First week of August, I read about the rumor that Nikon will going to launch its first Android-powered camera and yes, the rumor was right. Nobody wants to pay $350 for a low-end point-and-shoot camera and not for it's built in WiFi connection. But, Android Fans will surely give it a try!!
The $350 / 280-300+ Euro Coolpix S800c (set to ship in October 2012) has Android 2.3 aka Gingerbread is better at this thanks to the 10x optical zoom and the 16-megapixel CMOS sensor. The 3.5-inch AMOLED screen still makes the product resemble a phone, to a certain extent, when beholding it from behind.
Internet access is available, for one, via the built-in Wi-Fi connection. Once it is set up (just like on an Android phone), it permits images to be posted on social networking sites (Google+, Facebook, and Twitter), among other things.
The S800c provides access to a vast world of applications for games, productivity and personal communication/ email, including Nikon’s photo storage and sharing site, my Picturetown®. Users are also able to watch video downloaded from Google Play right on their camera.
