Nikon Digital Camera Morphs Into Projector Too
A digital camera that turns into a projector? Seems odd but it is true. 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. Maybe Nikon found that folks were not viewing their digital images the other ways, through their TV, on their computer, sharing them with friends, so they decided to go old school and make a slide show on the wall.
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.
