I spent the past few days trying to figure out a new purchase - a Nikon 5600 5.1 megapixel digital camera. Today, I gave up and took it back. I’m thoroughly disappointed in that particular camera, compared to my Canon PowerShot A70 3.2 megapixel. I thought I’d notice a big difference in the picture quality. I thought I’d be able to take better pictures in a range of different situations. Nope. Lowlight, lots of light, using the flash, no flash - same result. Poor picture quality for a 5.1 megapixel camera.

Maybe I was doing something wrong, but I don’t mind sticking with my Canon. It’s taken a lot of good pictures for me in the past, and I know all the ins and outs of using it. In short, I don’t recommend the Nikon 5600.
