Nikon Coolpix S570
The COOLPIX S570 is available in pink, red, blue, black and silver. The front of the camera is finished in a metallic lacquer and looks quite stylish with it's rounded corners and polished lens bezel. But this is a camera of two halves and the rear portion, finished in matt black plastic, isn't nearly so attractive.
The COOLPIX S570 is quite light and sufficiently compact to carry around in you pocket. It handles nicely but it's a little to easy to inadvertently press the rear panel buttons with your thumb, so you need to make a conscious effort to keep it on the dimpled area above the controls.
The rear panel houses the 2.7in LCD screen mounted in a raised section with a bevelled top edge into which is set a flash-ready LED. The controls are layed out on the right below a dimpled thumb rest and comprise a four-way control disc with central button. Mode selector and playback buttons are arranged above and menu and delete buttons below.
The top panel houses a recessed on/off button and shutter release with zoom collar. The on/off button has an LED surround which flashes green when the camera goes into standby mode to save power. As well as being functional it looks pretty cool. On the bottom a spring hinged door reveals a single compartment for the battery and SD card, with a small orange clip holding the battery in place so it can't fall out accidentally.

Unlike Canon compacts, which turn the camera off if the battery/card compartment door is opened, it's possible to open the door and even remove the card with the camera powered up, with the consequent potential for losing or corrupting the image data on it.
The plastic tripod bush is situated on the extreme left corner of the bottom panel. While this makes it possible to open the battery/card compartment, it doesn't provide the most stable or level platform.
The built-in flash has a quoted range of 5.5 metres at the maximum wide angle lens setting, which is a little better than average and longer than both the Canon IXUS 120 IS/ SD940 IS and the IXUS 200 IS / SD980 IS. Five modes are available – on, off, auto, red-eye reduction and slow sync.
In red-eye reduction mode a sequence of low-intensity pre-flashes is fired before the main flash exposure and the image is post-processed to remove red-eye in the camera. Unlike the Canon compacts you can't have one without the other, it's either both pre-flash and processing or nothing.
The COOLPIX S570 actually fires a single pre-flash whatever the flash mode. Possibly this is to determine TTL exposure, but whatever the reason, there's an extended wait between flash exposures of anything up to seven seconds. During this time the flash indicator LED flashes red when you put first pressure on the shutter release. It won't update it's status while you have the shutter depressed, so you've got to release it and try again, and if it's still not ready again, and again, until it illuminates continuously. As you can imagine this can be quite frustrating.
The COOLPIX S570 uses a Nikon EN-EL10 Lithium-ion battery which provides sufficient power for 220 shots using the CIPA (Camera Imaging Products Association) standard which provides a good guide of how the camera will perform in real-life situations with typical use of the flash, zoom and LCD panel. This isn't spectacular, but it is at least on a par with the Canon IXUS 120 IS / SD940 IS and the IXUS 200 IS / SD980 IS.Lire l'avis complet...
Great point and shoot camera.
After a good bit research on point and shoot cameras that I could take with me on my outdoor escapades I settled on the Nikon S570.
I am very impressed with the quality of shots from the camera, I have found picking a specific shoot mode helps with blurriness of some photos. So far I mostly have used it in snow and sports settings and have had them turn out great.
The video mode leaves a little to be desired in my opinion, could use some higher quality modes.
I like the rechargable battery, wish it could be charged in the camera. The camera uses very little battery life on many shots, even in the cold.
Overall, I would buy it again in a heartbeat!Lire l'avis complet...
great product
This is the fourth Nikon camera I've purchased and I believe this camera has a lot of good points, such image quality and light weight. The down side of it is the quirky manner in which it works. First and foremost in the complaint department is the nasty habit of the camera "locking-up" which requires removing the battery and reinserting it. Second is the sluggish response of the exposure meter scale. Instead of following the adjustment dials, it lags along and seems to bob up and down on either side of the "0" mark. My final gripe is with the shutter speed control. I can't get 1/2400or 1/3000 second to work. In short, I feel that if I bought this camera as a light-weight alternative to my D300 and D70s, I should have use of all of the cameras functions and features. Maybe there is a firmware upgrade in the future(I already am using version 1.1). This camera has a lot of potential with its zoom range and image quality, but it definitely could use some tweaking to make it a camera that I would recommend to a friend.Lire l'avis complet...
A very nice camera at a great price.
After some research, I chose this model for it's 12MP and Macro features. I'm very happy with the image quality and the macro works exceptionally well for my needs. The only problem I have with this camera (and it may just be the factory refurbished one I have) is that the auto focus lock seems to be a bit finnicky. I have found that when it have some trouble locking, a quick reboot (only a few seconds really) is all it takes to reset it. This camera is fast at boot, shooting and review of images. I've only used it for a few days by am very pleased, and since I got it used for $58 dollars including shipping, I can't complain a bit.Lire l'avis complet...
Nikon s570 12 megapixel camera
I should start off by saying I'm a big fan of Nikon. I had just broken my last little camera and finally started the research process for the right one to go with me everywhere. This camera has 12 megapixels which was a major factor for my buying it. Also it deals with all kinds of lighting situations really well. I think this camera is great, but my only complaint is sometimes when your taking a picture at night and there is to much movement it will be caught in the picture. Kind of annoying, but otherwise I haven't had any other problems with it and I use it all the time when I'm on the go. Hope that helps.Lire l'avis complet...
NIKON COOLPIX S570 REVIEW
Nice camera.
I am an independent contractor and often need a quick camera for light duty, and have used a Nikon S570 for years.
This camera is a tough little box that has been accidently battered and shined up many times, and it still keeps on working.
Recently, the camera's picture quality deteriorated; I was forced to upgrade to another camera. I hope the new one works out as well as this one, but just in case, I'm keeping the Nikon as a back up.Lire l'avis complet...

