Camera OverviewNikon Coolpix 4100

The Nikon COOLPIX 4100 is a compact point-and-shoot digital camera built around a 1/2.5-inch sensor delivering 4MP resolution and a maximum photo output of 2272x1704 pixels. Designed for straightforward everyday photography, it keeps things accessible with a contrast detection autofocus system and a 1.6-inch LCD display with 80,000 dots for composing and reviewing shots. An optical tunnel viewfinder is also included, giving shooters an alternative framing option beyond the rear screen.

Video capability extends to 640x480 resolution, covering basic motion capture needs. The camera runs on 2x AA batteries, with NiMH cells recommended, making power management simple and convenient since standard batteries are widely available when traveling or on the go. Storage uses SD cards, which remain easy to source.

Connectivity includes USB for transferring images to a computer, though there is no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. The body measures 88 x 65 x 38 mm and weighs 190g, making it genuinely pocketable. There is no image stabilization of any kind, and weather sealing is absent.

For collectors, students, or those seeking a no-frills digital camera experience, the COOLPIX 4100 represents a clean, compact package with clearly defined capabilities.
