Nikon quality, but slow flash refresh. I tested the Coolpix 5600 to replace my Coolpix 2100, looking forward to the new features, such as a larger view screen, enhanced battery life, and some new photo features that allow you to choose black and white, or other color scales to enhance a photograph. Nikon quality is very high, and these cameras are very durable, though the hard plastic shells do tend to scratch a little with abuse. One positive change made to this camera was moving the photo dial from the top to the back side and mina...

This is my first digital camera that i have bought, but i have used lots others in the past.
This camera is outstanding. Extremely easy to use, great-great-great picture quality. It can fulfil the expectations of many starter amateur photographers and can nearly satisfy a professional one. Vivid colours....great.
The recharging of the flash is a lit bit slow.I think that this is this only negative element.
With a 512MB SD memory card you h...

100% (15 of 15) Users Found This Review Helpful | | | loved this camera! Well, I bought this camera on account of its price, which was very nice, the tiny dimensions (The two Ni-MH alkaline batteries weight more than the camera itself. If you take the batteries off, it seems it is a toy camera). I used it during a week I spent in New York, and I have to congratulate Nikon for its nice camera. It has a great long lasting battery, because I took 900 photos, what means an average of 150 photos per day, and I had to charge it every night.
The special functio...

100% (14 of 14) Users Found This Review Helpful | | | Nikon Coolpix 5600 - Lots of Options, Limited Battery Life I was attracted to the Nikon Coolpix 5600 by its price, extensive preset shooting modes, and compact size. It was put to the test on a one week vacation trip. The shooting modes were great - museum, sunset, night landscape, etc. And the size was handy. But there were two shortfalls. In one week, I went through two sets of batteries, taking a total of only 200 pictures. The second problem was the long time required to recharge before taking the next shot. It was a little annoying in daylight and ...

100% (11 of 11) Users Found This Review Helpful | | | Excellent Camera I have owned 2 other digital cameras before (Kodak and Fuji) and without a doubt the Nikon Coolpix 5600 is in a league of its own.
Although it is really small, it is surprisingly ergonomic. My hands are not tiny but compared to my other cameras this one fits very well and does not result in crampy hand muscles. The case is plastic but does not feel cheap.
When I first picked up this camera, I had not read the manual. I just turned it on and started playing around with ...

99% (110 of 111) Users Found This Review Helpful | | | The small wonder I am a camera buff and have used many cameras. I would say that this is by far the best camera its size. It is probably a matter of personal tastes, but I think this camera takes much better pictures than the Canon A95.
White balance is wonderful, as with most Nikons.
here are the things that rock:
1. Compact and cute, fits in my jeans pocket
2. Uses just two AA batteries and is light weight( weighs less than the A95)
3. Has a lot of programmin...

95% (19 of 20) Users Found This Review Helpful | | | I took it back - the flash recharge time is the worst I've seen I'll make this short and sweet for you. This camera has a lot of features and settings, but the flash recharge time takes about 5-10 seconds. To put it another way, right after you take a picture, the camera shuts down (screen goes black) for up to 10 seconds! This makes the camera useless when you are trying to catch sports action or silliness. You are going to get one good picture (if the horrible shutter lag doesn't make you miss it) and thats it. If you are looking for a camera to take pict...

94% (18 of 19) Users Found This Review Helpful | | | I Love it Bought it with the Viking 128 SD card offer for $235. The only other I was considering was the Canon A95. But the Nikon offer was good, and the pics are great! For a beginner like me, the Nikon is SO easy to work with, from changing the different scene modes to uploading pics(I use Picasa and not Nikon's software).
Video quality is good, not excellent, but who cares?

Now I feel ready to write a review. This is my first digital camera so I don't have much to compare against other than cameras that my friends own.
PROS
1. small. compact. easy to carry around.
2. zoom is pretty good.
3. video quality pretty good also.

91% (11 of 12) Users Found This Review Helpful | | | Fantastic What a great camera. I used to have a Kodak Easyshare DX3900 and compared to that this camera is lightyears ahead. Now in all fairness I bought the Kodak camera three years ago and in that time frame the new Kodaks might be just as good.
But with the Coolpix I get so many "cool" (no pun intended) features, I'm still blown away by how small the camera is, how many assist modes it has, excellent picutre quality, the sport mode captures multiple images with every shutter release plus i...
