Can't comment on the C5050, but when I was travelling New Mexico, my buddy had
a Nikon Coolpix 5700, and the damn thing wouldn't autofocus. Kept hunting for
the target, causing much missing of shots and cursing of Nikon. If the Coolpix
4500 has similar internal guts, I'd stay away from it. My buddy's problems
with the 5700 has caused me to swear off even thinking about buying a Coolpix
for the foreseeable future.
