Nikon COOLPIX 4300 Digital Camera [4MP 3xOptical]

Product Information

Turn it on, and the camera is ready to shoot in a moderately fast 4 seconds; its shot-to-shot time for JPEGs is about 3 seconds. Inevitably, given its robust nature with its square-ish edges and visible screws, the Nikon Coolpix W300 is chunkier than your average point-and-shoot compact of yore.

Given that I like LCD monitors to be as close to 100 percent accuracy as possible, the Coolpix 4300's LCD monitor performs well here, but the optical viewfinder leaves a good bit to be desired. Resolution is high, with strong detail in the embroidery of the blue robe, as well as in the beaded necklaces and flower garland.To stand out a subject, getting close to a subject as much as possible and then taking a shot are a tip for a success. But don't let the simple layout fool you--the Coolpix 4300 offers many more settings that are tucked away in well-structured menus. The focal length of the COOLPIX 4300 is equivalent to 38 - 115mm in the 135-type film camera although the real focal length thereof is 8 - 24mm, so the ratio of the screen size is 4. In general though, you can evaluate detail in the bricks, shingles and window detail, and in the tree branches against the sky.

This means that users can view their photos and videos with a wide angle of visibility, making it easier to compose shots and navigate through menus. The Coolpix 4300's optical viewfinder is very tight, showing only about 81 percent of the frame at wide angle, and about 79 percent at telephoto. The reddish cast of the Daylight setting gives the blue background purplish tints that aren't in the original image, and produces purplish tints in the deep shadows of the blue robe.
