"many options you can use for this camera. like black and white photos, color photos, etc. also has a recording function., picture takes about 2 seconds to take so no one can move during that time. there are different settings for each different type of picture you could take. all in all, its a good camera, with good quality. "

    "I have a digital camera from 6 years ago. Its big and bulky and I wanted a small digital camera to keep in my purse to be up on the pictures with the kids. This camera is excellent. There is a delay when the flash goes off indoors between pictures. The pictures are wonderful. The camera is small, lightweight and easy to use. There are many features I have not even tried yet, but the overall usage is awesome. My husband bought it for me for my birthday and I couldn't ask for a better gift. I would give this as a gift in a heartbeat! I love it! I put lithium batteries in it at the beginning of October when I got it. Its been 30 days and I have taken about 100 photos, indoors and outdoors and the batteries are still going strong!! GOOD BUY!!! "

    "well, heres what i wanted. a small camera, very small camera (i have a gateway dv-s20, it's smaller than deck decks of cards). i wanted something that would take great closeup shots. i wanted something that took at least 3 megapixels. i wanted something that had auto flash and auto focus capabilites. something with an optical zoom.
most of all, i wanted something around $200.

this is what i came up with.
whats good about it:
good battery life (i use it everyday and i'm on the included batteries still)
small, very pocketable
easy as pie to use
flash doesn't destroy every picture
takes nice closeup shots
bright display
picture review navigation is easy to use
picture review incorporates zoom and cut and resize functions
zoom is great and easy to use
awesome in low light conditions
cool red reduction flash
many many built in photo types (scene, portrait...all have several types within)
press the button half way to autofocus and see if it will need a flash
self timer is easy to use
BSS - best shot selector helps you take great pics
quick startup time
built in shutdown after set time

things i don't like:
indoor lighting makes the lcd look junky (pictures turn out ok, but the lcd screen shows off a bunch of random colored fragments - covered in manual, nothing to worry about)
i can't cut any of the pictures off of the internal memory (meaning, you can't cut or delete pics from the internal memory using windows explorer because they are copy protected, this means you have to go and manually delete them on the camera)
the flash isn't all that great when it's really dark and you want to shoot of pic of something more than 10 feet away (understandable)
the flash takes longer than expected to refresh sometimes up to 7 seconds - with scene-underwater because it's the brightest flash)
port on side for usb connector seems flimsy
BSS does not support a flash
action shot 16 doesn't use a flash
it's easy to blur a shot sometimes if you don't have the correct settings
a little heavier than expected
small internal memory (14mb)
no audio recorded with movies (who cares though, it's a camera, not a camcorder)
all in all, you should read the manual to get the most out of this one. it's excellent for anyone.

    "I bought one of these cameras for a friend of mine as a gift. I bought it only after doing a lot of research and reading a lot of interviews and the reviews were all just stellar. No one mentioned any drawbacks! Well the buyer needs to know a few things about this camera.

First of all, I will say that it can take good pictures and it is of a very handy size (maybe even too small). But there is one very big draw back to this camera: it takes a very, very long time to take a picture. Now I'm not just talking about flash photography here, which, as one other reviewer recently mentioned, is extremely slow (10 or 11 seconds between pictures) due to the slow write and recharge times. The slowness I am talking about is for normal everyday (non-flash) photos and this camera takes a very long (read that as unacceptable) time to focus and take a picture. I have missed so many good pictures waiting for this camera to focus and actually take the photo that I would recommend that you seriously look at other alternatives prior to buying this camera.
I regret buying this camera and giving it to a close friend prior to actually using it myself and determining that it had these problems. I will say that it can take beautiful pictures and even half decent video clips (with no sound) but what you are taking a picture of better be "still life" in nature and you better not be in a hurry to take it.
Please note that I am not a Nikon basher as I have a Nikon D-100 digital SLR and it is the best camera in the world. Of course it cost about $1,000 but it was worth every penny. Just think very carefully before buying a Nikon 4600.

    "This is my first digital camera after many years of analog photography. I learned to take pictures on a Bolsey B2. This was a 35 mm that was fully manual. The camera may deserve 5 stars, but I do not have a frame of reference to do this. I do not value real small cameras, but I accept that I cannot fight the popular market demands.
I found it very easy to get started taking pictures. I am working my way through the manual. The manual is really brief, but complete and understandable. While there is an automatic mode, one can get best performance by selecting shooting situations from menus. While I have purchased, and plan to use rechargeable batteries, I appreciated the fact that the disposable alkalines held up while I went through my early learning phases.
The software that came with the camera offered some brightness and color control in addition to more basic editing features. It is easy to work with. Again, I lack the experience to be critical.
I realize that experienced digital enthusiasts may want to skip this review, but I hope to encourage other novices to give this camera very serious consideration. The literature is very clear and easy to follow (if you have good eyesight or a magnifier). "
