Today, we see projectors everywhere. Rumors of projection devices being implanted in cell phones, projectors in high school class rooms, offices, and everywhere in between, show that our personal technology is on a rapid rise.
Nikon has unveiled their new camera, the S100pj, as a point-and-shoot-and-project camera. It is officially the worlds first camera with projection capability. Now pictures takers no longer need to upload their pictures to a computer in order to see a larger version than the one on the 2.7 inch LCD screen.
The projector is capable of producing a 5 to 40 inch picture, from a maximum distance of 6 feet, 6 inches at 640x480 resolution. Battery life with the projector in use is said to be 1 hour with a full charge.
The camera takes photos at 12.1 mega pixels. Zoom on the camera is only 5x so users won't be taking pictures from significant distances. It has all of Nikon's newest camera features, which include, image stabilization, motion detection, scene auto selector, and Nikon's Smart Potrait System. The S1000pj is running at $425.99 on their website.
Overall the camera is a great compact, point-and-shoot. But instead of everyone crowding over your shoulders trying to see the pictures you just took, they will be looking at the wall at a 40 inch projection of the pictures and video from the camera. Now there will be one more thing to watch when your driving past people's SUV's and vans on the freeway, kids projecting pictures onto the back of their parents seats in the car.
