Positioned in the middle of Nikon’s “entry-level” consumer digicam product line, the Nikon Coolpix 5600 is an ultra-compact camera that features a 5-megapixel imager combined with a Nikkor 3x optical zoom lens. Designed for simplicity, it offers users a point-n-shoot “Auto” exposure mode, and helps the less-experienced photographer obtain good results with its wide variety of pre-programmed scene modes. There’s also scene-assisted modes (Portrait, Landscape, Sports, Night Portrait) that help you “get it right” with framing assist outlines on the LCD.

Nikon Coolpix 5600 Review - Steve’s Digicams
Nikon Coolpix 5600 Review - PhotographyBLOG
The Nikon Coolpix 5600 is a stylishly designed 5 megapixel compact digital camera that was first announced at the PMA show back in February 2005. The Coolpix 5600 is one of the first Nikon digital cameras to feature the new D-Lighting technology, which intelligently lightens overly dark images, and Advanced Red-eye Reduction, which automatically detects and corrects red-eye in most situations. The Nikon Coolpix 5600 has a 3x optical zoom lens equivalent to 35-105mm on a 35mm camera, a 1.8 inch LCD screen and 16 different scene modes to help you take better pictures.
Nikon Coolpix 5600 Review - Photoxels
The Nikon Coolpix 5600 is an attractive, compact, lightweight and affordable digital camera perfect for first-time digital camera users. It is strictly a Point-and-Shoot camera for those who want the camera to take care of exposure for them — and the camera does this pretty well. Its strong points are good handling, excellent macros, and good quality 5MP images.
Though the Coolpix 5600 has only Auto Mode, it has lots of useful Scene Modes, including four scene assist modes to help with picture composition. It also allows the more advanced amateur photographer to dial in an exposure compensation and set manual White Balance.
Nikon Coolpix 4600 / 5600 Review - DCRP
The Nikon Coolpix 4600 and Nikon Coolpix 5600 are both decent entry-level cameras that are best suited for outdoor photos. In those situations they take good quality photos with accurate colors and not much noise or purple fringing. Indoor photos are still okay, but taking them can be frustrating due to poor low light focusing and an LCD which doesn’t gain up much. Both cameras are totally point-and-shoot, with white balance being the only manual control. They have a ton of scene modes, including unique “Scene Assist” modes which help you frame your photos. Two other cool features are Nikon’s D-Lighting digital flash (which works if you don’t mind more noise in your photos) and in-camera redeye reduction. The two Coolpixes also offer a help system in their menus, though the help screens could be more helpful.
