Want to surf the web on your camera and upload your photos to social sites without having to take your SD card to a computer? Nikon has just announced a world first: The Android-powered S800c point-and-shoot camera with 25-250mm zoom can also play at being a mini tablet. I predicted the announcement in this article on August 9. The S800c will sell in Britain for £150.
The point-and-shoot camera market has been badly hit by competition from smartphones. The iPhone 4s has an astoundingly good camera when you consider that photography is such a small part its arsenal. While higher-end pro-sumer and professional cameras have been increasing sales, cheaper products have been floundering. Nikon clearly hopes that the S800c will kickstart the lower end of the market.
