What we like about Nikon COOLPIX S810c

  • Full Android operating system allows the download of apps directly from the Google Play Store
  • Large and bright 3.7-inch high-resolution touchscreen display
  • Built-in Wi-Fi and GPS for seamless photo sharing and location geotagging
  • Compact, lightweight, and pocket-friendly body design
  • Versatile 12x optical zoom lens with functional hybrid vibration reduction

What we don't like about Nikon COOLPIX S810c

  • Short battery life that drains quickly due to the demands of the Android operating system
  • Complete lack of manual focus and manual exposure control options
  • Small 1/2.3-inch sensor limits image quality in low-light and portrait settings
  • Does not support RAW file format format for post-processing
  • No cellular data connectivity, making internet sharing entirely dependent on Wi-Fi networks

Verdict

The Nikon Coolpix S810c is a unique hybrid compact camera featuring a 16-megapixel 1/2.3-inch BSI-CMOS sensor and a 12x optical zoom NIKKOR lens (25-300mm equivalent) with lens-shift vibration reduction. Its standout characteristic is the integration of the Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean operating system, which provides access to the Google Play Store for direct photo sharing and app usage via built-in Wi-Fi and GPS. Main pros include a large 3.7-inch 1,229k-dot touchscreen LCD, fast 8.1 fps continuous shooting, 1080/30p Full HD video with stereo sound, and a versatile 2cm macro mode. However, notable cons include its relatively short battery life of approximately 270 shots, the lack of RAW file support, and an absence of manual exposure or focus controls.
