Camera OverviewNikon Coolpix S560

The Nikon COOLPIX S560 is a compact point-and-shoot camera built around a 1/2.3-inch sensor delivering 10MP resolution. It's housed in an aluminum body measuring 93 x 55 x 24 mm and weighing just 130g, making it genuinely pocketable for everyday carry. Image stabilization is handled via a Sensor-Shift (IBIS) system, with digital IS also available as a supplementary option — a meaningful inclusion for a camera in this class.

The autofocus system covers 99 areas using Face Detection AF and Contrast Detection, giving the camera a solid foundation for casual portrait and group shooting. The 2.7-inch fixed LCD with 230,000 dots serves as the primary composition and review tool, as there is no viewfinder. ISO sensitivity runs from 64 to 3200, offering a reasonable range for both bright outdoor scenes and lower-light situations.

The camera supports SD, SDHC, and internal storage, and connects via USB. Video recording tops out at 30fps in 8-bit with Standard color. Color profiles for stills include Standard, Vivid, and Monochrome.

A built-in flash with multiple modes is included. Battery life is rated at approximately 160 shots per charge using the EN-EL11 battery. Burst shooting is supported at up to 1.2 frames per second.
