After mobile phones and tablet computers, the operating system Android is now venturing into the digital camera. Nikon COOLPIX S800c
is the first compact cameras from Nikon that uses the Android operating system.As a camera, S800c NIKKOR lens is equipped with a 10x optical zoom (25-250mm) and technology VR (Vibration Reduction) to produce images and HD video is sharp and not blurred. CMOS sensor BSI (Backside Illuminated) 16 MP and EXPEED C2 processor is ready to provide the images and the best video. S800c can also record Full HD 1080p video with stereo sound. Settings can be made using OLED touch screen measuring 3.5 inches. There is also an integrated GPS to mark the location in the photos and video.
On the software side, S800c likely use Android version specially made for this Nikon camera. To enter the application, using the S800c Wi-Fi connection and have supported Google Play. So you can use the S800c like Android-based multimedia devices such as the Samsung Galaxy S Wi-Fi. You can also send pictures and video to a smartphone or other tablet using Wi-Fi connection is.

I myself feel that the appeal of the Android operating system in the camera is opening up the possibility to use the Android image processing applications are pretty much available. It should be recognized that there is no software in the camera that offers easy photo editing features and a sophisticated smartphone. Looks like we're a matter of time before there are other vendors that offer products with similar operating systems.
