How To Save Someone Else's Reel To Camera Roll

UPDATE: Nikon just announced its Android-powered COOLPIX s800c digital camera. (See epitome below) Y'all tin notice more information and technical specification for the Nikon s800c on the visitor'due south website.

When digital cameras actually started taking off, nosotros as a consumer culture got all worked upward. Lately, all the same, we've grown bored with our point-and-shoots. The newness wore off, and the excitement is no more than. Call up about it: When was the last time you stared into the lens of an actual photographic camera?

Android devices, iPhones and other smartphones are slowly but surely killing the meaty betoken-and-shoot digital camera.

In fact, Apple's iPhone 4 and 4S smartphones are the most pop digital camera models among Flickr users, ahead of traditional Catechism and Nikon cameras. And shipments of compact point-and-shoot cameras declined in 2011, according to inquiry house IDC, as more people opted for the convenience of smartphone cameras.

Only not and so fast. The digital camera industry is starting to fight back. Instead of folding to the threat of camera phones, some camera makers are building telephone cameras. It's a twist worthy of O. Henry.

At CES this past January, Polaroid showed off its SC1630 Android camera. The camera runs the Android Os, comes with the Google Play store pre-installed, and information technology has Bluetooth connectivity to share with external devices (including printers) and Wi-Fi for easy sharing via Facebook, Instagram, Twitter.

Polaroid could release SC1630 models with cellular connectivity, too. The camera too offers features that many smartphones lack, such every bit a 3X optical-zoom lens and 16 megapixels. (The camera is supposed to ship sometime this year for about $300.)

Nikon Rumors this calendar week leaked images of an Android-based Nikon Coolpix digital indicate-and-shoot camera. ~~Nikon hasn't officially announced the camera, just information technology will supposedly run Android 2.3 and all Google Play apps, as well as have congenital-in GPS and Wi-Fi~~.

There accept even been rumors that Apple is working on a point-and-shoot digital camera, though I'm a fleck skeptical of those reports.

At any rate, I'm hoping this trend takes off, and the sooner the better. Smartphone cameras are getting better all the time. Just y'all still forfeit a certain level of paradigm and flash quality, discontinuity and other manual controls, multiple optical zoom levels, and many other features that are standard outcome with digicams.

On the flip side, standard digital cameras would be much more compelling if y'all could, for instance, apply Instagram and a wealth of other effects and filters to your pictures and videos as yous record them, with all the goodies a digital camera offers and a smartphone doesn't. And then you could easily share your pics on your preferred social networks, which smartphones excel at but cameras don't. Imagine also having 64GB or more of built-in storage, a wider display like the Samsung Galaxy Note's 5.three screen and a 4G radio for sharing images wherever y'all are.

Now that would exist a digital camera to get excited well-nigh. Once again.
