Nikon Coolpix S1000pj Digital Camera Projector

Digital cameras carve out new ways of displaying and sharing pictures. Arriving in time for Christmas 2009, the Nikon Coolpix S1000pj is a 12-megapixel digital camera with a built-in projector. Take a picture. View it on the built-in 2.7-inch screen. Then you can project it (or all you’ve taken and stored on an SD card) on a wall or screen for all to see. It even includes a projector stand and a wireless remote!

With 5x Nikon optical zoom; the Coolpix S1000pj has a 28mm to 140mm (35mm equivalent) range from wide-angle to telephoto. Shoot landscapes, group shots, or come in for a close shot. The 12-megapixel photo-sensors deliver pictures with up to 4000×3000 pixel resolution. All images are stored on an optional and removable SDHC memory card plus 36MB memory is built-in to the camera.

You would imagine that integrating a projector into this camera would add significant size and weight. It doesn’t. The camera weighs at just about 5 ounces and has a compact 4 x 2.5 x 0.9 inch size.It has a menu of five image stabilization modes to help assure sharp pictures with vivid color and detail. The projector can display your pictures at 5 inches to about 40 inches in (diagonal) size on any wall or projector screen at a VGA resolution.

The Nikon Coolpix S1000pj provides a new and more spontaneous way of sharing digital pictures in a convenient all-in-one solution. It’s an easy-to-use camera, slim, lightweight, and fun. The S1000pj is due to be available around September 2009.
