5.0 out of 5 stars Great Camera for Active People, February 21, 2009

This review is from: Nikon Coolpix S560 10MP Digital Camera with 5x Optical Vibration Reduction (VR) Zoom with 2.7 inch LCD (Cherry Blossom) (Electronics)

I've had this camera for three months and it has been an excellent camera as far as being lightweight, easy to use, excellent image quality, good battery life except out in the cold. Keep it warm if you are going to be ourside on freezing days.
I am active and I wear this on my belt every day, it doesn't seem any heavier than my cellphone, and it is easy to start up to capture shots that come my way without forewarning. You could use this camera for bycycling, running, walking, hiking, snowsports, travel and just about anything except swimming, but if you are going to do portraits you will probably want a camera with more manual adjustments. I wouldn't use it to shoot a wedding, although it would be great as a backup. The ISO range from 100 to 3200 is really an asset.
The video on it is easy to use and is of good quality but not HD.
I have big hands, and some arthritis, so I use a very small lightweight tripod for a handle to keep the camera from shaking when shooting video or shots where I cannot brace my arms. The tripod is about six inches long and I screw it into the camera and it give me the extra control, plus if I want to set it up on a tripod I can. This is in addition to the vibration reduction that is on the camera. The 2.7 inch screen works for me because I want the camera to be light. I have a digital SLR for more demanding photography, and a HD Camcorder, so this camera fits a slot.

Recommend this camera. Not a photo expert and it is easy to use. A good deal of features I have not yet used or figured out but for ease of use our 9 year old is a master. Zoom is very good. Right size too. Button feel good to use not cheap. Easy to remove battery pack and photo card slot,(after I read the instructions). The only fault for this and current cameras the 10MP is not needed for everyday standard photos. The file size is too large. Now need software to reduce my photo file sizes for storage.

I ordered this camera on a Sunday and I had it by Wednesday. Fast shipping!! I have only ever owned a Kodak camera and was a little unsure to order my Nikon, but no worries. This camera is excellent. It has a lot of features and different scene modes. Excellent quality of pictures. Very clear and sharp. Very convienent size. Small enough to fit in a small purse but still easy to operate. Very cute and stylish too.
