Testurteil: "8.0/10"
Test: Einzeltest: Nikon COOLPIX S80 - Touch to Snap
Zitat: Pro: + Thin and stylish body
+ Large 3.5-inch OLED screen
+ Good image quality
Contra: - Sluggish and insensitive touchscreen
- Cumbersome user interface
- No physical zoom dial
The Nikon S80 scored massive points for having a slim and stylish exterior. The 3.5-inch OLED touchscreen is a great addition, but we found it to be quite a battery drainer (the supplied EN-EL10 Lithium-ion battery is rated at 150 shots). Nonetheless, colors were vibrant, and viewing angles were wider compared to its LCD-equipped competitors. However, it was penalized in the usability department, no thanks to the sluggish and unresponsive touch interface, and a menu that can be intimidating to a newcomer. Moreover, the zoom controls can only be operated through the touchscreen - which in our opinion, further hampers the photography experience.
Performance-wise, the S80 exhibited good resolution, decent noise control, and very good sharpness across the entire zoom range. We were also pleased with its in-camera picture editing functions, the decent subject tracking performance, and its superb macro shooting capability (you can go as near as 7 cm). It can also record 720p HD movies (with stereo sound) and output them via HDMI. All that said, at S$549, we feel that the camera is a little on the pricey side of things. Still, if you´re searching for a point-and-shoot compact camera that takes good quality images, do give the S80 a look.
