My Nikon CoolPix S560 has worked great since I bought it about 2 1/2 yrs ago. I know how to set everything, the battery is fine and charged. Natural light photos are fine. Just recently in the middle of an event the flash just stopped working. I reset everything to default to try and 'trick' it back into working. I suspect the flash bulb is burnt out? Is this possible? If so, is it worth fixing? or just buying an entire new camera at this point?

Yes, the flash can burn out or the flash circuit can short out. You can send it in for service but, since it's out of warranty, it will be very expensive. B&H photo has a refurbished one for $70. If you send yours in, what you will get back is a refurbished one....they do not bother to fix point-and -shoot cameras. Your choice.

I just bought a new battery for my Nikon CoolPix S560 and when I put the battery in, I am getting the message Memory card is write protected. How to I get rid of this?

Look at your memory card. SD cards have a slide switch along one edge. The position farthest from the contacts locks the card, protecting it from writes. The position nearest the contacts unlocks the card.

Nikon E5700 digital camara. Camara turns on, everything looks good, shutter opens but only see black through the view finder, monitor and will only take black pictures. I reset camera to factory...

There is a service advisory out for Nikon E5700.

t has come to our attention that in a limited number of COOLPIX 3100, 3500, 4500, 5000, 5400, 5700 and SQ digital cameras, an electronic component may, in some instances, fail affecting your camera's performance and/or operability.

While only a limited number of COOLPIX 3100, 3500, 4500, 5000, 5400, 5700 and SQ digital cameras are affected by this advisory, if your camera presents symptoms that can include (1) images with a strong color tint, (2) images that are totally black and/or (3) images with visible defects, Nikon will, upon confirmation that the problem is associated to this Service Advisory, service your camera free of charge.
