Nikon Coolpix 4300

Easy operation, comfortable ergonomics, and excellent photo quality make the 4-megapixel Nikon Coolpix 4300 an appealing buy for snapshot photographers. But there's more to this camera than simple point-and-shoot functionality, as its long list of features attests. If you like to rely on your camera to take care of the basics but want the flexibility of fine-tuning your photos, this versatile and very reasonably priced model should be on your short list.Retaining the solid build and the comfortable ergonomics of its predecessor, the Coolpix 885, the Coolpix 4300 has really only changed colors. Its silver-plastic body sports turquoise detailing on the grip, and the camera weighs in at a moderate 10.1 ounces with battery and media installed. It's compact enough to let you shoot one-handed, although it's not intended for shirt-pocket portability.
