As we reported earlier, Nikon's first Android powered camera is here.
Dubbed as Coolpix S800c, the camera will go on sale starting next month
for $350. There is no word on the India launch or the pricing as of now.
This
smart camera features a 10x optical zoom lens, 16 megapixel BSI CMOS
sensor, 3.5-inch OLED WVGA touchscreen, and Android 2.3. It also comes
with Wi-Fi connectivity and supports
downloading Android apps via Google
Play Store. Nikon also bundles 'My Picture Town' app for uploading
images directly to its cloud storage.
The presence of outdated
Gingerbread is certainly a downside, when we have Ice Cream Sandwich as
well Jelly Bean out in the market.
The S800c comes with 18 filter
effects, including the new Toy Camera effect, Pop and Super Vivid color
filters, as well as Cross Process and Peripheral Darkening filters.
"With
the new Coolpix S800c, Nikon designed a camera for users looking to
capture stunning images and videos with a compact digital camera but
also want to share their content with their friends and family in a
familiar way," said Bo Kajiwara, Vice President of Marketing, Planning
and Customer Experience, Nikon Inc.
This is not the first
camera with Android on-board, Polaroid also showcased a smart camera
with Android at the Consumer Electronics Show earlier this year. Dubbed
as Polaroid SC1630, it featured 3X optical zoom, 18 scene modes and 3.2"
widescreen display.
