(More customer reviews)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.

Take a great picture no matter the conditions. The Nikon Coolpix S560 has many features that help you do just that. For example, for fast-moving subjects, there's Face Priority AF, a face-finding technology that quickly finds and focuses on up to 12 faces in a group portrait. Blink warning will let you know when your subject's eyes are closed so you can retake your picture. And with a possible ISO of 3200, you'll get that important picture you want. Scene Auto Selector automatically recognizes the scene in your picture and adjusts the camera setting Blink warning will let you know when your subject's eyes are closed so you can retake your picture Smile Shutter - The camera can detect up to three faces with the subject's smile, determine which is closest to the center of the frame, ultimately firing the shutter Face Priority AF - face-finding technology quickly finds and focuses on up to 12 faces in a group portrait In-Camera Red-Eye Fix D-Lighting - rescue those photos that are too dark for printing by enhancing the underexposed areas of the picture while not touching the properly exposed areas ISO up to 3200 15 Scene Modes High Quality TV Movies with Sound - duration is limited by the available space on your SD/SDHC card Approx. 44MB Internal Memory Formats - JPEG, AVI, WAV Rechargeable Lithium-ion Battery Dimensions (H x W x D) - 2.1 x 3.7 x 0.9 in.
