Advantages: Detailed Photos Disadvantages: Small Screen
The Nikon Coolpix 4300 is the first ever digital camera I bought. At the time I bought the camera I wanted it to be able to take decent photos in all sorts of different light conditions and different situations.

The Nikon Coolpix 4300 is the first ever digital camera I bought. At the time I bought the camera I wanted it to be able to take decent photos in all sorts of different light conditions and different situations.
I was very impressed with this camera when I first bought it as I found that inside the box there wasn't just a camera, there was various different photo programs that came with the camera as well as a few different leads such as a USB cable so you can transfer images from your camera to the computer. One of the first things I felt let down with though was the lack of a memory card. Unfortunately the Nikon Coolpix 4300 does not come with a memory card but that is alright nowadays as you can get large memory cards for as little as £10 if you shop around.
One of the discs in the box is Nikon's own software, this is very useful and one of it's best features is that every time you put images on the computer they are put in separate files so the images don't get muddled up with another set of images. Another piece of software that comes with the camera is quicktime 5 which is a media program for watching videos.
The Nikon Coolpix 4300 also has the ability to capture 40 seconds of video in decent quality but the only problem with this is that there is no microphone on the camera so there is no sound captured whatsoever which is disappointing but it doesn't really matter because I mainly bought this camera for taking pictures. Also if you wanted to use this camera to take videos it can only capture 40 second clips which is rather short so you won't be able to capture much action.
Although the camera only has 4 mega pixels this does not stop the Nikon Coolpix 4300 from taking good pictures. When the images are loaded up onto your PC you will notice that the images have lots of excellent vibrant colours as well as a high resolution for lots of good detail. There are 12 different scene modes on the camera which are very useful especially if you are trying to take pictures in bright light or if your taking pictures of fireworks as the images tend to come out better if a scene mode is selected in these situations.
In the dark the camera uses flash automatically so you don't have to fiddle about with anything but I do find this rather annoying as people usually end up having there eyes closed on these pictures due to the very bright flash. You don't have to stand the perfect distance away to take a photograph with this camera as you can use the zoom in and zoom out buttons to get the picture just right. There are useful features on the camera such as format, this is where you can wipe off all the photos you have taken once you have put them on your computer. There is also a quick view button which you can press to view the pictures you have taken on the small camera screen.
Also you can delete single photos by pressing the delete button on the back of the camera. The camera can also be set to automatic mode so you can set up the image then get in the shot yourself if there is nobody to take the picture or if you all want to get in the shot.
The Nikon Coolpix 4300 has a few bad points: Small Screen – It is sometimes hard to see the pictures on the camera screen as it is so small. No Memory Card – You have to buy a memory card separately. No Case – If you want a little bit of protection or something to carry the camera round in you have to buy it separately. Big/Heavy – Because it is a few years old the camera is quite big and probably won't fit in your pockets, unless you have really big pockets! It also weighs quite a bit and is a bit annoying to carry around.
Apart from the bad points listed above the Nikon Coolpix 4300 is a very good camera that takes good images and can be used in a variety of different situations, it also comes with good software and now that it it is a few years old you can probably pick it up fairly cheaply. I would recommend this digital camera to anyone looking for a new one, especially if it's your first cam.
Advantages: great lens = good image quality, now extremely cheap Disadvantages: now quite old, poor design, out of date features, slow startup, battery flap weak point, bulky
...a good piece of glass, Nikon are a lens company above all else, so they can be trusted to produce excellent lenses. The lens contributes as much, if not more, to image quality than the MP number (above a threshold). The Coolpix 4300 exposes images well and actually takes surprisingly good quality images. To illustrate this, please take a look at the totally unedited pictures I have uploaded that were taken on my holiday to Thailand. I have included ... ...=== Design ===
The Nikon weighs 200g, which is light enough for any bag. The camera looks small enough from the front view, but it is actually quite a lot larger than any of the other compacts in Tesco direct, as it is 2 or 3 times as thick. I actually like this chunky quality makes it a bit more like a SLR to hold, but annoyingly it makes it too wide to fit into my coat pocket. The screen on the back is very tiny compared to current standards (only ...

Advantages: small,light,picture quality,setting range,macro facility Disadvantages: flash recovery time,write to flash card time
I have to be honest - when I was looking for a digitial camera I was primarily after something that had a good macro facility, but this camera proved to be much more than that!

It is a nice light, compact and easy camera to handle. The battery and Compact Flash slots are easy to access. You will find the camera a nice size to shoot photos with, unless you have large hands or thick fingers. The majority ... ...-----------
As I mentioned above - I was primarily after a Digital Camera that had a good macro facility. This one did not dissappoint - as I will go onto below. What I like about this camera though are the 10 or so settings built in that enable quick and efficient change to Night photo, landscape view, macro, portrait etc... Lots of the type of settings that all general camera users would find useful. All are set using the view on the LCD panel. ...

