The P-4500 retains the same gorgeous 3.8" LCD display with Photo Fine technology as in the past models, but offers a slight restyling, a new backlight that's 1.5 times as bright, support for images as large as 30 megapixels, as well as improved display and transfer speeds (courtesy of a new image processing engine).
