Amazon.com Product Description

The Nikon Coolpix 4600 digital camera features a 4-megapixel CCD, a 3x optical zoom through a high-quality Zoom-Nikkor lens, and long battery life using convenient AA-size batteries. Plus, with Nikon's exclusive In-Camera Red-Eye Fix, red eyes may be a thing of the past. Nikon's renowned In-Camera Red-Eye Fix technology automatically detects and corrects red eyes in most typical situations without the need to press buttons or select and highlight the eyes in playback.

The Nikon Coolpix 4600's In-Camera Red-Eye Fix

The Nikon Coolpix 4600's In-Camera Red-Eye Fix technology automatically detects and corrects red eyes in most typical situations.
Nikon's exclusive new D-Lighting feature is another new addition that can turn throwaway shots into frame-able memories. The D-Lighting feature can be selected in Playback mode, automatically compensating for insufficient flash or excessive back lighting in order to obtain balanced exposure throughout the frame. The Coolpix 4600 is also equipped with Blur Warning, another feature unique to Nikon, which alerts the user when a shot is compromised by camera or hand shake, allowing another shot to be taken before leaving the scene.

The Coolpix 4600 is also phenomenally easy to use. In fact, it's been designed to appeal not only to beginners of all ages, but also to people who've never even considered buying a digital camera before. With a redesigned graphical user interface (GUI) that lets the user navigate functions by either menu item list or icon, it enables the beginner to find the right mode at the right moment to achieve the best results, time after time. Furthermore, with a handy new Help button that displays a description for each selected function on the main menu, the process has been made easier than ever before.

The Nikon Coolpix 4600's D-Lighting

The 4600's D-Lighting feature allows in-camera compensation for uneven lighting.
The camera also features a large, bright 1.8-inch LCD screen, making it easy to compose shots and view recorded images at any time. It's been designed to consume much less power, making it possible to take almost twice as many images when using regular AA alkaline batteries.

Like its predecessors, the Coolpix 4600 also features Scene Modes, which allow the camera to adjust to the most typical shooting environments--Sunset, Fireworks, Indoor, Portrait, etc.--with the turn of a dial. The Coolpix 4600 and 5600 also feature an entirely new Scene Mode, Underwater Mode, which produces more satisfying, true-to-life colors when using the optional WP-CP3 waterproof case (case not included--must be purchased separately) to shoot scenes while snorkeling or scuba diving to a depth of up to 130 feet. This exciting new addition increases the number of Scene Modes to 16.

Creative snap-shooters have the option of five Color Options, including sepia tone, black-and-white, and even cyanotype, to change the entire look and feel of a shot. The 4600 also has 14MB of internal memory, allowing images to be recorded without additional memory media.

The Coolpix 4600 also makes it easy to capture action in an expressive manner with movie-shooting capabilities. It offers a choice of three simplified Movie Modes--TV, Small, and Smaller. (Movies are recorded without sound.) It can also be easily connected to a TV through the included video cable, to share the fun with friends and family.

The Nikon Coolpix 4600 digital camera makes the entire digital process more convenient. Its PictBridge compatibility makes it possible to print directly to a printer without the need for a PC. For those who enjoy organizing and sharing their photographs on a computer, Nikon Coolpix cameras ship with Nikon's proprietary PictureProject software, a user-friendly photo-management software designed expressly for use by Nikon Coolpix photographers, that offers a broad selection of cataloguing, editing, and sharing functions. This software package is aimed at providing a central location that is simple, intuitive, and seamless for Coolpix digital photographers.

not bad when it's working but breaks down easily and soon.......2007-09-08

I had this camera for about 5 months when the lens jammed. I thought the camera was a goner but eventually I was able to fix it myself. About 6 months after that I wasn't as lucky. I got the dreaded error message. The screen of death hasn't disappeared since, no mater how many times I try to troubleshoot the camera.

