Ah. I didn't realize you were looking to install arbitrary android apps on a camera.

That does exist. Samsung used to make android interchangeable lens cameras, and now Yongnuo does.

I owned that Samsung camera (Samsung Galaxy Camera)! Samsung made ONE model and then abandoned it.

It was awesome for its time, I could make pictures at a party, upload them to Picassa right away, and share them with a friend. It had a GPS receiver (a thing that cameras STIL!!!!! lack) so I had automatic geotagging.

I tried to get YN455, but they don't sell them in the US and apparently it doesn't even have proper English localization. I do speak some Mandarin, but I still want something localized.
