I’ve had a Nikon S510 a while back which I loved, and the Nikon S570 is even better. I like vivid colors, and when set to “vivid”, the Nikon S570 produces photos with beautiful vivid colors and excellent contrast. The wide angle lens has great edge to edge sharpness. The Nikon S570 performs well, probably not the fastest (shutter lag and start-up time), but good nonetheless. The only thing that it’s really slow in is the wait time between shots, which seems to be an eternity. I’ve missed a few shots waiting for the camera to be ready for the next shot. Otherwise, I really love this camera. It’s small and light enough to fit in you pocket, and it takes great pictures. And for it’s price, it’s definitely a great buy.

Coolpix S570 High Value for everyday use, January 24, 2010

By

J. Hofstetter “MOAshooter” (U.S.A.) – See all my reviews

There are many good cameras in this category to select from, and all have Pro’s and Con’s that ultimately are reported in these user reviews. These are personal opinion’s, and mostely not scientific. This review for the Nikon S570 tells you why I chose this camera over the others.

Since I was looking for a camera that was portable and easy to use I chose to look at these “pocket” style cameras. I’ve owned Canon, Olympus, Kodak and Nikon. I’ve found that what I consider important is the ability to get to the picture taking mode quickly. The next most important feature I look for is a menu system that is intuitive so that I can figure out how to do the things I want to do on a routine basis, like transfer pictures, delete those I don’t want and perform a little in-camera editing. Lastly, I look for a camera that has some automatic modes that make sense on daily use type cameras, like night mode, portraits and landscape modes.

For the price I got this camera for on Amazon, this one is tops in speed and easy use. It get’s you to taking picturs very fast, from the time you open the box, until your a pro with it and just need to capture a quick shot. No matter the situation, from family gatherings to landscapes, or low light shots to skinging movies, this camera rises to the challenge.

I recommend spending the extra money for a large SD card to go along with the 12 MP capability and movie action. If your going to keep it handy, It’s worth the extra expense to get a slim case. (something that is easy to open) Finally, even though this camera is not a professional type instrument, I’ve attached it to a tripod and have taken some photos over a wide exposure range to process as high dynamic range images. This camera worked pretty good for this function. (I consider this a little more advanced function for this type of camera, but the situation called for a small portable unit like this one.)

Get one for yourself and buy one as a gift.

Very “COOL” little camera !!, December 25, 2009

I made this purchase for my wife for christmas .

Although I bought this some time ago she just opened it for Christmas and she LOVES it!

very easy to use and the quality is great..very light very easy no problems what so ever .

Her hobby is photography so she finds it very easy to use and she knows her numbers and what to set it on so it is one nice little camera for when she dont want to lug around her bigger one. we have read reviews for this camera and we do not find anything wrong with it ..some say it is slow between shots .. My wife does not at all find this camera slow between shots..no way

Some also say its blurry when you playback the photos.. Ours is not blurry at all and I played my photos back on my 32 inch HD TV..they come out clear as a bell.

But some people DO have that problem..here is a solution that my wife says to do….

DO NOT in any way ROTATE your photos from the camera..this could damage the memory chip you have so what we always do is Hook the camera up to the computer then load the shots on to that ..then you can rotate all you want..you will see the difference .

I hope that helps people.

Also..we have no need to use the software for it either.. we just plug the camera to the computer and take my shots off the camera that way (just open the file) ..then I use my own photo sofware .. and Again not a problem at all

The Video is also cute on it..I wouldnt film “important things” such as one time events..but just for quick things..then its good .but thats not what my wife wants to use it for. so we dont mind it .

All in all we are very very happy with this camera.

Thank you
