Nikon has announced the release of the Nikon Coolpix S1000pj. This new compact 12.1mp camera has one new trick up its sleeve. It is a projector as well.
With the touch of a button, users can project images and videos as large as 40 inches, playback pictures with music, effects and creative transitions. Additional features of the S1000pj include: 12.1 megapixels; a 5x Wide Angle Zoom-NIKKOR Glass Lens; ISO from 64-6400***; a 2.7-inch Wide Angle LCD display; 5-way VR Image Stabilization System; Subject Tracking; Scene Auto Selector Mode; Nikon’s Smart Portrait System and movie mode.
The COOLPIX S1000pj will be available in Matte Black, in September 2009, for $429.95 MSRP.
It sounds like a decent camera, good resolution, good low light abilities, wide angle and zoom, image stabilisation, tracking and so on. I think the projector is a cool idea. However there is a downside, just imagine what your typical rebellious teenager is going to do with this on a train…
My obsession with computerised technology began in High School when the schools first computer, an Apple IIe, arrived. Since then I have remained in the computer telecommunications industry for the last 25 Years, with a small break working in a Deli, while I tried to find myself. Once I realised I hadn’t really gone anywhere, whew! I got my shtick together, got married and sensibly agreed to blow all our savings and move to another country. I lived in London, and a few Months on and off in L.A, for three years. This gave me a great appreciation for history, architecture, philosophy and public transport.
When my wife and I returned to Melbourne, Australia we discovered we had accrued more savings. Obviously we were not doing our part to contribute to National Debt so we bought some land and started building a house. Well designing it anyway, that lasted a while and then we got a new designer, finally construction started and should be finished around October of 2009. It would go a lot quicker if my wife and I could be cured of our Gadget obsession. By day I work full time for an Online Payment company and by night don my alter-ego as a mild mannered reporter.
