Nikon: a new camera on Android


After a Nikon S800c that has not marked the spirits, Nikon tries again to launch a camera on Android. S810c is the first camera, with classic features: illuminated CMOS sensor 16 million pixels (1/2, 3 inches), 25-300 mm lens in 35mm equivalent (12x zoom so) and 3 ISO 200 at maximum. He filmed in 1080p30 and has a microSD and a internal memory of 1GB location for photos.

For the Android part, we have a 3.7-inch 720 x 480 LCD technology. The processor is based on Cortex A9, no further details (hopefully at least a dual core 1.2 GHz), and the device has 4GB of internal memory. This memory, there is 1 GB for applications, approximately 1 GB for photos and the rest is in principle reserved for Android 4.2.2, which runs the unit. In terms of connectivity, it has Wi-Fi (11n), a headphone jack, a microUSB socket and microHDMI output.

 

This camera's main advantage is its price: 300 €. But for the rest, cameras Android Samsung (or rather smartphones oriented photo) are more technically interesting, as the latest smartphones of the brand, which have a 16-megapixel sensor. For those who want to send photos via Instagram and social networks in general, the solution of Nikon may seem interesting, but limited technical capacity and the use of a system already exceeded (Android 4.4 is beginning to be implemented) which concern the worst.
