Camera Overview — Nikon S80

The Nikon COOLPIX S80 is a point-and-shoot compact camera built around a 14MP, 1/2.3-inch sensor and a standout 3.5-inch OLED touchscreen with 819,000 dots of resolution. The touchscreen interface makes navigating the camera's extensive color profile options genuinely intuitive — ten creative modes are on offer, ranging from Standard and Vivid through to Cyanotype, High Key, Low Key, and Nostalgic Sepia, giving casual shooters a meaningful variety of in-camera looks without post-processing. Maximum still resolution comes in at 4320x3240 pixels, and burst mode is supported, though the maximum burst frame rate of 0.9fps is modest.

Image stabilization is handled via Optical OIS, with digital IS available as a supplementary option. Video capability tops out at 720p with frame rate options of 30fps or 15fps, recorded in 8-bit color. The camera accepts SD, SDHC, and SDXC memory cards and connects to other devices via USB and Micro HDMI.

Autofocus uses contrast detection with subject tracking enabled. The EN-EL10 rechargeable Li-ion battery is rated for approximately 150 shots per charge. The body is constructed from a plastic/metal composite, measures 98.8 x 62.6 x 16.5mm, and weighs 133g, making it genuinely pocketable.

No weather sealing is present, and there is no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connectivity.
