nikon appeared to have all the features I wanted, and a great price. This review focuses on my view of the camera, rather than a ...

Pros: Advanced Features, Batter Life, Sharp Pics, Nikon Lens, Molds to hand, Easy transfer to PC
Cons: Slow when waiting for ability to take next picture. Longer to charge battery.

I am an IT guy, someone who works with computers and graphics every day. I also enjoy photography as a hobby. Digital cameras pretty new and I never got one until the Nikon 4300. I could say that I am overly satisfied since I am a detailed person looki ...

Pros: Great Compact Camera
Cons: Indoor and Outdoor options have give and takes

Before I get into my review, I do want to start off by saying I did not pay for this camera. Well, I paid $25 for it, but the company I work for paid for the rest of it. It was a contest. My reasoning for telling you this right off is so that you will ...

Pros: 4 Megapixels, Bright Display, Easy to use, advanced features, 12x digital zoom, compact
Cons: No sound w/video, instruction book intimidating, zoom and focus slow

My previous experience with a digital camera has been with the "snapshot" feature on an analog video camera. The quality was awful but you could download the photos through a serial port which was kind of cool. I later saw digital cameras at parties and...

Pros: Very easy to use
Cons: Not great action shots

Before purchasing a digital camera I wanted to make sure that a digital camera was what I really wanted. I take pictures. Lots and lots of pictures, some great pictures some really bad pictures. I was worried that digital photos would just not hold up...

Pros: Durability, Ease of Use, Options, Size
Cons: Optical Zoom is a little weak; no neck strap

I found this camera to be able to do pretty much whatever I need it to. I took it on my vacation to Arizona last week and took over 500 pictures. At least 75% of them came out very well, and the ones that didn't were mostly due to user error. It's ...
