[Ssc-dev] Nixon Coolpix Android point and shoot

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

This is very good news for the whole SCC family of projects.  I heard
from a couple different sources that phones are very limited as cameras
in situations like Syria because they lack a meaningful zoom lens.  So
you have to be crazy to get good footage in many situations because you
have to be so close to actually see what's happening.
