Camera Overview — Nikon Coolpix S800c

The Nikon COOLPIX S800C is a point-and-shoot compact camera built around a 16MP, 1/2.3-inch sensor powered by the EXPEED C2 image processor. It covers an ISO range of 125 to 3200, giving shooters reasonable flexibility across different lighting conditions. One of the standout hardware features is the 3.5-inch OLED touchscreen, which delivers 819,000 dots of resolution — a notably large and vibrant display for a camera of this class.

The S800C shoots stills at a maximum resolution of 4608x3456 pixels and supports a burst mode capable of up to 8 frames per second, making it responsive for capturing fast-moving subjects. Autofocus is handled by a contrast-detection system with 9 focus points and subject tracking. On the video side, the camera records up to 1080p at 30fps in 8-bit color.

Connectivity options include Wi-Fi, USB, and Mini HDMI output — a notable set of connections for a compact. Image stabilization is digital/electronic rather than optical. The body is constructed from plastic/composite materials, weighs 184g, and measures 111.4 x 60.0 x 27.2 mm.

Storage relies on SD and SDHC cards, and the EN-EL12 Li-ion battery is rated for approximately 140 shots per charge. No viewfinder is present.
