Quick Take: The Nikon Coolpix 4600 sits at the bottom of Nikon's x600 product line, the Nikon Coolpix 5600 sits right above it, and the Coolpix 7600 occupies the top spot. With the exception of the extra megapixel--the 4600 has 4 and the 5600 has 5--the first two models are identical. In addition to its 7-megapixel resolution, the 7600 has a better lens with ED glass elements (which makes it a bit heavier, as well) and face-priority autofocus mode. Different lenses and/or sensors will result in different photo quality across models.

    Summary: The Coolpix 4600 and 5600 use two AA batteries. Nikon includes two alkaline batteries with the cameras, which will quickly find their way into the trash. I highly recommend picking up a four-pack of NiMH rechargeables (2300 mAh or greater) which will ...
