Optics and Resolution
The Coolpix 4100 has a maximum resolution of 4 megapixels for 2288 x 1712 images--good enough for print enlargements up to 20 x 30 inches. It also has three lower resolution modes: 1600 x 1200 (2 MP), 1024 x 768 (SVGA), and 640 x 480 (VGA). The high-quality 3x optical Zoom-Nikkor lens has a focal range of 5.8-17.4mm (35-105mm, 35mm photography equivalent).

More Features
The exclusive Nikon In-Camera Red-Eye Fix function analyzes image data and corrects typical instances of red-eye in less than 3 seconds. It's activated when the camera is set to the red eye reduction flash mode, where a the typical pre-flash first minimizes red eye effect. The camera then analyzes the picture using powerful image processing and analysis technology, which is completely automatic and transparent.

The Coolpix 4100 features 15 specially programmed modes to automatically handle focus, exposure, white balance and other adjustments that help you take great pictures at the press of a button. Four scene modes (Portrait, Night Portrait, Landscape, and Sports) come with Scene Assist, which offer a selection of easy framing assist options to help you compose your pictures with the assistance of framing guides displayed in the monitor.

In addition to storing images in the built-in 14.5 MB memory, the Coolpix 4100 is also compatible with Secure Digital (SD) and MultiMedia (MMC) memory cards. It transfers images to Macs and Windows-based PCs via a USB 1.1 connection.

3 out of 5 stars not so great, even for everyday photos   December 9, 2008
Anna L. Breininger
I've had this camera for quite some time and have never been able to get it working quite right. It's only pro I've found so far is that it takes very nice outdoor photos. If you're using inside, for action shots or for anything with straight edges you don't want slightly warped, move on and find a different camera.
When using the flash, the lens is delayed so any indoor shot have to be of completely inanimate objects. No parties, no kids, no pets. If you're not using the flash be prepared for the shot to be blurry, discoloured or grainy. I've also tried to use the camera to photograph some of my artwork and anything with square edges comes out slightly bowed in the photo.



1 out of 5 stars Good gift for a teen's first digital camera... but not for a photography lover   December 12, 2007
Peabody (Nowhere, USA)
If paying under $75.00, go ahead and get it... and know that you're getting for a $75.00 camera.

Positives: it has a lot of features to alter the tint of the photos, has simple on-camera photo editing, red-eye reduction, good zoom, etc. All the very basic essentials you need. And a descent little working camera if you don't pay to much.

Negatives: The flash is way to bright for most subjects and bleaches our the foreground easily (i had to tape a tissue over my flash), has a MAJOR tendency to be extremely blurry if you opt not to use the ridiculously bright flash, gives indoor (using flash) photos a plastic, shadow-less, unnatural look, has a Looonnggg delay after you press the shutter (you WILL miss most your shots by 2 seconds), you must hold it EXTREMELY steady on some settings to produce a half-way decent non-blurred picture, many of the settings don't do what they claim (for example, the 'fireworks' setting has never got me decent photos of fireworks-- they are always blurred, way too dark, and the shutter button delay causes you to miss the explosion every time).

Don't buy this if youre looking for a nice aesthetic (tone, shadow, etc) to your shots or quick camera response. Do get it if you need something to mess around with or aren't picky about picture quality. This would probably be a great gift for a child or young teen who would love his/her first digital camera-- its simple to figure out, has the basic features, lots of settings to play with, and cheap.



4 out of 5 stars Love my 4100   June 8, 2007
Tom Sawyer (NJ/NY)
I've had the Nikon Coolpix 4100 for about 2 years and I have to say that I love it. At this point I'm familiar with its many modes and have experimented with taking different kinds of pictures and different situations. It has turned me into an ansul adams! This is my first digital camera and I have never enjoyed taking pictures this much.

Two gripes: the LCD screen is small by today's standards which makes it hard to see your picture. There is a noticeable lag between pictures, where you have to wait for the camera to ready itself before you can take the next picture. This isn't always a problem unless you take a lot of pictures of subjects in motion.



2 out of 5 stars Very slow camera.   April 19, 2006

Picture quality is excellent, especially for a 4 mp camera. The problem is, even with a high speed (80x) SD card installed it takes 5-6 seconds for the picture to save; even when taking low res pictures (that doesn't sound like much unless you consider the millisecond that a kid is able to hold still and look at the camera). When I researched SD cards, I discovered that a high speed card, should be able to transfer data at 8-10 megs a second so I'm not sure why the 4100 is only able to transfer 1/2 a meg per second.
Nikon support states that the test camera they have there also saves at that rate.
My Dad's 5 mp HP camera saves pictures in less than 2 seconds :(



2 out of 5 stars Poor customer service   January 14, 2006

This was a great little camera until the screen turned blck, and looked like it was shattered. We sent it in to the dealer, hoping to have it replaced as it was under warranty. They would not honor the warranty, and said Labor costs would be 180.00, plus 12.00 shipping, plus almost 8.00 tax for the repair!!! (Almost as much as the camera cost).... After many emails back and forth, they could only offer 20% 'good will' discount. We were very disappointed that they would not try to do more to keep a satisfied customer. We will never buy another Nikon.
