If you are a techno lover and love every bit of technology, then this would be the best to date for you. This is all about the photography world and here you are going to see something innovative and a merged photography gadget, Nikon Coolpix S800. What’s new here? This is the very first Android based digital camera from Nikon which is more like a smartphone, having all kind of Smartphone’s functionality with it. Let’s grab some more details of this amazing digicam.
This camera is there to give serious competition to the smartphones’ manufacturers – Nikon is all set to rule the photography world with this new smartphone’s operating system’s functionality. I think you all might well aware of world’s most popular mobile operating system, Android. Nikon has merged this OS into its new device named Nikon Coolpix S800C. This device has a lot in it having some cool features which will surely make you amazed.
Nikon Coolpix S800C is the very first camera by Nikon which has Android Gingerbread 2.3 Operating system along with some more connectivity option through Wi-Fi and others. After hearing its functionality you will really want to buy one – right? It carries out standing functionality with it. All the work which you are doing on your smartphone is also done by this device.
Imagine waiting for a shot and playing fruit ninja on the same device, or even managing to have a Skype video call. Once a picture is taken, editing and sharing it instantly with Instagram on Facebook, twitter, etc, is simple.
Nikon Coolpix looks the same as the smartphone from the back side. It has a 3.5 inch WVGA OLED touchscreen, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS for providing smarter connectivity options and for easy image share, along with 2GB of internal memory, out of which only about 700mb is meant for the applications. There is an option for expanding its memory through memory card slot. Let me make things clear, this is not a smartphone!
It boasts a 16 megapixel CMOS sensor, a 25-250mm equivalent F3.2-5.8 lens, 10x optical zoom, up to 8fps continuous shooting, and Full HD 1080p 30fps (frames per second) video recording capability. While there are hundreds of good features there are also a few faults in this device.
Processing is much slower as it loads up with some heavy duty features with it. It’s not so good in the professional photography as it has a small screen which is not appropriate for professional photography. Plus it has not a good display to let load up your mood with it.
There are a lot of apps being running by this cam and hence it does not have a good battery backup. GPS, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, the Android OS and Apps will shorten its battery life. If you want to explore a new world of photography, this would be the initial way of getting started with photography.
This Smart camera is available for $349.95 in USA, £219 in Europe. It’s a worthy device for all the photo freaks out there.
