Color Name:Blue|Amazon Verified Purchase
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) ).

Color Name:Red
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.

Color Name:Red|Amazon Verified Purchase
I purchased the Nikon S80 two-and-a-half months ago, and I have shot about a thousand shots with it. I bought it because I wanted a camera that performed decently, and had a slim body so that it could be easily carried in a jacket or suit pocket. I give it four stars because it provides what I expected from a small, sleek camera, and fits a niche in my camera stable which was missing. I have had a few bad shots, but frankly most of these bloopers were due to my own fault in not practicing enough with the camera and exploring its capabilities.
I am shortly leaving on a trip, and wanted to carry a point-and-shoot with me for quick shots when I was not carrying my larger Canon EOS Rebel T1i 15.1 MP CMOS Digital SLR Camera with 3-Inch LCD (Body Only). I put it to a head-to-head comparison with my Canon Powershot SD990IS 14.7MP Digital Camera with 3.7x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Silver) "point-and-shoot", and found that the images on the Canon were perceptibly sharper, shooting a blank stucco wall on my house, with overcast lighting. A tripod was used for all shots. I shot at various ISO's, and the results on the Canon were consistently better quality. To be fair, the Nikon has a fixed lens, and the Canon has a more sophisticated system. But, of course, the Canon was more bulky.
Here are the pros:
1. The camera has such a slim body that it can be easily be carried in a suit or shirt pocket without any bulk. It is a pretty little camera.
2. The touch screen is large, and gives a good view of the subject to be photographed.
3. The touch screen controls are easy to get used to, and the lack of ability to fine tune the shutter speed and aperture make shooting pretty simple.
4. The software which accompanies the camera is very good and user friendly.
5. The ability to shoot by touching the screen is a nice feature.
6. The camera will charge when connected to the computer through the USB cable which is provided. If you are traveling with a laptop computer, you don't have to worry about carrying around bulky chargers and cords. The USB cable connection both charges and acts to transfer the photos from the camera to your computer.
7. The ability to record a memo with the shots is a nice feature.
8. Movies are of decent quality.
9. There is a 2-second timer (as well as a 10-second), which is nice for shots taken with a tripod where you just want to avoid camera shake which comes with depressing the shutter release.
And the Cons:
1. The quality of the photos is good, but the small fixed lens does not have the ability to deliver the sharpness you will get with a more complex lens system.
2. The touch screen is both a pro and a con. Sometimes you will trigger the shutter release inadvertently. But this is a minor problem, since the photos are digital and you can erase them at no cost. The touch screen electronics are not instantaneous, and sometimes there is a slight delay between the touch and the camera's response.
3. The lightness and lack of bulk is, again, both a pro and a con. The lack of bulk contributes to a fair amount of camera shake. The vibration reduction system helps with this, but in the movie mode you really need something like a tripod or monopod to steady the camera.
4. Without an eyepiece, you are at the mercy of the sunshine reflecting off the back of the touch screen. It is difficult to use in sunny conditions.
If you are looking for the ability to fine-tune your shots by working with the AV and TV settings, and require a lot of flexibility in how you set up your "point-and-shoot", this camera would probably not meet your needs. But if you are looking for a camera which scores high on portability, simplicity, good looks, and decent functioning on both still shots and movies, this camera may be for you.
