Not to be outdone, the Coolpix 5600 can also
record high-quality movies at a rate of up to 15 frames per second. Other
advanced features include Nikon's In-Camera Red-Eye Fix, which takes
red-eye reduction a step further by removing red-eye directly in the
camera, and a D-Lighting feature that offers in-camera repair of dark
images. The Coolpix P1 allows you to take hundreds of shots on just two AA
batteries. In short, the Coolpix 5600 is perfect for novice users or
anyone looking for a point-and-shoot camera that produces sharp, colorful
photos with great ease of use.

Excellent Camera, March 27,
2005
Reviewer: I. Peters "Miezekatze"
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 it. My first impression: It
is VERY intuitive. The menu button on the back leads to varying choices
which depend on which mode one choses (Auto, Scene, Portrait, Landscape,
Sports, Night Shots and Movie). All the other buttons are straightforward
as well. For example, if you want to delete a picture you just took, you
simply press the button with the trash can symbol...
Later I briefly went over the manual and also found it to be an easy read
and very structured. Unlike many other manuals this one was not an ordeal.
The 5600's autofocus is very fast. Of course if the flash is used,
recharging takes a bit of time, but without flash the camera is ready for
the next shot in a snap. The many program choices yield truly awesome
results. I took mainly indoor pictures so far and am amazed at the
quality. Unlike other cameras, the flash light does not wash out colors.
The pictures come out balanced and just simply very nice and natural
looking.
I also really like the 'assist' functions: In some modes, one can set up
the camera to display helpful frames, e.g. in Portrait mode one can have
the outline of a person's head and shoulders diplayed. All the aspiring
photographer has to do is to hold the camera in a position where the head
of his/her subject is in the circle frame, shoot, and the camera does the
rest. One can even display this frame on the left or, alternatively, on
the right or take a portrait shot of two people with two such assist
frames displayed.
I have not yet had the time to try out all the functions (haven't tried
Sports mode too much yet, or the copy function to copy back & white text)
but one thing I can already say: This is not only the neatest camera I
have owned so far, it also takes excellent pictures with very balanced
flash-light results. To me, one of the quality signs is how a digital
camera handles the color red, and this one does a fine job in this area,
too. To anyone considering this camera: Go for it, you won't be sorry. And
the price it great, too!

I purchased this camera & the battery charger & 2 sets of rechargable
batteries & a memory card a few months ago. I have had no problems. It
takes great pictures & with the memory card it does great on those long
picture taking events. I do highly recomend 2 sets of batteries, as the
2nd set has saved me many times while taking pictures. I enlarge a lot of
them. There are a lot of features to use and I have not yet used all of
them. I mainly use the close-ups, still pictures, action pictures, movies,
portrait & different scene & sunset settings. So far all have been great.
I have found that on the close-ups with the zoom it is a little hard for
me to hold the camera by hand still enough, so I do some enlarging on the
computer. A tripod would help the steadiness a great deal. I have been
quite satisfied & so have people that have seen my photos.
