The Nikon Coolpix 4800 is one of the latest in a long line of Coolpix digital cameras whose popularity stretches back to the original Coolpix 900, Nikon's original "breakthrough" digicam. While Nikon is best known for exceptional high-end cameras and optics, in recent years, they've turned increasing attention to the needs of ordinary people, rather than exclusively those of the enthusiast crowd. The Coolpix 4800 extends the consumer-oriented portion of Nikon's line into the long-zoom arena, with a combination of a four-megapixel CCD and a high quality 8.3x optical zoom lens. At the same time, it carries forward the user-interface innovations we've seen in other recent Coolpix models, including an expansive set of scene modes and unique "framing assist" modes.
