Nikon announces world’s first projector camera

Nikon Coolpix S1000pj

Nikon has announced a world’s first for the camera world – a compact coupled with a built-in projector.

The Coolpix S1000pj has a 12.1-megapixel sensor, 5x wide-angle optical zoom and EXPEED digital processing as in the company’s DSLR range, but most interesting is the 10 lumen LED integrated projector that can create up to 40-inch VGA-quality picture.

In fact you can use the projector for not only photos but slideshows with effects and music, and Nikon include a stand and a remote for ease of operation.

The Coolpix S1000pj is a move that’s certain to shake up both the projector and camera market, Nikon believes that the camera can project images up to 40 inches in size (and as low as 5 inches) and there’s also a remote control in the package, so you can set up your own image slideshow on the go.
