The Nikon Coolpix 4800 with a 4 megapixel sensor, and an 8.3x optical zoom lens, produces good images, with good colour and saturation, and low purple fringing. The 8.3x optical zoom lens lets you get close to your subject, and has an excellent macro mode. Another bonus is that the camera will just about fit into trouser pockets - something quite rare for ultra zoom cameras. The Nikon is average value for money, as a lot of the competition is cheaper than this camera. I would personally prefer an ultra zoom with image stabilisation, whilst not essential, it’s definitely useful. Despite the lack of image stabilisation I would recommend this camera, especially for someone looking for an easy to use ultra zoom digital camera that will fit in your pocket.

The 4-megapixel Nikon Coolpix 4800 is a surprisingly flexible compact camera for the price ($399.95 list). It’s got a much longer zoom—8.3X optical—than you typically see on a compact camera. That doesn’t quite qualify it as a superzoom (we define superzooms as having 10X or greater optical zoom), but it’s close. The pictures it takes are more than adequate, though we wish they had more snap—and that the camera had antishake capability and a bit more zip. The Nikon Coolpix 4800 may get only average scores on our tests, but it’s hard not to like its powerful zoom. If you’re shopping for a superzoom, consider this camera as well.

The Nikon Coolpix 4800 is a four megapixel digital camera with a 8.3x optical zoom lens. With its extended zoom lens this model is likely to appeal to someone who is looking for more than a standard point and shoot digital camera.

There are a number of preprogrammed scene modes to help you take the best possible picture in differing photographic conditions, but the Coolpix 4800 lacks the manual controls that are a must to any serious photographer.

It is fairly straightforward and you don’t need to be a camera expert to be able to use it and take good pictures.

The Nikon Coolpix 4800 is a mid-range 4megapixel camera designed for the user who wants something a bit more impressive than a pocket compact but doesn’t want to go to the expense of buying a full-spec semi-pro model such as the CoolPix 8800. With a comparatively low street price, the 4800 offers a tempting specification and seemingly good value for money. It shares many of the features of the 3200, 4200 and 5200, and from a distance even looks vaguely similar, but it is physically much larger than its stable mates, measuring 106 x 66 x 54mm against 88 x 60 x 37mm for the 5200. It’s also a lot heavier, weighing 295g with battery and card, against the 5200’s 180g.
