Nikon Coolpix 4500 Digital Camera Sample Photos and Specifications

I bought one of these cameras brand new. My first good digital camera, it was put to immediate use. Image quality was excellent for a 4-megapixel camera, and I still use it off and on. I often used it entire afternoons, shooting away until either the memory card or the battery quit. Taking a number of images in a row could make its little digital brain quite hot, and I learned to take along a spare battery. This camera's continuing strong point is the split body and its excellent lens and metering, allowing noiseless photography in spaces where folks would normally complain about a camera. Alas, while playing with my dog during a download, we snagged the USB cable and the camera was hurtled to the ground leaving it permanently damaged. While it still works, the zoom buttons are now broken and the USB socket is totalled. This means I have to put the card in another camera body for downloading. Still a good unit.
