Nikon Coolpix 5600 Review

by Andrew Brandt

- Both novice and experienced digital photographers will appreciate the Coolpix 5600's intuitive controls. Measuring 3.4 by 2.4 by 1.4 inches, the 5600 fits easily in your right hand. Some features, like the scene-mode selection wheel, cater to casual photographers. But even an experienced user will find depth in this camera's features, and Nikon's straightforward user interface puts all of them within easy reach.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: nice shape; not heavy, nice looking, nice pics

    Weaknesses: batteries- they didn't work a long time; long time beetwen next shots

    Overall Evaluation: 2 years ago I got this camera as a gift. I really liked it, because it was small and looked good in silver colour. more, I took pics and usually I really liked them. sometimes I took really nice pics.unfortunatelly, the camera stopped to work well. I got problems with batteries and this year lens brokien. I don't know why. I left this camera and now I'm going to buy something better. I'm thinking between Canons digital cameras or Fuji FinePix S6000 FD. I saw different positive reviews and videos about this camera and I liked it. more, it has a really nice features. so maybe I will choose this one...

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Batteries last okay. Fits in your pocket, Shoots Quick Time movies in a pinch.

    Weaknesses: Blury Pics, Flash recovery takes 10 secs, front lens cover doesn't close all the way,Doesn't focus in low light, You just have to guess and shoot no matter what setting you're on.

    Overall Evaluation: I wish I had purchased a Canon. I have always loved the quality my Nikon 35mm camera produced. So, naturally I trusted that their 5600 Coolpix would have the same quality or close to it. NOT!!! I spent around $300 after buying the Flash Card, Batteries and Charger only to find out I bought JUNK. My friend bought an $89 Kodak Digital Camera and I tried it for a day and I got better results from it and cried over the money I threw away on my Nikon 5600.
