    Good Points: The size of the camera itself is very small, and although it is not as slim as some of the newest Canon models, I personally found it easier to use than using a slim camera because it makes it difficult to take pictures when holding the camera with only one hand.
    It is also very user friendly. I did not need to read the instruction booklet, and I figured out most of the functions that are available.
    Surprisingly, when I bought the item off eBay (it was already secondhand), I wasn't aware that it was a Nikon Coolpix 4600 simply because it is incredibly lightweight when no batteries are inside. Even when there are batteries, the weight is still lighter than the average Canon Powershot series. I had used Canon cameras before, and I found them to be heavy.


    Bad Points: It seemed to take a comparatively long time to store the pictures after they were taken, but it improved when using fully charged batteries. Hence, it becomes difficult if you want to capture a series of happenings manually. Also because it automatically increases the shutter time as evening approaches, it becomes more difficult to capture clear pictures in the evening. Some of my sunset photos were beautiful however.


    General comments: I am not sure if the Nikon Coolpix 4600 digital camera is better than a Canon camera, because Nikon cameras, when compared with the Canon camera seemed to have less contrast in the colours of the objects on photos taken. However, they are superior compared with Canon in taking evening pictures such as sunset shots, because they naturally allow the shutter time to increase accordingly. The only bad thing though is that you need a pair of hands, or just one stable hand to make sure that the DC is stable when the shutter is opened.

    My friend who uses a Canon camera simply cannot take beautiful night time pictures, and needs to rely on the flash.
    Even in daytime, when the person has their back facing the sun, Canon cameras CANNOT take the persons face clearly, but need to rely on a flash, which ultimately results in the effect as if the person has been 'key-ed' onto the scene.

    I have owned digital cameras in the past and found them difficult to use and complicated to transfer to my PC. The Nikon Coolpix 4600 is none of these: it is very easy to understand and takes good photos easily, also quite good on batteries compared to my previous cameras, would recommend to anyone, young or old, without hesitation!

    The Nikon Coolpix 4600 digital camera rocks. It outperforms any other camera I have used to date. It can make the worst photographer's pics look like a studio took them. I love all of the features. It has 16 different scene modes alone including firework, panorama for 360 degree pics, snow and beach, and so much more. Many of these settings would cost a ton more on any other camera. It also has all of the cool shooting modes like ones for architecture, and even scenic views with an on screen pat ...

    For the $200 price-range, the Nikon Coolpix 4600 camera is a best buy! Loads of features on this style - multiple scene selection and advanced lighting for an entry camera.

    What really dazzled me was the macro - quality of the 4600, don't expect to find this on other cameras around the same price!

    Superior pictures for an economical price.

    Nikon has did it again, they truly live up to their name for excellence!
