Android is a portable Linux-based operating system. The first device that worked on it was the HTC T-Mobile G1 phone released in 2008. Now Android is used by such well-known brands as Aser, Sony, LG, etc.
Digital cameras provide higher quality images than phones with a camera function. However, this difference is gradually narrowing due to the improvement of technologies used to produce smartphones. Therefore, manufacturers are trying to expand the functionality of digital cameras by integrating operating systems into them. Nicon recently introduced the Nikon Coolpix S800c with Android 2.3 Gingerbread. This is not the most recent version of this operating system, but there is no upgrade option.
The camera is equipped with a wide-angle NIKKOR lens with a 10x magnification and a focal length of 25-250 mm, a 16-megapixel BSI CMOS sensor. The EXPEED C2 image processor and autofocus ensure high sensitivity and excellent photo quality. It is possible to shoot movies in HD quality in slow motion and fast motion. For storing images and videos, the camera has an internal memory of 1.7 GB, which can be expanded by connecting additional memory cards with a capacity of up to 32 GB in SD and SDHC format. Android 2.3 is powered by a Cortex A9 processor and 512MB of RAM. Moreover, the camera can work without starting the operating system. The control is carried out using a touchscreen display with a resolution of 819,000 points and a diagonal of 3.5 inches. The weight of the device is about 190 g, the overall dimensions are 111.4 x 60.0 x 27.2 mm. The model will be available in black and white.
The camera has a built-in Wi-Fi module that will allow you to immediately show off the footage on social networks, make a video call via Skype or download Google Play applications. With the help of the GPS module, you can make marks on the photos about the coordinates of the places where they were taken. When you turn off Wi-Fi, you can transfer photos to your phone or computer using Bluetooth. It also provides the ability to connect to a computer via a USB port.
Sales of new items will begin in September 2012. The recommended retail price of Nikon Coolpix S800c in the US will be $ 350, but, most likely, it will be higher in the Russian market.
