Advantages: User friendly and reliable.

Disadvantages: If you are a professional photographer I'd give it a miss.

I have been using my Coolpix 4200 for about 3 years now. It is perfect for those who want an easy to use camera with the reliability you would expect from a name like Nikon.

The camera is light weight (about 185g,) but solidly constructed with a metal shell. It has a 35mm X 25mm colour LCD display.

The picture quality is good and the camera's macro facility enables you to get some fantastic close-up images.

The Coolpix 4200 has a useful timer and video recording facility. It also has a selection of pre-set picture modes which help you take perfect shots with the least amount of fuss, (e.g. when taking daylight, portrait, landscape, panoramic and high speed images.) The camera's on-screen menus are also easy to use.

The Coolpix 4200 comes with software to edit and fine-tune your images.

Whilst not for professional photographers, I would highly recommend it for those looking for a compact, reliable camera.

Thanks for reading and rating my review
