Professional Reviews of the Nikon 4300

  • 4.1 out of 5
An intermediate level camera (Megapixel.net - 4/3/03)

Great image quality and impressive manual results set the Nikon Coolpix 4300 apart, though it loses points for an awkward memory card slot. read original review

  • 4.9 out of 5
Resolution and color rendering are both excellent (Imaging Resource - 4/3/03)

Its excellent image quality and thoughtful selection of manual controls earn the Nikon Coolpix 4300 unhesitant praise from this reviewer. read original review

  • 4.6 out of 5
Superb optical performance (Steve's Digicams - 4/3/03)

A comfortable grip and compact body make the Nikon Coolpix 4300 a snap to carry, and its image quality and optional lens accessories earn high marks from this reviewer, who wished it had an autofocus-assist light for dark conditions. read original review

  • 4.8 out of 5
Excellent photo quality (DC Resource - 4/3/03)

This reviewer is very impressed by the images produced by the Nikon Coolpix 4300 and likes its optional manual controls. Drawbacks include lack of sound in movie mode and no autofocus-assist light. read original review

  • 4 out of 5
Scored the highest (PC World - 4/2/03)

In PC World's photographic tests (conducted 11/02), the Nikon Coolpix 4300 scored higher than any other recent camera. But while image quality is great, the camera's complex controls can be very confusing. read original review
