Just a thought from 27 March 2005 about , .

I'm doing a little housecleaning and I've decided to sell some cameras. Looking for a great digital camera? I've got two for sale: (UPDATE: They've both sold!)

  • SOLD! Nikon Coolpix 4500: $299 If you've never used a swivel camera, you don't know what you're missing. Great for casual shooting.

What Canon has to say about this camera:

The EOS Digital Rebel is for everyone, offering SLR excitement and quality, digital convenience and unlimited EOS system creativity.

Novice photographers can quickly become expert with easy, enticing SLR functions like high-speed, 7-point wide area AF with superimposed focusing points, 3 AF modes, 12 shooting modes, automatic and enhanced exposure controls, highly adaptive white balance controls and intelligent pop-up flash with automatic red-eye reduction. The EOS Digital Rebel has a host of other great features including a full resolution 2.5 fps continuous shooting mode and expanded color space settings and multiple processing parameter options. The big, clear LCD screen can be adjusted for brightness, menus are plainly written, and playback zooms all the way to 10x with a flexible view.

Nikon Coolpix 4500: SOLD!

My favorite sneaky camera! With the swivel lens, you can hold the camera at waist level to shoot surreptitiously. Very quiet shooting and great shots! I've owned this camera for a couple years but haven't used it much since I got the Canon Digital Rebel. It'd be perfect for a casual shooter who still wants quality prints.

  • Digital Camera Type: Prosumer

  • Optical Zoom: 4x (38-155mm)

  • Flash Type: Pop-up flash

  • Resolution: 4.0 megapixels (2,272x1,704 pixels)

  • Camera in excellent condition - barely used.

  • Camera strap - BRAND NEW, NEVER USED

  • Lens cap with string attachment

  • 16MB Compact Flash card

  • Battery and charger

  • All original manuals and CDs in original box!

What Nikon has to say about this camera:

Shoot from up high, down low-or anywhere in between. The Nikon COOLPIX 4500 offers a unique swivel lens design giving you the freedom to focus on your next shot, not your position. Frame subjects at eye level using the optical viewfinder, or from arm’s length with the full-color, high-resolution LCD monitor. Every picture is captured with true-to-life color thanks to Nikon’s high-performance 4x Optical Zoom-Nikkor Lens. Whether shooting as close as 3/4” from your subject or across long distances, its 4.0 effective Megapixel CCD delivers beautiful 2,272 x 1,704-pixel images for large-format printing. Full manual operation puts the experienced digital photographer in total control. Not sure of the settings to take the best picture? Select one of the COOLPIX 4500’s 16 pre-programmed Scene Modes, and take great pictures every time. More »
