Nikon Coolpix 4800 Digital Camera

Coolpix 4800 is a high quality compact digital camera combining 4.0 effective megapixel performance, a versatile 8.3x optical Zoom-Nikkor ED glass lens and a range of functions that make operation exceptionally easy.

One of the most distinctive features of the Coolpix 4800 is its powerful 8.3x optical Zoom-Nikkor ED lens. Offering a focal range equivalent to that of a 36-300mm lens in 35mm photography and fast 1.3-second operation across its entire range, it enables all kinds of compositions ranging from wide-angle scenes to close telephoto shots. Within its compact body dimensions, it incorporates one lens with two aspherical surfaces in addition to its two ED glass lens element




Coolpix 4800 Major Features:
4.0-megapixel effective CCD for images up to 2288x1712 pixels
Nikkor ED 8.3x optical zoom with 36-300mm coverage (35mm equivalent)
5-point auto focus with low-light AF-assist illuminator
Macro focus gets you as close as 0.4 in. (1cm)
1.8-inch (118,000 pixels) TFT color LCD
0.44 in. (235,000 pixels), TFT color EVF (Electronic ViewFinder)
Program AE, plus 15 Scene Modes including four with Scene Assist modes
Best Shot Selector (BSS), which helps users achieve better photos
Single, Continuous, 3 shot buffer, Multi-Shot 16 and QuickTime Movie modes
Automatic shutter speeds from 1/2000 sec. to 4 secs.
Built-in flash with auto, fill, cancel, slow sync, and auto with red-eye reduction
256-segment Matrix metering
Auto White Balance with 5 presets and custom
Exif 2.2 and PictBridge compatible
13.5MB internal memory and SD memory card slot
Plug-n-Play USB 2.0 Full Speed connectivity, mass storage compliant
Rechargeable EN-EL1 Li-ion battery and charger included.
Can use disposable 2CR5 lithium batteries




The Coolpix 4800 camera battery uses the good old EN-EL1 lithium-ion battery, which was common on Nikon cameras of days past. The battery has a decent amount of energy -- 5.0 Wh

to be exact -- which translates to 240 shots using the new CIPA battery life standard. That's about average compared to other ultra zoom models. (The current en-el1 battery life king is the Minolta DiMAGE Z10 which can take over 500 shots per charge.)

Canon PowerShot G9

Canon PowerShot G9 replaces the PowerShot G7, which was a disappointment compared to previous models.It is a high-end fixed-lens camera offering almost every feature you could imagine. It takes care of many of the issues that people had with the G7, with the most notable change -- the addition of RAW image support. However, the rotating LCD that made the G-series famous is still nowhere to be found.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T50

Sony's Cyber-shot DSC-T50 is an update to the existing DSC-T30 model. Both cameras include the same image-stabilized 3x optical zoom lens, branded with the famous Carl Zeiss name and coupled with a 7.2 effective megapixel CCD imager. The most significant difference between the existing camera and the Sony T50 is the addition of touch-screen capability to the large 3.0" LCD display. (We're currently awaiting clarification as to whether this has changed the camera's overall weight, and if so by how much). Noise reduction in the Sony DSC-T50 has also been adjusted, and now operates at exposures 1/6th of a second or longer (formerly this was 1/25th of a second or longer). The Cyber-shot T50's built-in flash memory capacity falls by two megabytes to 56MB, the "Candle" scene mode swapped for a "High Sensitivity" mode, and a new "Normal" slideshow mode has been added. Finally, the Sony DSC-T50's bundled software has been changed to Picture Motion Browser v1.1.




Power is supplied to the camera by a Sony T50 Lithium battery (NP-FR1). Sony estimates that you should be able to take around 400 shots before the battery needs to recharged.

A generous 56mb of storage is built into the camera. I was able to take a respectable 20 shots before the memory became full. This is enough to test the DSC T50 out, but before you do any serious picture taking you will need a larger memory card. The camera is compatible with Memory Stick Duo and Memory Stick Duo Pro cards.

to date, although it’s not a great leap from the 8.1 Megapixels of its predecessor. Along
with slightly higher resolution, Sony’s also increased the sensitivity range from 80-800 to
