14 DAY TRIAL // The Nikon Coolpix S800c may not exactly be a response to the Samsung Galaxy Camera, but the overall concept is similar even if the shape isn't quite the same on both ends.
Coolpix S800c has been launched in India and relies almost exclusively on a 3.5-inch OLED WVGA touchscreen for input.
We say almost because there are still four actual buttons on one side of the panel.
We'll leave the controls to buyers to figure out. Here we will mention that the product, equipped with a 10x optical zoom lens, is run by a 16-megapixel BSI CMOS image sensor.
Full HD video recording is a given (1080p) and the camera also integrated Wi-Fi and GPS, plus 4 GB of memory.
What's more, the Android 2.3 operating system permits everything from phone tethering to photo and app downloads from the Google Play Store.
“[The new Coolpix camera range] offers Nikon’s elemental technologies providing customers with newer options and brings more colorful and stylish choices during the upcoming festive season,” said Mr. Hiroshi Takashina, MD, Nikon.
