From Nikon UK:

The Android Camera
With its Android OS, the Coolpix S800c camera can become a fully-fledged entertainment centre. Download all the latest apps from Google Play to access social media updates from friends, get directions and information about the local area when you’re on the move, or play a game while you travel: the possibilities are endless.

Photos they will 'LIKE'
To ensure sharp shooting in any situation, the Coolpix S800c has a highly sensitive back illuminated CMOS image sensor so that even in low light or extremely bright conditions, the camera will easily capture the scene, while the EXPEED C2 image processing system and superior auto-focusing ensures quick response. So when you want to share a spontaneous moment with friends, you can be sure that you will share the experience exactly as you remember it.

The Nikkor wide-angle 10x optical zoom lens (25–250mm) with ED glass enables superior sharpness and colour whatever situation you’re in, whether you want to zoom out and capture the whole scene, or get up close and personal for a perfect portrait shot. Meanwhile, advanced blur-reduction technology minimises the effects of subject movement, low light and camera shake.

A smart touch
As sensitive as the best touchscreens out there, the anti-reflective, ultra-high resolution 8.7 cm (3.5-in) OLED (819K-dot) touch screen with wide viewing angle makes operating the S800c simple and fun. Scroll through your photos, and select and edit any that you want to get creative with.
