2009-02-01 Nikon COOLPIX 5600 Digital Camera
 0 of 0 people found the following review helpful This product replaced an identical one that someone had stolen from me. Therefore, I mainly wanted to make sure it operated as it should. It did not disappoint.
However, I have to mention that the shipper put a sharp cornered box into a sturdy padded envelope that fell apart before it arrived. The shipper should have taken the camera out of the box or enclosed it in another box with peanuts.

2008-12-02 Forget it, too slow.
 0 of 0 people found the following review helpful I will make this quick. Great camera features, all that u will ever need. Whats the good of having good features if its too slow and u miss the shot's, yes u will miss several shots in a row as the battery weakens. The battery door is weak as well, will break off.
Keep walking, Nikon has much better cameras then this one.
2008-08-16 Frustrating, slow, with blurry pictures standard
 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful I have hated this camera since the very day I got it as a gift. It has never taken a picture in anything but the brightest light that wasn't blurry. I took it into the camera shop thinking the stabilizer was broken but they assured me that it wasn't. The delay between shots is so long its comical. I feel sorry for anyone else the owns this camera.
2008-05-16 Two years of misery
 0 of 1 people found the following review helpful I got this camera as a gift on my birthday two years ago. Needless to say I've asked for a DIFFERENT camera THIS year!
I liked the fact that it was small, and compact. I liked the fact that it took pretty decent pictures.
I did NOT like the fact that the refresh rate between pics (especially with the flash on) took anywhere from 6-12 seconds!!!! That's just ridiculous!
I was CONSTANTLY missing out on really good shots and annoying friends and family members as I asked them to hold on while I waited for it to refresh.... UGH!
I'm switching to a Canon, either the 790IS which I heard has a SUPER fast refresh rate, or the 890IS, which also has a fast refresh rate.
Do yourself a favor and avoid this camera unless you like taking one picture every 30 seconds!
