Testing / Performance
The recently released Nikon Coolpix 5600 targets users looking for a simple and compact digital camera to assume the brunt of the work. The Coolpix 5600 packs 5.36 total megapixels on its 1/2.5-inch CCD with 5.1 megapixels effective in creating images. Nikon applied a 3x optical zoom lens and 1.8" LCD monitor to the short, silver frame. The 1.8" screen is on the smaller end of cameras released this year and is only composed of 80,000 pixels of resolution. Tagged "Ultra Smart, Simply Digital" by Nikon, the Coolpix 5600 offers point-and-shoot users some shooting flexibility with 16 scene modes, D-Lighting setting, in-Camera Red-Eye Fix, Scene Assistance alternatives and 3 movie modes with sound. The camera includes 14 MB of internal memory and is powered by two AA batteries. Initially retailing for $279.95, intrigued consumers can now purchase the compact Coolpix 5600 for $249.95 following the recent price reduction.
