The Nikon Coolpix 4100 is an affordable entry-level digicam featuring a 4-megapixel sensor, 3x optical zoom lens, and a variety of shooting modes. As a point-and-shoot camera, the 4100 does not have advanced exposure controls, metering options, or ISO settings. Instead, it offers basic recording modes such as Auto, 15 preset scene modes, and a video mode that can record movie clips at 640x480 with 15 fps. For those who prefer AA based cameras, the Nikon 4100 looks very attractive as it accepts Alkaline/NiMH or CR-V3 batteries. As a relatively inexpensive 4 megapixel digicam, the Nikon Coolpix 4100 looks very promising.

#4: You make a good point. As we are relatively new with digital camera reviews, we are still building our base of comparisons. However, check out the comparison cameras on the testing pages to see the relative performance of similar models we have reviewed.Turin39789 - Friday, March 11, 2005 - link
In most hardware reviews when a product falls short in terms of quality for its category/price range the article will mention the top performers/best values. This article tells me the nikon 4100 is not for me, but doesnt really point me in the right direction for a better choice.skrivis - Friday, March 11, 2005 - link
I looked at these, but Nikon USA is offering a rebate of $200 on the Coolpix 5400. (Until 03/31)I got much more camera for about $50 more. Total price after rebate was $259.

#1, I think you meant the 4600. At any rate, we are always limited to what is available to us at the time. We certainly intend to look into the entire new line-up of Nikons in the future as they become available to us. Even so, the 4100 is very popular and widely available. Hang tight for the new Nikons...we are eagerly awaiting our chance at reviewing them.Stephen

Its a good thing Anandtech is reviewing cameras but please the next time before you review the cameras make sure they are current coz this one is discontinued.... yeah, discontinued. The replacement for Coolpix 4100 is Coolpix 4900, pretty much the same but with a bigger screen and smaller size, look into that.Thanx for the review anyways.

Nikon Coolpix 4100 is a good camera and you've allocated an informative review of this camera. I enjoyed the camera comparison you've made and I think anyone would be delighted before purchasing Nikon Coolpix 4100. Thanks.
