I've owned this camera for a few weeks now, and I'm pleased to report that taking price into account, the performance is outstanding ... you would have to spend serious money to better this product, and those that might knock it probably have.
To get the best from this camera you'll need to up it one notch to its highest resolution setting, for general use the factory preset is perfectly okay though.
Buy a UV filter for even better results. Macro and super Macro settings produce impressive results, and the range of features will please many. The LCD is much better than the 5600 giving you a far better idea of pictures taken, but once you're home and viewing your shots via PC you will be impressed with Colour, depth and overall sharpness.
weak points are glare and colour cast at extreme zoom, though using a UV filter almost clears the problem completely. The S5700 works well in low light, and if things are too dark, the popup flash keeps colour balance and contrast natrual. give this camera good light i.e. creative photographic light (early morning/early evening) you'll be rewarded with superb shots.
This camera can with care, produce `Pro` results without breaking the bank, though light, it feels very well made and fits nicely in the hand with easy thumb control of most options.
I like that you gave advice to buyers in this review, i would buy this product based on your review :)

Your review was based on good facts, it had a lot of content in only a few paragraphs. Some things however, were left out, but your review is definitely helpful.
