Nikon Coolpix S800c (Black) price range: $246.95 - $249.99
- Reviewed by: Joshua Goldman
- Reviewed on: 10/26/2012
The good: The Nikon Coolpix S800c is a good-looking point-and-shoot running on Android with a nice touch screen, Wi-Fi, GPS, and full access to the Google Play store and all the apps and content you'd find on other Android devices.
The bad: The S800c feels like a camera with an Android smartphone tacked on, and a slow and old one at that. Battery life is very short. Photo quality isn't any better than its far less expensive line mate, the Coolpix S6300.
The bottom line: The Nikon Coolpix S800c marries an above-average point-and-shoot with the functionality of an Android device with mixed results.

good idea, bad execution
by jb3313 on January 22, 2013
Pros: wifi connectivity
Cons: really bad battery life, buggy software, slow performance between software and camera, non-intuitive controls, camera freezes, internal battery, cannot be used while plugged in.
Summary: Quite unhappy, paid $350 for the thing and was only able to sell it for $125 a couple months later. Maybe fun for a teenager to play around with, but ...

Nikon Repair Policy Holds Consumers Hostage

Summary: In 2012, Nikon enacted a new and ugly repair policy. Nikon no longer sells its parts to independent consumers or to independent camera dealers. If, for example, you drop your camera and damage the LCD screen, you will not be able to purchase a replacement screen to fix the camera yourself nor will you be able to work with a reputable camera dealer in your area. If a Nikon camera needs repair, it must be shipped to the Nikon Repair Center. This policy holds the consumer hostage as the cost of shipping, parts, and unnecessary labor will come close to the cost of a brand new camera. If you are capable of making your own repairs or if you have a reputable camera dealer in your area, do not buy Nikon. Change.org is hosting an on-line petition to encourage Nikon to revert to its more consumer friendly policies of the past.