When the camera was in working condition, it was pretty decent. The pictures are pretty good. Not remarkable, but sufficient for a novice. The video is very poor quality - grainy and remember there is no sound, so a lot of the tings that you want to videotape are going to be useless taped with this camera.

If I was certain that my camera's death was one instance out of many, I'd even go as far as to recommend this camera to others, but from what I had read over the Internet, this is a common problem for Nikon 4600. Do yourself a favor and buy another camera, if you want it to last to its two-year anniversary.

Camera quit working 1 week past warranty.......2007-07-27

I bought the Coolpix 4600 camera for my daughter for Christmas. It worked fairly well for the first year. A week after the warranty was up, the camera would no longer turn on. Doing a search on the web, I found it is a common problem with this camera. Buyer Beware!

Very Displeased.......2007-07-09

I owned a Coolpix 4200 and was very pleased, it was a great camera, was out at Caye Calker and lost it there. I went and bought this Coolpix 4600, and boy was i sorry, i had 2 Nikons before and really believed in the company, but that was until i bought the 4600. Taking pictures with flash is a big joke, u miss your best moments waiting for the flash to be ready again, it takes forever trying to get the camera to focus in most modes. Was at my little girls graduation and got so frustrated trying to get it to focus to take a pic of her receiving her certificate. I almost smashed it. Very bad production by Nikon. They really need to do a recall or something. The Coolpix 4600 sucks big time and i wont recomend it to anybody.

had it's fair share of life... .......2007-05-26

I got this camera as a Christmas present back in 2005, I believe. First... to respond to people complaining about how long the flash takes after you take a picture; After you take the picture, push the "playback" button and it shortens the time dramatically for the flash to re-load, and it goes straight to the picture. Also, BUY RE-CHARGEABLE batteries. For those who think simple AA batteries are going to last are just plain silly. It doesn't take that much common sense to realize that is all it takes. And that goes for MOST digital camera's. Just think of how much power these little machine's are using!

I really, really enjoyed my camera while it lasted. However, after the first time I ever dropped it (about 5 months after having it), it was never the same. I dropped it as the lens was fully zoomed out, and the "flaps" that cover the lens broke off, and the outer lens was cracked. Thankfully, it was put back together. Although the "flaps" were gone, it still worked fine. It just made funny noises when it was on. Many of the pictures I took with this camera came out very professional looking, and I was very pleased. I took it everywhere with me, and I loved it while it lasted. After a couple more drops, the battery cover will not go back down all the way- even tho it can still turn on, the strap loop has broken off, the area around my zoom button is cracked, and the entire camera won't go back together fully.

However, after all of this trauma.. it still held up! It was just earlier this year, when I brought it to Florida with me that it reached it's final days. I was hiking, and taking pictures as I went along, and all of a sudden, I took a picture and there were extreme bright, white lines across the picture. It looked like a very over exposed picture, like I had mistakingly put it on the wrong setting. Unfortunately, there was no fixing this. :( I have figured that something has been knocked off balance after being dropped so much, and it finally stopped working at it's full potential. Ironically enough, I can still take pictures inside with the flash, and get decent pictures. With a little bit of help from paintshop or photoshop, I have been lucky enough to fix some pictures.

At this point, the camera is absolutely useless. It saddens me because I had a lot of great luck with this camera. As a photographer, I couldn't complain about the way my pictures came out. It really depends on how you take them and if you can work the camera right. The settings and menu are pretty easy to navigate, the buttons are in the right spots (for me at least), and I could hold this camera in my hand for hours and it'd never get uncomfortable.

The Pro's:
- when the vivid color option is used, the camera delivers some beautiful, vibrant colors. Especially blues!!
-decent size LCD screen
-easy to use buttons and menu
-good quality pictures when put on the right settings
-comfortable fit in your hand, or jeans pocket

The Con's:
-cheap, plasticy feel to the camera. Especially with no batteries in it!
-the strap loop was the cheapest thing on the camera
-very, very bright flash which made it hard to get pictures the first time around. by the 3rd flash (red-eye reduction flash), people would move or squint, etc...
-flimsy "flap" that covered the lens, could be improved because it broke off instantly when I first dropped it.

