Nikon Coolpix S800 is an Android-powered camera

Looks like Nikon is getting into the game by announcing an Android-powered point-and-shoot camera (and calls it the Nikon Coolpix S800c).

This 16-megapixel shooter runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread and record up to 1080p full HD videos into its 4GB internal storage.

The S800c also has the ability to run a local network via WiFi so you can connect it with another phone (and probably laptop as well) for transferring files.

We just can’t figure out what other inherent benefits an Android system can bring to a camera. Probably camera apps? Could this be the first Instagram-certified camera? The LCD is touchscreen capable and we’re seeing Google Play pre-installed in the unit.

Earlier this year, Polaroid released the first Android camera so Nikon is probably the second one in this market.

The Nikon Coolpix S800c will retail for $350 when its released.
