Nikon Coolpix S560 10MP Digital Camera with 5x Optical Vibration Reduction (VR) Zoom with 2.7 inch LCD (Graphite Black)

I originally purchased this camera when it was first released, almost two years ago. It has been the perfect little camera. We went to the beach this year and unfortunately, as I was walking next to the ocean, a huge wave got me - and my little camera. It was completely drowned in a second. When we returned home from the trip, I began searching for this model again. I found it on Amazon of course! I didn't even bother looking at other cameras because I love this one. I ordered it (terrific price), and it was here within a couple of days. Awesome! I adore the color of this camera's case; it's so beautiful to look at. It's easy to hold and shoot, and the large display is fantastic. It shoots gorgeous photos and videos. There are many, many features which I haven't even used yet because you really have to study the manual to know all of them. But even with basic use, this camera does all the work for you. AND it's cute! Since it comes with a battery charger, it's easy to keep it charged, which is nice. I highly recommend this camera - it's a winner!

The battery has no juice left. You can charge it as much as you would like, it will die by the 10th photo you go to take. Otherwise not terrible, but be prepared to buy a new battery.

I bought the s560 in August and have loved it until recently. I bought it specifically for a trip I was taking out west. I had an older coolpix that I really liked for its ease of use and picture quality, so Nikon was an easy choice. The camera took beautiful pictures of vineyards and mountains and ocean scenes--all on bright sunny days. It wasn't until I tried to take pictures at a friend's wedding that I became disappointed. The mood lighting of the ceremony matched with the measly flash was too much for the camera to handle. All the pictures came out dark despite my close proximity to the altar. Maybe someone with more photography/camera knowledge could monkey with the settings to get a better picture. I tried changing ISO settings to no avail. Other recent indoor events have led to similar dark, disappointing pictures. If you're looking for a great outdoor camera, I would recommend the s560. But, if you want something that does both indoor and outdoor well, I would find something else.

I ordered this camera last summer and received it rather quickly. The packaging was great, and everything came in perfect condition. I would also like to mention that the seller also sent me a coupon. The camera works pretty well, although the quality isn't perfect. There are some minor defects in some of the pictures but most come out great. I did have a problem where the pictures looked perfect on the screen but after uploading them, they were blurry and nothing could really be seen, this should be fixed. The video quality is pretty good as well, although there shouldn't be a 30 minute time limit. The memory card I received is awesome! I still haven't had to delete any of the pictures and it still has a lot of space available on it. The picture shown is the wrong color however, the camera is actually a darker shade of blue and I think it needs to be changed. Other than that, the camera is great and I am very satisfied with my purchase!

This is a great camera! I was a little iffy when buying because of some bad reviews I had read when looking to buy. It ended up being a GREAT purchase! It replaced my Kodak C875 that broke. I took this to Orlando when my husband and I went to Disneyworld and we have a wonderful album full of great pictures! I also take alot of outdoor pictures when I see a beautiful sunset or scenery, and I also take alot of pictures of my doggies. This camera captures great colors! There is alot of extras with this camera, all kinds of different functions, just make sure you read the user manual and it will definitely help you better understand the camera. I love the different settings! If you want to take a picture without the flash in a semi-dark room and you want to capture all of the colors that you are seeing, just put the camera on the "food" setting and it captures absolutely GREAT pictures! Pictures that my Kodak was not capable of. I am very happy with my purchase & I will definitely buy a Nikon again! I will be posting a few sample pictures I have taken with this camera. UPDATE!! It has been a little over a year since I got this camera. I still love it & take very good care of it! It still works as good as the day it shipped to my house!! Definitely a GREAT purchase!!

Don't buy this camera... Lot of noise on the picture and not worth the money. Returned and got a similar level Samsung, works great!

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.

Camera was a replacement camera of earlier model- this one is a bit larger and not as compact as previous model. Pix quality good- purchased for children- they enjoyed them.
