Just bought it a week ago and I'm amazed with the ease of use. I intended to buy the nikon coolpix 3100 which was said to be excelent but due to its problem with the battery charge icon I tried the brand new D-560 (C-350 Zoom in Portugal) and I bought it instead. I'm glad I did it. The results are very sharp pictures with great colours and contrast. The camera doesn't have many effects (I use PSP to manipulate photos) but is indeed very easy and fast to use, small and beautifull. The zoom and macro are excelent and the flash is good enough (doesn't light very far). The LCD is very clear even in strong sunlight. It has rapid acess to some functions (flash,macro,timer,lcd on/off,image quality and movie feature) but the keys are a little small. It is a very good camera that allows excelent results although it's controls are mostly automatic.
Problems:
Don't like the lid over the lens (somewhat slow and rough at first although it gives good lens protection) and the pictures appear very dark in the PC (but ajusted the luminosity to +0.5 and now they are perfect). Rechargeable batteries are essencial because it drains alcalines like I've never seen (8 alcaline in two days - about 80 pics and 3 movies)
