Hit Or Miss Quality & Functionality,
The camera just came out but doesn’t live up to the hype and reviews I had read. This is based on about 2 weeks of use, indoor and outdoor, including an indoor speaker event, a large outdoor rally on the mall in Washington DC, a party, a hike in a park during autumn, and various other activities. The camera is physically well-designed and manufactured with quality materials & construction.
Biggest Issue: picture quality is hit-or-miss, mostly miss. Quality for both color and sharpness was occasionally excellent, and typically like a cell-phone camera. There are over a dozen interesting settings, such as sports and landscape modes, and they didn’t help enough to solve the picture quality & consistency issue.
Other Cons:
most of the controls are on-screen, and these are not always fast to operate (such as zoom in & out, and changing photo settings)
menu system is not as helpful or intuitive as it could be, so sometimes it was easier to turn off and on instead of navigating.
the camera has internal memory that always came up first when reviewing photos… had to click through several menu options to view today’s photos by date just to see the most recent photo taken. And everyone wants to see how they look in the photo you just took, so it wasted a lot of time.
video is HD but grainy at times
auto-focus seemed slow to kick in at times (this may be setting-dependent)
time stamp on video files was different by several hours and minutes from the time stamp for photos (on Win 7 PC).
Pros:
Pinch-and-zoom touchscreen works nicely
the optical zoom is all inside the camera, and will stay clean… and worked well.
when it took nice photos, the 10+ megapixels were nice to have for printing, cropping, etc.
small and slim
has some internal memory
boots up fast enough
Overall the camera works okay for taking photos & video, but appears to almost be defective in execution. Given the price (upper 200′s) it is not going to be kept (even if I have to eat the cost of returning it plus Amazon’s fee of apparently 15% for opened items.) Researching the other new Nikon – Nikon Coolpix P7000 10.1 MP Digital Camera with 7.1x Wide Zoom-Nikkor ED Lens and 3-Inch LCD.
Original Review Nov 10, 2010.
Update Nov 24, 2010: I bought the Nikon Coolpix P7000 and it has the superb quality & features that I hoped would have been better delivered in the S80. I’ve sent the S80 back to Amazon.
Also, since this camera comes in many colors, check the reviews of other colors (Nikon Coolpix S80 14.1 MP Digital Camera with 3.5-Inch OLED Touch Screen and 5x Wide Zoom-Nikkor ED Lens (Red) (many reviews) , Nikon Coolpix S80 14.1 MP Digital Camera with 3.5-Inch OLED Touch Screen and 5x Wide Zoom-Nikkor ED Lens (Black) ). Hope this review is helpful to you as you shop.

Better than most,
I have had 2 compact camera’s and boy have they been horrible. This camera was more than I wanted to spend but it was worth it! It is not going to be one of those camera’s that take great pictures in fast motion, but it does take pictures when someone is moving which is more than I can say for other small cameras. The other feature that I really liked was it did not take FOREVER to take a picure in the dark and for me to view it. If you want an awesome camera, well you will have to buy the larger more expenive ones, but for an easy to carry and understand, good camera, this one I liked.
