Tangentially related: I find that being able to run android apps on my camera (not my phone with its tiny lens) is extremely useful. I bought the Samsung galaxy camera 2, but I don't know of any other such product.
- microcolonel 9y agoNot saying this solves anything, but Samsung also did the Samsung Galaxy NX a year before the Galaxy Camera 2. It's sorta a DSLR-shaped detachable lens camera that runs Android.
- amiga-workbench 9y agoMy Sony A6000 has a limited Android Runtime on it, for some reason that thing has a bunch of "apps" available.
- pawelk 9y agoFrom a cursory Google search: Nikon COOLPIX S800c, Panasonic Lumix DMC-CM10. So the big players are investing in Android. This just shows how different users have different needs. I do not want my camera to be "smart", I want it to measure the amount of light that comes trough the lens, tell me if it's too much or too little, then capture and save the data on some storage. I can take it from there. My ideal solution would be something like the failed Siliconfilm project which was a digital sensor you'd put into an analog camera 35mm film compartment.
- agravier 9y agoThanks for the search Pawel, for some reason these didn't appear in my searches. Yes, different needs. Actually the reason why I want android is mostly that I automate the upload of new photos to Amazon.
