The Nikon Coolpix 4300 is a digital camera that was made by Nikon. The camera has a compact, smooth, all-plastic body with a matte-silver finish. It was regarded as a moderately high-end point and shoot camera, although it also had manual exposure and manual focus options. It had a Nikkor 3x optical Zoom lens, with a focal length of 8 to 24 mm (equivalent of a field of view in 38 to 114 mm lens on a 25mm camera), as well as an aperture of f/2.8–4.9 and shutter speed of 8–1/1,000 sec. It was capable of ISO equivalents of 100, 200, and 400. At 4.0 megapixels, it was capable of delivering 2,272 x 1,704 pixel images. It also had the ability to record 320 x 240 resolution, 15 fps silent video clips in the QuickTime .MOV file format.
The Coolpix 4300 was criticized for its short battery life and non-standard size lithium battery.
