Earlier
reports had hinted that an Android-powered camera was being developed by Nikon.
According to Nikonrumours, this Android-powered camera is the Nikon Coolpix
S800.
The Nikon
Coolpix S800 will supposedly come with a 25 to 250mm lens, 3.5-inch OLED
display, integrated GPS, and Wi-Fi connectivity. The reported Android-powered
camera will use the Gingerbread Android 2.3, which is way behind the current
version of the mobile OS, the Jelly Bean Android 4.1.
Access to
the Google Play store may add to the appeal of the Nikon Coolpix S800, which
may allow users to download apps into the device. This may give users something
to do while waiting for the perfect ‘Nikon’ moment that they can capture with
the supposed Android-powered camera from Nikon.
It remains
uncertain whether the report on the Nikon Coolpix S800 is authentic or not
since the site has not revealed its sources. However it did indicate that the
reported Nikon Coolpix S800 may be unveiled by August 22, which gives potential
buyers some time to save up for the device.
A number of
reports had also hinted at the possibility that Samsung will be releasing its
own Android-powered camera although nothing much was heard about these reports.
Although some industry watchers are looking forward to the release of the
reported Nikon S800, the performance of the product itself remains up in the
air following the hands-on experience on the Polaroid SC1630, which also
featured an Android OS.
Whether the
Nikon Coolpix S800 will perform well in the market or not remains to be seen
although it will be an interesting addition to the Android-powered devices that
are already in the market.
