Nikon Coolpix 4500 Digital Camera

The Nikon Coolpix 4500 looks sturdy in its all-magnesium-alloy metal case. It has a 4.0 megapixel resolution delivering image resolutions as high as 2,272 x 1,704 pixels and a 4x optical zoom lens (equivalent to a 38-152mm lens on a 35mm camera).

An optical viewfinder and a 1.5 inch LCD monitor are available for composing your shot. If you want to save more battery power for an all-day-long shooting, of course, you better use the optical viewfinder rather than the LCD to compose your shot. The Nikon Coolpix 4500 is equipped with a built-in flash that will pop up when needed, and the audio recording capability allows you to dictate memos to match your images.

The Nikon Coolpix 4500 digital camera is an easy to use digital camera even for novice. It has 16 different scene modes–including various portraits and a panorama assist mode–make taking different types of pictures a one-click task.

One thing that I really like about the Nikon Coolpix 4500 is that it’s 4x optical zoom spin on the swivel-lens camera, and the left half of the camera–which houses the lens and flash–can be twisted around 360 degrees, making it simple for you to take pictures in any angles.

Key features:

- 4.0 megapixel CCD sensor

- 4x optical zoom

- 1.5 inch LCD monitor

- Optical viewfinder

- White balance

- Built-in flash

- Movie mode (with sound)

- CompactFlash memory card compatible

Should you buy this camera I recommend buying an extra memory card as the Nikon Coolpix 4500 camera includes only a 16 MB CompactFlash card in the box. This camera uses rechargeable Li-ion EN-EL1 battery for power.
