Customer Review: If you're a point and shoot person, great camera, and more than you need
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm not going to go into a lot of the detail. I'll just talk about what I like and don't about this camera.
Previous to the s570, we had a coolpix 880 - 3.3 M - state of the art at the time. It was sort of a crossover between point-and-shoot and more technical photography. It was always a bit to bulky, although it was pretty standard sized for the time. After having the 880 for several years, we faced the fact that we're point and shoot people, so after a lot of research, we settled on this one.
About the 570:
In the description of what comes with the 570, it doesn't mention a carrying case. There is one, and quite nice at that.
It is very compact, and will easily fit even into your shirt pocket.
No separate lens cap like the 880, always a nuisance - a door over the lens opens and closes automatically.
Controls are easy to use, a little small for clumsy hands, but thats all of the space that there is to use.
Finally, a good sized viewfinder!
I takes up to a 25 minute movie (avi file), and records decent sound, not the best, but decent. It is not, after all, a movie camera.
It has all kind of smarts that I have yet to master. Over time, and a bit more time with the manual, I'm sure that I'll be taking advantage of more of the features.
It has sound effects, such as a shutter sound. I find this feedback to be helpful.
Maybe I'm not critical enough, but I think that it takes great pictures - good enough for a point-and-shoot person.
I have yet to go through a battery charge, unlike the 880 where I always had a spare ready.
When you order the camera, be sure to order a memory card for it. Its internal memory will hold something like 9 pics. I got an 8 gig card - not much price dif. from a 4 gig. This will hold over 2,300 pictures. That is, of course, excessive, but I estimate that a 25 min movie will use up around 2 gig, so in that light, it makes sense.
I found there to be a very short latency between pressing the shutter button, and the picture. This is contrary to other reviews that I read about it.
Dislikes:
Errr, I actually can't think of any.
I gave it 4 out of 5 stars, because I'm sure that a camera in this price range has some drawbacks. For me, it's just right.
