Nikon announced its latest Coolpix camera sporting Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean OS - the Coolpix S810c. This is Nikon’s second offering in the Android-based smart camera space after the S800c.  The Coolpix S810c will start selling in May for an MRP of $349 or approx Rs 21,000.   Nikon Coolpix S810c sports a 1/2.3-inch 16MP BSI CMOS sensor and has bumped up the optical zoom to 12x from 10x that was seen on S800c. The ISO range goes from 125-1600 with ISO 3200 being available only in the Auto mode. The hybrid vibration reduction combines lens-shift VR and electronic VR to help you get steady images.
