Measuring 85 x 60 x 35 mm (3.3 x 2.4 x 1.3 in) and weighing just 192gr or 6.8 ounces with the battery and memory card loaded, the Nikon Coolpix 4600 is a typical pocket-sized point and shoot digital camera designed to slip easily into your pocket or small purse. It will be perfect for travelers. The Coolpix 4600 makes things simple for you and gives you greater versatility without compromising your enjoyment of the moment. The camera is easy to use as the camera operates largely under automatic control.
The Nikon Coolpix 4600 digital camera has a 4.0 megapixel resolution (good enough for making sharp prints as large 11×14 inches) with a 3x optical zoom lens (equivalent to a 35-105mm lens on a 35mm camera). It also offers an optical viewfinder and a 1.8 inch LCD monitor for composing your shot.
Key features:
- 4.0 megapixel CCD sensor
- 3x optical zoom
- 1.8-inch LCD
- Optical viewfinder
- Built-in flash
- In-Camera Red-Eye Fix
- White balance
- Built-in mic and speaker
- Movie mode (without sound)
- PictBridge compatibility
- SD memory card compatible
Gone are the days of red-eye pictures. The Nikon Coolpix 4600 digital camera is equipped with Nikon’s exclusive In-Camera Red-Eye Fix. This feature automatically detects and corrects red eyes in most typical circumstances without the need to press buttons or select and highlight the eyes in playback.
In Macro mode, the camera focuses as close as 4.0 centimeters (1.6 inches). The Self-Timer mode provides a 10-second delay between the time the Shutter button is pressed and when the image is actually captured.
The Coolpix 4600 is powered by two AA alkaline batteries. In my opinion, you better consider a set of NiMH rechargeable batteries if you want to use the camera for a long day of shooting. The camera comes with a 14MB internal memory and you better buy a high-capacity memory card to store lots of pictures and videos.
The bottom line on this camera is that the Nikon Coolpix 4600 is an entry level camera packed with lots of powerful features. If you are looking for an easy to use camera for your travel, this camera could be a good choice.
