Great little camera [Posted on 2007-03-02]
The Coolpix P4 received lukewarm reviews when it was released in the spring of 2006 with a list price of $399, but you can forget all that. In Canada this camera retails for something less than $300 now, and that makes it a tremendous value. This camera features a very solid aluminum body, a large 1/1.8" 8.1 MP sensor, excellent Nikkor optics and optical VR. It even has a very good macro mode. Most importantly, it takes great photos. The VR is very effective: I have taken clean handheld photos as slow as 1/4 second. Even though it's a point and shoot and the Auto mode is fairly reliable, the P4 is clearly aimed at the advanced user, because you really need to know what you're doing if you want to take full advantage of its capabilities. I found that I got my best indoor photos when I set the exposure mode to aperture priority, disabled the flash and used the "Pre" function for white balance. If nothing else the P4 is great as an inexpensive, go-anywhere 2nd camera for the DSLR owner.
Dead after 8 months of light use... [Posted on 2007-05-08]
I've been a loyal Canon user for years, but a friend recommended this camera, and based on the image quality he's getting, I purchased it. It was indeed a good camera, until the flash went out, and finally the camera is just dead. I've been trying to get Nikon to fix it, but no luck so far.
Further, the camera has no viewfinder, only the screen on the back, which is somewhat useless in bright daylight.
occasional photographer [Posted on 2007-05-12]
this digital camera has excellent resolution,user friendly with tons of options.i have used other friends digital cameras for events and get togethers and their cameras photos did not come out as clear as my photos did with this camera.i believe that nikon and canon are two of the best optical digital cameras on the market.also the overwhelming options that this camera gives you would easily satisfy most photographers.i have to say i am very pleased with it.
Too fat [Posted on 2007-08-29]
I purchased the camera about a year ago. The photographs are just okay. Unfortunately, the body of the camera is fat and difficult to get in and out of your pocket or camera case. If you like carrying around a camera in your pocket for quick shots, this camera is not for you.
Nikon Coolpix 4600 4.1 mp sent instead [Posted on 2007-10-28]
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.
