Nikon Coolpix 4300: 4 Mpixels are better than 3

It bases on the year-ago Coolpix 885, featuring the similar design and main specifications, though differing by a 4-megapixel sensor instead of a 3-megapixel. In its turn, Coolpix 885 was based on Coolpix 880. Therefore, all accessories for previous cameras will be suitable for Coopix 4300.


The camera will be available in silver and black variants. It will support the following accessories: Telephoto, Wideangle and Fisheye lens, Slide Copy Adapter (requiring UR-E4 adapter). Coopix 4300 will be supplied with a lens cover, shoulder strap, video cable, 16MB CompactFlash card, UC-E1 USB cable, Li-Ion battery, MH-53 charger and a Nikon View5 CD-ROM.
