We have seen how technology
rises and Nikon has released the newest and the first Android-powered camera
the “Nikon Coolpix S800c”. It’s really meant to link the worlds of mobile
technology and cameras like nothing had before. With Coolpix S800c, you can
have access to most apps for photo editing, sharing and shooting from a devoted
camera.
As most of us know,
smartphones swiftly develop into the most challenging to face the conventional
compact digital camera since they have emerged in the market first. Nikon have
stand up to this challenge to develop a camera that would become responsive to
the masses, and now they introduce the Nikon Coolpix S800c. The first major
camera manufacturer to widely open an Android mobile based operating system.
Smartphones are more
persuasive as a photographic tool due to some reason. One of them is that, the
devices are well connected to mobile data services that allow automatically
uploading and sharing images. In addition, the benefit has come from those emerging
apps and platforms with lots of third-party apps that would add new
capabilities to the device that can be used. From those social networks like
instagram, twitter, facebook, etc. to games like the most played Angry Birds.
The S800c is a full Android
2.3 (Gingerbread OS) device; it means that it can run through any apps
equivalent to what a smartphone can offer. So you can improve images through
Photoshop Express. Furthermore, there’s nothing could pass with a quick game of
your choice from Temple Run or Angry Birds.
The Coolpix S800c as a compact
camera still got the advantage through its larger sensors (having a better
image quality, particularly in lower light), and the standard optical zooms a
greater photographic flexibility, and also comes with a removable memory,
having an easily expand and swap storage of your camera as what most
smartphones could give. It offers the same 10x zoom lens and 16MP backlit CMOS
sensor as Coolpix S6300 has, a great device of a compact camera capability and
a full-function tablet computer.

As OS is concern, Gingerbread
isn’t the latest version of Android, with 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) taking hold
on flagship smartphones and 4.1 (Jelly Bean), though it’s the most commonly
supported. Nikon isn’t that clear on whether it may upgrade to one of Android’s
newer versions operating system, which enables users to use Chrome web browser.
Most current apps are compatible on Android 2.3 OS.
As Nikon been the first to
release the Android-powered digital camera than Samsung camera. If Nikon
continues down to this path and hoping it does, with a more advance versions of
Android merging with more sophisticated cameras. It would lead to a better
digital control that comes next from the shuttering speed and white balance,
augmented-reality games that take advantage of the optical zoom, and more…
Those would be an exciting promises
and an edge over the growth of the new smart camera era. As a start, people
need to respond to the Nikon Coolpix S800c and to convince the masses of an
idea that a digital camera would behave like a smartphone. Would you do believe
digital camera will rise with a different edge of innovation?
