This camera even came with an original manual, case and USB cord. Lens goes to f/2.8 for lo light shooting. Thanks.

Price was excellent but not convinced it is genuine as I have 2 originals that came with my camera. Original battery weighs 33 grams, these only weigh 24 grams (1/4 ounce difference) which is noticeable even when you pick them up. Will see how it lasts. Still one of the heavier after market batteries so hopefully that means the cells are good.

Previously I owned a Nikon Coolpix 2000 camera which my friend borrowed indefinitely. After that I bought a Sony camera that required repair twice. I decided to buy another Nikon Coolpix 2000 camera, but the price was only a little more for the Coolpix 4600. This camera takes fairly high-quality photos and is very easy to use. I like that it only requires 2 AA batteries for operation. One pair of batteries typically lasts 200 photos in this camera, with about half of the photos using the flash. Overall size is small enough to carry in my pocket, but it is not very slim. The only things I don't like about this camera are the following: 1. In regular mode the flash off option quit working 2. The video feature does not record any audio 3. Features I like to use are missing or hard to find, like Sepia, exposure, and aperture settings 4. In cold weather, the lens cover does not always close the whole way Overall it was a good buy and I'm happy with the product. I would buy another Nikon digital camera over any other brand any day.

The camera is fairly easy to use. Having it on automatic it takes great pictures. However, if you try some of the scenes it is less than great. I tried it out on the indoor setting (party), and the colors brightened, but the picture was blurry. Perhaps it would come out if the camera was on a flat surface or on a tripod, but if someone is at a reception and just wants to take some candid snapshots that would not be practical. The most annoying feature is how long it takes after taking a flash picture to be ready to take another one. I timed it, and it is something like ten seconds, really unacceptable. I have an Olympus FER-100 that writes to memory and refreshes in well under that. If you are just going to allow the camera to adjust everything automatically for outdoor pictures, it will be fine. However for indoor pictures look elsewhere.Read full review
Nikon has created a winner with the CoolPix 4600! It features a Compact Design, Lots of Automatic Features and it's priced just right for an entry level camera (about $180 retail). The CoolPix 4600 is a great choice for the person that wants to take a camera everywhere you go. Nikon has packed lots of features into this tiny 4 Megapixel camera. The camera controls and settings are intuitively designed and easily accessible. You don't need to read the manual before you can start using this camera! The 4600 has a very small package design (approximately 3" x 2-1/2" x 1", 4 oz.). It easily fits into your shirt pocket. Even though this camera is small, Nikon has designed the body so that it's comfortable to hold without getting your fingers in the way of the lens. The 4600 features Nikon's legendary Nikkor optics. It has a 3X optical zoom and a 4X digital zoom for an total zoom of 12X. It has a 1.5" LCD for viewing while taking or reviewing pictures. The display is a reasonable size and is easily viewable in daylight conditions. One feature that Nikon has retained is an optical viewfinder. Many new digital cameras no longer provide an optical viewfinder. Using the optical viewfinder, instead of the LCD, is a great way to conserve power. Nikon's optical viewfinder also adjusts to the zoom level in realtime. You can get a pretty good idea of how the final image will turn out. The CoolPix 4600's metering and autofocus use technology that works well in low/no light conditions. I have an old CoolPix 800 and it won't take a picture if there isn't enough ambient light for the metering and autofocus system. The ability to take pictures in low light is a big plus as far as I'm concerned. The 4600s built-in flash is bright and works well up to 3m (10 ft). I would category as an advanced point-n-shoot camera. It has 12 preset scene modes and the ability to take video clips at 30 fps (no audio). This camera doesn't really have any manual options, so if you like to customize settings when you take pictures, this camera is probably not for you. The CoolPix 4600 uses 2 AA batteries; you don't have to worry about replacing a proprietary battery. Two batteries make the camera light. Battery life is very good; you should be able to take dozens of pictures with one set or on one charge. The 4600 stores images on an SD card. It comes with a 16Mb SD card in the box. The 4600 interfaces with your computer via a mini-USB plug. It doesn't have an AV output, so you can't plug the 4600 directly to a television or other video device. In summary, I think the CoolPix 4600 is a great value for the entry level photographer. It's numerous automatic settings & scene modes cover most lighting conditions that amateur photographers will encounter. It's 4 MP resolution and 3X optical zoom produce clear crisp images. As of this writing, I believe that Nikon has replaced the CoolPix 4600 with the CoolPix L4. I've seen the CoolPix 4600 priced at about $150 retail at my local big box store (you might have to look for a sale). I haven't used the newer camera, but I would guess that it's an incremental update to the 4600's design. At a glance, the L4 has a larger LCD (2") and it appears that Nikon has removed the optical viewfinder. If you have any comments, corrections or suggestions regarding this review, feel free to send me an e-mail. I'm always interested in improving my reviews and guides.Read full review
