Nikon Coolpix 4800...a fast 4.0-megapixel digital camera with a powerful and extremely compact 8.3x optical Zoom-Nikkor ED glass lens that provides its user with a zoom range of 36-300mm (35mm equivalent). The Coolpix 4800 weighs in at only 9 oz. making the Coolpix 4800 the most compact 8.3x zoom camera in its class.
The Nikon Coolpix 4800 is a snap-shooter's true companion enabling all types of compositions ranging from true wide-angle scenes to long telephoto shots. Beyond wide and telephoto, the Coolpix 4800 also takes its users extremely close to small subjects with unmatched Macro shooting capabilities at distances less than 1/2 inch. The Coolpix 4800 is a great choice for the sidelines of a soccer game, the top pocket of a travel bag, or for any situation that calls for great pictures and lasting memories.
For a product packed with so many outstanding features, the Coolpix 4800 truly simplifies the picture-taking experience. The Coolpix 4800 offers 15 Scene Modes that adjust the camera to any environmental and lighting situation to give the user the best possible image without the guesswork.
In addition, four of these Scene Modes even come with Scene Assist, a feature that places guidelines directly on the LCD screen, to help users frame their subjects for an ideal image.
The camera also features Nikon's innovative Best Shot Selector (BSS) and Auto-Exposure BSS (AE-BSS) functions, which come in handy during tricky shooting situations. BSS takes up to ten images then selects only the sharpest for recording to memory. AE-BSS automatically selects one from five shots with the best relative exposure.
A high-resolution EVF (Electronic Viewfinder) adds compositional accuracy with a 97% field of view during shooting, and coupled with a large 1.8-inch LCD monitor, is ideal for shooting and viewing of images. All mode dials and controls have been carefully placed to offer easier and more intuitive control.
The camera provides continuous shooting capability for up to 8 images at up to 1.5 frames per second ensuring that users can capture high-speed action sequences. It also offers a convenient three shot buffer function and the innovative Multi-shot function, to snap 16 shots in rapid succession, which are then combined into a single image.
The camera also offers the ability to capture movies with the simultaneous recording of sound, recording TV-size movies at the rate of 15 frames per second. The Voice Memo function allows up to 20 seconds of sound to be added to still images.
For convenience in terms of storage, the Coolpix 4800 uses popular SD memory cards in addition to 13.5 MB of internal memory, which means you're always ready and able to shoot, even when you're not using a memory card. The Coolpix 4800 also allows you to shoot up to 240 images on a single of the camera's rechargeable EN-EL1 Li-ion Battery, or up to 360 images when using an optional 2CR5/DL245 Battery.
