About this product

Product Information

The COOLPIX 5600 has been designed to make things simple for you and give you greater versatility, without compromising your enjoyment of the moment. The COOLPIX 5600 features 16 handy Scene modes, four of which offer a Scene Assistance function. These user-friendly modes automatically control camera settings, enabling you to achieve high-quality results with subjects that range from sunsets to underwater. The COOLPIX 5600 stands apart from other cameras in its class with its handy ability to automatically improve the quality of recorded shots with the touch of a button. Nikon's exclusive D-Lighting function, for example, can be selected in Playback mode - automatically compensating for insufficient flash or excessive back lighting in order to obtain balanced exposure throughout the frame. Nikon's proprietary Advanced Red-eye Reduction, on the other hand, has the ability to automatically detect and correct red eyes in-camera in most situations.With a high-quality 3x optical Zoom-Nikkor lens and 4x digital zoom, the COOLPIX 5600 gives you a high degree of control over the way you compose your shots.

  • Great cheap camera for casual family snapshots!

    Not as good as the similar-looking Coolpix 2200 for taking beautifully-focused closeup photos in macro mode, but this 5600 model is better for taking family snapshots where you want to be able to enlarge or zoom in on details without losing sharpness as quickly. The 2200 is OK for prints up to 3x5 inches, so I'm sure this 5600 would do somewhat larger satisfactorily. The resulting file sizes are very emailable as-is by modern standards, and their largeness compared to the 2200 is compensated for in the camera by the ability to use larger capacity film cards. I have a 512 MB card in my 5600 and it works well, whereas I'm sure the same card would overwhelm my 2200, or at least be impractically slow to write the images into. I would not try to use larger than 128 MB in the 2200, and 64 MB writes faster. I think the Coolpix 5600 was introduced about 2 years after the Coolpix 2200, so of course it is a little more modern. Unlike the earlier 2200, this camera offers sound with its video recording, but frankly the video quality is not good and not a reason to buy it. Like the 2200, this uses (older/smaller) SD cards and standard rechargeable AA batteries, and handles lighting contrasts like shadows across a face infinitely better than many other older digital cameras I've used. And I I find the controls on both of these cameras MUCH more intuitive than any other camera I've tried, including modern Nikons. Oh I should mention that the combination of sliding latch and sliding/swinging battery cover seems too much for a lot of people to figure out. I see a lot of these cameras for sale with cracked or broken battery covers, from people prying at them with a knifeblade or similar. Use your brain before prying, and your eyes before buying!

  • This camera is easy to use and takes great pictures.

    I was replacing another Nikon Coolpix 5600 camera. My camera had a broken door where you put in the batteries. I like this camera and wanted to have the same one again. I have had this model for a long time and I like using it.

  • Awesome Old little digital camera

    I had the same product but it broke on me, this is a perfect 1 to 1 replacement i thought I’d never find with the product being as old as it is.

  • Works ok, but no mass delete function. you have to manually delete memory

    No "Delete all pictures function". Instructions are complicated and don't work right.
