Review on πŸ“· Nikon Coolpix S570: 12MP Digital Camera with 5x Wide Angle Optical Vibration Reduction Zoom and 2.7-Inch LCD (Black) - OLD MODEL by Justin Olson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

If you're a point and shoot enthusiast, a great camera and more than you need

I won't go into detail. I'm just going to talk about what I like and don't like about this cell. Before the s570 we had the coolpix 880 - 3.3M - cutting edge for the time. It was kind of a crossover between point and shoot and more technical photography. It's always been a bit bulky, although a fairly standard size for the time. After having the 880 for a few years we ran into people shooting, so after a lot of research we settled on these. Not to mention a portable bag. There is one, and quite pleasant. It is very compact and easily fits even in a shirt pocket. There's no separate lens cap, like the 880, always a nuisance - the flap over the lens opens and closes automatically. The controls are easy to use, a bit small for clumsy hands, but that's all the space that can be used. Finally a good seeker! I watch up to 25 minutes of movie (AVI file) and record decent audio, not the best but decent. After all, this is not a film camera. She has all kinds of skills that I have yet to master. With time and some more time with the manual, I'm sure I'll use more features. It has sound effects like shutter sound. I find this review helpful. Maybe I'm not critical enough, but I think it takes great pictures - good enough for a point-and-shoot person. I still need to charge the battery, unlike the 880 where I always had a spare ready. When you order a camera, be sure to order a memory card with it. Its internal memory holds about 9 photos. I have an 8 gig card - the price difference is small. from 4 GB. This will contain over 2300 photos. That's an exaggeration of course, but I calculated that a 25-minute movie would take up about 2 gigabytes, so in that light it makes sense. I found a very short delay between pressing the shutter button and taking the picture. . This is in contrast to other reviews I have read about them. Dislikes: uh, I really can't think of any. I gave it 4 stars out of 5 because I'm sure a camera in this price range has some flaws. For me it is correct.