I'd recommend this camera to anyone who needs a simple, easy to use camera. Mine didn't last as long as I wish it would have, but it was fun while it did. I wish it were $72 when I wanted to buy it!! If you do buy it, just be sure to take care of it... try not to drop it because it will never be the same if you do!!

Nice try, but not even close to what a camrea should be.......2007-05-19

This camera has plenty of user friendly features and a pretty simple and intuitive interface and takes a descent quality picture. Thats where the fun ends. The flash takes numerous seconds to recharge which can be quite annoying if your trying to catch something or if you don't have 15-30 seconds to wait around after each shot. The Battery life is 2-3 uses when using the flash which is just nuts, you need to keep a 12 pack of AA's handy if you shoot with this camera. I've also on three occasions taken a large number of photographs only to find they were not there when I went to offload them from the memory card. The camera would act like it was taking the shot, even to the point where it would warn of blurry shots and then the photos were just nowhere to be found. look elsewhere for a better camera

Malfunctioned Soon After Purchase.......2007-01-11

After using the camera for about 1 month, it stopped working. It's completely dead. The bigger problem is that there will not be another camera in stock for 2 months!!
Another family member has the Coolpix 4100 and we feel the 4600 is inferior to that model.

Nikon Camera.......2007-01-09

I thoroughly enjoy using this nikon camera. I tend to drop things sometimes and the one part came out slightly when I dropped it. This does not affect the quality or use of the camera it just looks slightly broken.

perfect for teens.......2007-01-04

This camera is easy to use and a perfect camera for my teen daughter.

A Good Deal on the Solid Little Camera.......2006-11-04

I bought this Nikon Coopix 4600 reconditioned camera as a little gift for someone who otherwise wouldn't have a digital camera. She was delighted. Everything works as advertised and it is an easy to use and easy to learn camera. She couldn't be happier.

Customer Reviews:

Broken...again!.......2007-03-23

As others have reviewed my unit's TV screen went blank just a couple weeks out of warranty. Sent it to Audiovox and was charged for repair. One year later the screen has broken again.
Very poor quality for what we paid. Horrible warranty.
Would not recommend this. Go for the Sony!

Huge disappointment.......2005-12-22

I have had nothing but issues with this product. The screen displays is washed out and the adjustment controls are too limited to fix this. The DVD player constantly skips. The radio antenna is a waste of time. It doesn't pick up anything but the strongest signals and even then with some static. I was leary of an Audiovox product, but wanted the larger screen. My opinion is to forget the extra inch and get the Sony.

Do not buy from Audiovox.......2005-11-24

This TV broke in the first two weeks I owned it. Both the picture and audio would not work. I brought it to a local repair shop that could not fix it - I called the company and was just outside of their 90 day warranty and they did nothing for me.

I would never buy from them again.

Unit failed at 4 months.......2005-11-09

I like the picture and size of the unit. The sound is a little tinny. Biggest problem is short warranty period. My unit failed after 4 months of occassional use and Audiovox said "too bad it is out of warranty." Maybe they know there is a problem and do not or cannot fix. 90 days for a $400 TV is way too short.

Great TV/DVD/CD.......2005-11-06

I really do like this TV/DVD/CD, but I was disappointed with the radio. Maybe the location of the unit is not optinimal, but I don't get very many stations in good, most have static. I do live on Long Island, not too far from the city, so there are alot of radio stations, and I can usually pick up many without static, but not on this unit. The TV works perfectly, so does the DVD and CD. Its very easy to use. The picture is fantastic, and the TV screen swivels in any direction, which is really nice. The screen is also a nice size, easy to see from anywhere in my kitchen. The only other thing that's a pain is the screen's locked postion faces the counter rather than facing up so it's harder to keep clean. But overall, I really am happy with the TV and I do recommeded it.
