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

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.)
