Forrest,
The 4300 is a good camera but was never at any stage top of the line. The 4500 is the last of the twist cameras and is a very nice unit. The best because you can shoot RAW (NEF) files with the correct firmware is the Coolpix 5000. It takes a larger 5MP image and has a larger diameter lens (also suitable for 0-360 because it has a swivel LCD screen) It is the biggest Mega Pixel camera to accept the FC-E8.
Order of preference:
- Coolpix 5000
- Coolpix 4500
- Coolpix 4300
Both the 4500 and the 5000 were classed at some stage as the Top of the Range "Flagship" models.
Regards, Smooth
