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.
