    Nikon Crams Projector Into Compact Camera

    coolpix pj nikonRemember the odd rumor from yesterday regarding a new Nikon pocket camera with a built-in projector? It turns out that it was spot on. Today Nikon has announced the S1000pj, and along with a nice, big 2.7” screen, a 12.1 megapixel sensor, there’s a VGA projector inside.

    The camera looks to be a solid picture-taker, with a top ISO setting of 6400 (at three megapixels), a 5x zoom and both optical and electronic image stabilization, but the projector is the real story here, the first that we know of in a consumer camera. It’ll throw images of up to 40-inches onto a wall up to two meters away, and comes with a remote control and stand to help. Useful for impromptu slideshows, and quite excellent for playing back movies of, say, requests for intergalactic help. $430.

    Don’t say “Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi, You’re my only hope.”

    Very cool little gadget! I can see this catching on with other "Bebo/Facebook cameras"...

    Well of course this is an absolute aberration towards photography - you wouldn't find that on me trusty kodak brownie I tells ya, but isn't it just mad great all the same.

    I hope they never install one on a DSLR but oh what fun. Gadget extreme. Cool.

    Imagine the fun you could have on the Charleville Castle meet up - in the dead of night (dead being the operative term).
