Android phones and
tablets have cameras
built-in but the OS is also
used to power standalone
snappers. By concentrating
Android’s power on getting
the most out of photos,
greater attention can be
focused on images. Users
can edit images direct on
their camera, share photos
with others via a network
connection and have
touchscreen control.
Samsung Galaxy Camera 2
This follow-up to a
much-loved debut camera
is a wonderful all-rounder,
packing a 16.3-MP,
1/2.33in sensor in a
package with a 1.6GHz
quad-core processor and
2GB RAM. It uses Android
4.3, has a 4.8-inch display
with 308ppi and you can
transfer pictures from the
camera to an NFC phone.
Nikon Coolpix S800c
Created by camera
experts Nikon, this
camera enables apps to
be downloaded from
Google Play. It has a 16-MP
sensor, 10x zoom and
3.5-inch OLED as well as
full HD videos, but the fact
that a major camera
manufacturer sees the
benefi ts of introducing
Android shows the impact
the OS is making.
