Bottom line - Aimed toward the beginner and intermediate user, it offers terrific images without having to fuss with complicated settings. Its 4-megapixel Fine images have plenty of resolution to create photo-quality prints up to 8x10-inch, or cropped pri

The Nikon Coolpix 4600 is a compact, stylish and easy-to-use point and shoot digital camera. The scene modes are both numerous and advanced in their implementation and will really help the beginner, and the in-built help system, although limited, will...

High saturation on bright colors, but good handling of skin tones. Pleasing color overall, Excellent macro capability, flash works well up close too, Manual white balance option handles a very wide range of lighting conditions, Better than average...

Limited low-light exposure capability, Poor low-light autofocus performance, no AF-assist lamp, Auto white balance leaves too much color cast in shots under household incandescent lighting, Ships with only 14MB internal memory, definitely need to buy a...

Good photo quality ; Compact body feels solid for the price ; Tons of scene modes ; Useful D-Lighting, Best Shot Selector, redeye reduction features ; Good redeye test results (probably due to above) ; In-camera help system (though it could be better)...

Poor low light focusing / no AF-assist lamp ; LCD doesn't "gain up" very much in low light ; Only 14MB on built-in memory ; VGA movie mode isn't really VGA; only the Coolpix 5600 records sound ; Sluggish flash recharge time ; Manual controls would've...

While both cameras are decent and earn my recommendation, here's what I'd do: skip both the 4600 and 5600 and get the Coolpix 5900 instead. While I haven't completed my review of that camera yet, I found it to be much better in many areas, most notably...

Narrow ISO range ; Slow flash recovery time ; Limited manual settings ; Video recording that doesn't include audio

One bright spot is the camera's macro mode. We produced some excellent close-up shots using the macro-focus indicator. The macro icon changes from white to blue when the zoom is within the proper focus range. Note: The manual says the icon changes to...

Low price ; Easy to use ; Strong colours

Disappointing indoors

Much better outdoors than in the Nikon Coolpix 4600 offers decent value for money if you are looking for a standard point and shoot model.

Very good image quality (good colour, contrast, saturation, and detail) ; Quite low noise the majority of the time ; Takes AA batteries ; Advises you when pictures are blurry ; Red-eye reduction works very well ; Very good macro mode ; Custom white...

The Nikon Coolpix 4600, has some very appealing qualities, it's compact size, red-eye reduction, blur warning, lots of scene modes, built in help, a 3x optical zoom lens, a 1.8" screen, a 4 megapixel sensor, and a very good macro mode. Another bonus is...
