Product Description
The COOLPIX 4600 has been designed to make things simple for you and give you greater versatility without compromising your enjoyment of the moment. The COOLPIX 4600 features 16 handy Scene modes, four of which offer a Scene Assistance function. These user-friendly modes automatically control camera settings, enabling you to achieve high-quality results with subjects that range from sunsets to underwater. The COOLPIX 4600 stands apart from other cameras in its class with its handy ability to automatically improve the quality of recorded shots with the touch of a button. Nikon's exclusive D-Lighting function, for example, can be selected in Playback mode - automatically compensating for insufficient flash or excessive back lighting in order to obtain balanced exposure throughout the frame. Nikon's proprietary Advanced Red-eye Reduction, on the other hand, automatically detects and corrects red eyes in-camera in most situations. With a high-quality 3x optical Zoom-Nikkor lens and 4x digital zoom, the COOLPIX 4600 gives you a high degree of control over the way you compose your shots.
Amazon.com Product Description
The Nikon Coolpix 4600 digital camera features a 4-megapixel CCD, a 3x optical zoom through a high-quality Zoom-Nikkor lens, and long battery life using convenient AA-size batteries. Plus, with Nikon's exclusive In-Camera Red-Eye Fix, red eyes may be a thing of the past. Nikon's renowned In-Camera Red-Eye Fix technology automatically detects and corrects red eyes in most typical situations without the need to press buttons or select and highlight the eyes in playback.  | | The Nikon Coolpix 4600's In-Camera Red-Eye Fix technology automatically detects and corrects red eyes in most typical situations. |
Nikon's exclusive new D-Lighting feature is another new addition that can turn throwaway shots into frame-able memories. The D-Lighting feature can be selected in Playback mode, automatically compensating for insufficient flash or excessive back lighting in order to obtain balanced exposure throughout the frame. The Coolpix 4600 is also equipped with Blur Warning, another feature unique to Nikon, which alerts the user when a shot is compromised by camera or hand shake, allowing another shot to be taken before leaving the scene. The Coolpix 4600 is also phenomenally easy to use. In fact, it's been designed to appeal not only to beginners of all ages, but also to people who've never even considered buying a digital camera before. With a redesigned graphical user interface (GUI) that lets the user navigate functions by either menu item list or icon, it enables the beginner to find the right mode at the right moment to achieve the best results, time after time. Furthermore, with a handy new Help button that displays a description for each selected function on the main menu, the process has been made easier than ever before.  | | The 4600's D-Lighting feature allows in-camera compensation for uneven lighting. |
The camera also features a large, bright 1.8-inch LCD screen, making it easy to compose shots and view recorded images at any time. It's been designed to consume much less power, making it possible to take almost twice as many images when using regular AA alkaline batteries. Like its predecessors, the Coolpix 4600 also features Scene Modes, which allow the camera to adjust to the most typical shooting environments--Sunset, Fireworks, Indoor, Portrait, etc.--with the turn of a dial. The Coolpix 4600 and 5600 also feature an entirely new Scene Mode, Underwater Mode, which produces more satisfying, true-to-life colors when using the optional WP-CP3 waterproof case (case not included--must be purchased separately) to shoot scenes while snorkeling or scuba diving to a depth of up to 130 feet. This exciting new addition increases the number of Scene Modes to 16. Creative snap-shooters have the option of five Color Options, including sepia tone, black-and-white, and even cyanotype, to change the entire look and feel of a shot. The 4600 also has 14MB of internal memory, allowing images to be recorded without additional memory media. The Coolpix 4600 also makes it easy to capture action in an expressive manner with movie-shooting capabilities. It offers a choice of three simplified Movie Modes--TV, Small, and Smaller. (Movies are recorded without sound.) It can also be easily connected to a TV through the included video cable, to share the fun with friends and family. The Nikon Coolpix 4600 digital camera makes the entire digital process more convenient. Its PictBridge compatibility makes it possible to print directly to a printer without the need for a PC. For those who enjoy organizing and sharing their photographs on a computer, Nikon Coolpix cameras ship with Nikon's proprietary PictureProject software, a user-friendly photo-management software designed expressly for use by Nikon Coolpix photographers, that offers a broad selection of cataloguing, editing, and sharing functions. This software package is aimed at providing a central location that is simple, intuitive, and seamless for Coolpix digital photographers.

 Problems everywhere April 26, 2008
The camera works fine until you realize that the batteries are down and you change them and still never starts again. Also is very slow when you turn it on (before not been able to turn it again of course) and takes forever to save the pics.
Size and weight are prefect and the pictures you take are wonderful, but I think there are more "downs" than "ups" with this product...
 great really small cam April 17, 2008
i like this cam perfect for travel ,nice shooting cam,even night time,holds little space which is plus for travelers, battery long lasting, a++++ ,and its cheap what would you want of small cam like this :) :) :)
 not bad when it's working but breaks down easily and soon September 8, 2007
I had this camera for about 5 months when the lens jammed. I thought the camera was a goner but eventually I was able to fix it myself. About 6 months after that I wasn't as lucky. I got the dreaded error message. The screen of death hasn't disappeared since, no mater how many times I try to troubleshoot the camera.
When the camera was in working condition, it was pretty decent. The pictures are pretty good. Not remarkable, but sufficient for a novice. The video is very poor quality - grainy and remember there is no sound, so a lot of the tings that you want to videotape are going to be useless taped with this camera.
If I was certain that my camera's death was one instance out of many, I'd even go as far as to recommend this camera to others, but from what I had read over the Internet, this is a common problem for Nikon 4600. Do yourself a favor and buy another camera, if you want it to last to its two-year anniversary.
Camera quit working 1 week past warranty July 27, 2007
I bought the Coolpix 4600 camera for my daughter for Christmas. It worked fairly well for the first year. A week after the warranty was up, the camera would no longer turn on. Doing a search on the web, I found it is a common problem with this camera. Buyer Beware!
Very Displeased July 9, 2007
I owned a Coolpix 4200 and was very pleased, it was a great camera, was out at Caye Calker and lost it there. I went and bought this Coolpix 4600, and boy was i sorry, i had 2 Nikons before and really believed in the company, but that was until i bought the 4600. Taking pictures with flash is a big joke, u miss your best moments waiting for the flash to be ready again, it takes forever trying to get the camera to focus in most modes. Was at my little girls graduation and got so frustrated trying to get it to focus to take a pic of her receiving her certificate. I almost smashed it. Very bad production by Nikon. They really need to do a recall or something. The Coolpix 4600 sucks big time and i wont recomend it to anybody.