...to wide-angle lenses. But the Nikon 4300 was, and it happened to be on a special sale from the factory - so I bought it directly from Nikon. There was a shortage of the wide-angle lenses, so it took a few weeks to track one down, but I did find one. The price I paid for the camera AND lens was somewhat less than the quoted price here for the camera alone. I was pleasantly surprised that the camera was very easy to use, and amazed at the overall quality ... ...than that of pictures taken by my old Pentax SLR. which was expensive and complicated to use. In addition, the availability pf extra lenses makes this camera quite a bit more versatile than other similar models.
There are several modes for shootong, such as a scene mode and automatic. The camera adapts quite well to available light, and I'm surprised at how infreqently it uses the built-in flash. As mentioned in another review of this camera, the ...

Advantages: Great picture quality, easy uploads, point and shoot, fast battery charging, nice design Disadvantages: Low battery life when flash used
The Nikon 4300 is my first digital camera and I was worried that digital photos would just not hold up quality wise to a 35mm photo, I must say I was immediately amazed at, and impressed with, the picture quality of the Nikon. It is very difficult to take a bad picture with this camera (although it happens on occasion) I also enjoy the super easy upload to my computer. Quick and easy step by step programme. I haven't even read the manual it is so ... ...retail business I have been using it indoors and most often with the flash but you can turn the flash off . The battery dies out very quickly when the flash is used. Fortunately the battery charges quickly, in about one hour. I like the design of the camera, it is chunky but fits the hand well, and looks as cool as the name indicates. But I am very disappointed at the on and off button which feels "cheap" on this not so cheap camera and will probably ...

Advantages: light,cheap,compact,quick,quality images,solid build Disadvantages: small grip,small eye piece
Right - let's get this straight. I am NOT a pro photographer. I have very little experience of photography beyond using cheaper film models and my compact little NikonCoolpix4300. Therefore I am the ideal candidate for a low-end Digitial SLR!
So what does the Canon EOS 350D have to offer an amateur like me? Well several things got me interested in this camera from the outset:
* Price - it is a good budget buy
* Quality - it is 8 megapixels (A3 pictures on highest setting)
* Build - it is of metal construction so should last
* Lenses - there are a large array of lenses for this camera
* Size - this camera is actually quite compact
* General ratings - it consistently scores highly
* Magnification - you get 1.6x the magnification it says on the tin
* Level - you can buy top quality attachments for this camera of professional ...

Advantages: Very small, very light but well made. Superb picture quality. Disadvantages: Pathetic size internal memory - memory card is extra.
I bought this camera to replace a NikonCoolpix4300, which I had damaged!
This camera is much smaller and lighter than my previous Nikon but still feels comfortable in my fairly large hands.
I was a bit annoyed that this camera used a different memory card and battery to my previous one but this was mainly to reduce the overall camera size. I wouldn't like to see cameras getting very much smaller than this - you'll end up like some of the mobile phones where the keypad is almost too small for the human finger to operate.
Comes with a wrist strap, but no case - plenty of Nikon clones for about 25% of Nikon price on eBay.
Lens cap is buit into lens housing, closes when lens retracts - no separate cap to lose.
Nice big clear LCD screen, 4cm X 3cm, with adjustable brightness; and unlike my previous camera, when you look through ...
A compact, lightweight digital still camera with 4.0 effective megapixels and a powerful 3x zoom lens, the COOLPIX 4300 is an easy-to-use mid-range model with superior image quality. The camera's core users include everybody from beginners to advanced amateurs. It is ideal for those who want a high-quality camera that takes exceptional pictures. People seeking a deeper experience with digital photography will be attracted to the COOLPIX 4300's portability and image quality. Superb optical performance, a big part of the COOLPIX 4300's appeal, is delivered via a 3x optical Zoom-Nikkor lens with an 8-24mm focal range (equivalent to 38-114mm in 35mm [135] camera format). Its 4.0 effective megapixels provide ultrahigh definition and, combined with Nikon's advanced image processing technology, ensure images of remarkable color, contrast and clarity. Shooting is further simplified by general-use AUTO mode and 12 different Scene Modes, which allow users to capture the essence of every situation and fully experience the fun and convenience of digital photography. The COOLPIX 4300's compact and lightweight design makes it extremely portable and its ergonomic, easy-grip design ensures easy operation. Managing pictures has never been easier, thanks to features like one-button data transfer and a Small Picture function that configures photos specifically for e-mail and Internet applications. The camera comes equipped with all the accessories necessary to immediately start taking better digital photographs. An array of optional accessories - such as an adapter that accepts Wideangle, Telephoto, Fisheye, and other lenses - will further any photographer's journey into the digital world. With so many features and accessories, and a remarkably easy-to-use design, the COOLPIX 4300 both advances the impact of Nikon's successful COOLPIX line and promises to bring the thrill of digital photography to more people than ever before.
