These days, compact camera manufacturers are fighting what is pretty much a losing battle with phone makers to produce a quick snapping tool.

As mobile phones begin to penetrate what once was “camera-only” ground, the proliferation of such smartphones is said to be the demise of compact camera sales. The solution? Camera inoculation. At least that's where the Nikon Coolpix S800c has gone -...
Responsive touchscreen, capable 10x optical zoom, better-than Smartphone pictures, browsing plus apps and sharing all possible, 1.7GB internal storage
Too expensive, battery life not good enough, slow start-up time, no manual controls
Conceptually courageous, the Android OS feels like it’s forged rather than forced into this camera concept. Android - even version 2.3 - works as a great base to run apps, share images and much more.

Android isn't just an operating system for phones and tablets. It can form the basis of all sorts of gadgets, such as music players, smart TV boxes and in the case of the Nikon Coolpix S800c, a camera.

The Nikon Coolpix S800c sounds like a wonderful idea on paper, but in practice, it’s a jack of all trades and a master of none. Nikon’s lack of smartphone experience really shows here: the old hardware, out of date software and lack of tight...

The Nikon Coolpix S800c is a digital camera powered by Android, has 10x optical zoom, Wi-Fi and 16 megapixel sensor. Daniel Bell reviews.
Android OS makes the S800c much more than just a camera; Large, easy-to-use touch screen; Decent image quality with good colour reproduction; GPS & Wi-Fi; Good amount of optical zoom; Can connect to an iOS device via Wi-Fi
10cm minimum focusing distance means you can't get really close for macro shots
