good idea, poor execution

  • Short Battery Life

    Comments about COOLPIX S800c Digital Camera (Black):

    I wish I had retuned this before the window had closed. I was disappointed that this camera performed so badly - awful battery life, software freezes, confusing controls (even compared to advanced DSLRs). Some really dumb design issues as well.

    The battery life is atrocious. For a real day of shooting, I'd say you'd need at least 3 of them, and at $22.09 a piece.

    Nikon does not include a stand-alone charger. You must charge this via USB either by a little dongle they give you or connected to any USB power source, which is a drag. An MH-65 charger will cost an additional $24.95.

    The Coolpix will not function while charging. You cannot even turn it on while the battery is charging, unlike almost every cell phone on the planet.

    Somewhat nonsensically – You cannot charge the battery AND transfer files via USB at the same time. It's one or the other. Again, another no-brainer that most camera phones are capable of.

    Build Issues

    I've had the camera for a week, and after normal use of keeping it in a pocket, the screen is notably scratched up, which is disappointing.

    The three buttons, home, menu and back, are tiny, I find myself having a hard time pressing them without concerted effort.

    The camera has an unusual small USB connector, which brings the number of USB connectors I need to make sure I have up to 4. USB stands for UNIVERSAL Serial Bus, remember?

    Insult to injury, I was only able to sell this thing for 1/3 of what I paid for it only a couple months prior.

    As a lifelong Nikon person, I'm annoyed.

        Comments about COOLPIX S800c Digital Camera (Black):

        Nice camera, especially after updating the firmware so the wifi works better. The image stabilization is a good feature and I like the focusing system. For photos I want to share I set the megapixels down to 9 which is still a lot better than the photos I took with an iPod and then they'll send quicker too. For highest quality photos and/or lots of them, it's more practical to pop out the memory card and copy them to my coputer via a card reader.

        Overly complicated controls

              Comments about COOLPIX S800c Digital Camera (Black):

              The controls for this camera are unnecessarily complicated and make taking pictures a more cumbersome process than I experience with other cameras. Also, it is disappointing that the only way to charge the battery is by opening a flimsy USB cover on the camera itself that will eventually wear out. I prefer having a battery charger.
