Leaked Photos of the Upcoming Android Powered Nikon Coolpix S800c na1 mini

A couple weeks ago, we shared a rumor that Nikon is working on a compact camera powered by Android OS (said to be version 2.3 Gingerbread). New leaked photos are revealing what the camera will look like.

First published by Nikon Rumors and Digicam-info, the camera will be called the Nikon Coolpix S800c, and will be available in black and white versions.

From the back, the camera looks very much like a chubby smartphone:

From the photos, we see that the camera will come in two varieties. One will have a 10x zoom lens, and the other will have a 12x lens. Both varieties will offer Wi-Fi, GPS, and HD video recording. They also reportedly feature a 3.5-inch OLED display.

This next photo is different from the rest, and shows the Nikon branding in a vertical orientation. We’re not sure why that is:

    For more direct competition with Canon’s IXUS line? In any case, this could address a few of my pet peeves with smart devices, namely the microscopic sensors and lack of decent optical zoom. Hopefully there’s a device down the line with full smart phone capabilities; I’d gladly buy one even if that meant keeping spare batteries in other pockets.

    Aw c’mon…. if the Android cams are 10 or 12x zooms, then the mysterious ‘vertical orientation’ phone is clearly something else. It hase a 4.1 – 12.3 mm lens, which my calculator says is just… 3x zoom! Surely it’s running on Symbian?

    When this camera will be updated to Jelly Bean? =)

    The next-to-last image of the black camera with the branding in a vertical orientation is clearly a different camera to all the other images. Direct comparison with the final image shows that the black / vertical-branded camera lacks the “bulge” around the lens as shown in all the other images. I think you are looking at at least two cameras here if these have all come from the same leaked source.

    So, can it run Linux?

    Oh, wait….
