Purported press images of Nikon’s upcoming Android-powered camera, the Coolpix S800c, hit the Web on Monday. The images were published by Nikon Rumors, and they don’t reveal any additional information. They do seem to confirm earlier reports that the camera will be equipped with a 3.5-inch OLED display and run Android 2.3 Gingerbread, however. Along with a 25-250mm zoom lens on the backside, the Coolpix S800c will feature built-in GPS for geo-tagging, Wi-Fi for easy uploading and access to the Google Play store. Nikon (NINOY) is rumored to announce the Coolpix S800c camera on August 22nd.

Nikon (7731) is reportedly preparing to announce its first Android powered compact camera, reportedly called the Coolpix S800 or S800c. According to Nikon Rumors, the camera will be equipped with a 3.5-inch OLED display and will run Android 2.3 Gingerbread. The device will also supposedly feature a 25-250mm zoom lens, built-in GPS and Wi-Fi, and it will have access to the Google Play store. This isn’t the first Android-based camera we have seen — Polaroid showed off the SC1630 Smart Camera at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show in January, but the device has yet to make its way onto the market. Nikon is rumored to announce the Coolpix S800 on August 22nd.
