Camera OverviewNikon Coolpix 4800

The Nikon COOLPIX 4800 is a point-and-shoot compact camera built around a 4MP sensor with a 1/2.5 inch sensor size, capable of capturing images at a maximum resolution of 2288x1712 pixels. It targets casual photographers who want a straightforward shooting experience without the complexity of interchangeable lens systems. The camera uses contrast detection autofocus and pairs it with an electronic viewfinder for composing shots.

For reviewing images in the field, there is a 1.8 inch LCD display with a resolution of 118,000 pixels. ISO sensitivity runs from 50 to 400, giving some flexibility between low-light and bright-light shooting conditions. Video capture tops out at 640x480, suitable for basic clip recording.

Storage is handled via SD cards, and the camera connects to a computer via USB. The battery is a lithium-ion type. There is no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connectivity, and no image stabilization — either optical or digital — is present in this model.

Weather sealing is not provided. For buyers looking at vintage or entry-level compact digital cameras from the early 2000s era, the COOLPIX 4800 represents a no-frills option with fundamental point-and-shoot functionality.
