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.
