Polaroid announced camera running Android OS – in January 2012
I missed this: Aestesis, mobile things and all that stuff » Polaroid SC1630, Compact 16MP Camera with Android OS, the first SmartCamera.
- Last week, Samsung announced the Galaxy Camera, running Android 4.1 and featuring a quad core processor.
- New Nikon camera runs Android.
- Sony announced a app-capable camera – but it does not run Android.
Some rumor sites have said that an upcoming Panasonic Lumix GH-3 camera will feature its own custom software platform as well, enabling third parties to add additional capabilities to the camera. Just a rumor.
Micro four thirds astro photography
While the big full frame cameras have become popular for low light photography, a South African astronomer who says he’s not much of a photographer, created this gorgeous astrovideo using an Olympus E-P3 micro 4/3ds camera. Smaller frame sensors can, apparently, achieve excellent results in low light.
Apps for your camera! Coming soon!
All the camera world goes into the Application support hype! | Mirrorless Rumors.
Everyone announces support for “smart cameras” with installable apps.
Hey, at CES 2012 I spoke with every camera manufacturer present on the floor and persuasively told them why they needed to provide support for camera apps. I will, of course, take full credit for this revolution in cameras! (I am positive that no one else thought of this! Hah!)
Do new Nokia phones eliminate CMOS “jello effect”?
The shakiness in this video ought to produce a lot of CMOS jello – but it doesn’t: Nokia’s unsafe cyclist promises ‘things are about to change’ in confusing new teaser (video) — Engadget.
Could this be a hint that Nokia’s new phones have a global shutter or use a CCD perhaps to eliminate the wobble? My current phone and my small sensor CMOS cameras all have terrible CMOS jello at the slightest camera movements.
The other possibility is that the “things about to change” are that with the PureView technology, they will include some great image stabilization built in – and the next version of this video will be smooth. That would be very cool!
Update: There’s rumor that Nokia will introduce something called PureMotion HD – which sounds a lot like using the 41 MP sensor to create image stabilized HD video, which would be really great.