Mostly good
Overall, this is a great little camera. I have only found 3 problems/dislikes.
The camera only displays battery charge level when it is partially discharged. But apparently it is not very accurate. Twice, with no previous warning, the camera would not turn on because battery was low.
The charger has a long power cord. Very inconvenient to take the charger with you.
I solved both problems by buying a travel charger and two spare batteries off Ebay.
Also, the small flash is at the very top corner of the camera. I have to be very careful to hold the camera in a way that does not block the flash.Lire l'avis complet...
Excellent camera, easy to use, great quality photos!

Awesome features! Good Pictures! Camera is not durable!
The many features on this camera are amazing! I bought this camera mainly for taking pictures of my kids. The smile timer is perfect for this, because you don't have to have good timing, the camera does it for you. The camera is sort of blurry when person or object is moving, which isn't good when taking picutres of alot of kids. The camera is small and alittle flimsy, it seems like it won't take much to break. Overall, I am very happy with my puchase, and I'm sure when i work all the kinks out i will be extremly satisfifed.Lire l'avis complet...
Nikon Coolpix S570 Digital Camera
The Nikon S670 digital camera walks a fine line between size and functionality, and comes down squarely in the middle. While certainly bigger than a credit card, it is still shirt-pocket sized unless, like me, you insist on keeping it in a case. Then, it is still jacket-pocket sized. There are two main compromises that went into keeping the size down: zoom ratio and viewfinder.
The optical zoom ratio is 5:1, and since it starts from a wider-than-usual 28mm (35mm equivalent) the maximum zoom won't get you a good picture of a woodpecker at the top of a tree. On the other hand, with 12 MPX to play with, the digital zoom is actually usable. You can get another 2X without seriously degrading image quality, and even more with some compromise.
Lack of a viewfinder (optical or electronic) is something I find a serious drawback. In bright light especially it is difficult to see the display screen. Perhaps part of it is that for 20 years I made my living looking through the viewfinders of Nikon SLR's. The screen is nice-sized (3" I think), and I do like getting the instant playback. It's big and sharp enough, and the camera small and light enough, to hand around like a print.
I also find the lack of manual focusing a problem. There are some workarounds, like placing the focusing spot where you want it rather than at the center, but for some situations, nothing but a truly manual focus will get the job done. That said, the autofocus, left at its default settings, works remarkably well.
Likewise, the onboard flash has its limitations in range--10-15 feet is about it, but the auto-exposures works very well and you can't beat the tiny size.
With all my negative comments, I still rate this camera Excellent because it performs so very well within its design parameters at a very reasonable price. It stays up with the big boys in image quality, and it's small enough you'll take it along just in case. The perfect Second Camera for picky photogs.Lire l'avis complet...
