Nikon COOLPIX S1000pj Digital Camera Review
It's not often that we at Buy-n-Shoot.com get to splash around phrases such as ‘new invention,' ‘never seen before' and ‘world first' in our camera reviews, but alas, when the Nikon Coolpix S1000pj fell into our hands, we knew that was about change.
Nikon COOLPIX S1000pj Digital Camera Review
Indeed this camera is a novelty in the affirmative sense of the word: it is fresh, interesting and innovative and while consumers will initially be struck by its exciting and previously unseen ability to project images and movies onto flat surfaces, soon after they will realise the camera itself is...
Nikon Coolpix S1000pj
The S1000pj is perceived as a novelty camera from the outset, so shaking this image is relatively difficult. Fortunately, in practice the projector is quite good for its intended purpose and playing around with it to display movies and photos is a lot of fun.- It's home movie time
- Intuitive projector design
- Camera stand and remote included
- Image quality still needs improvement
- It's a lot of money for a compact camera
Nikon Coolpix S1000pj
To call 2009 the year of the camera gimmick is no overstatement. There have been some serious innovations, and some seriously good ideas, so when it comes to building a projector into a camera, which category does it fall into?- It's home movie time!
- Intuitive projector design
- Camera stand and remote included
- Image quality still needs improvement
- It's a lot of money for a compact camera
Nikon Coolpix S1000pj review Review
The world's first camera with an integrated projector, the 12.1-megapixel Coolpix S1000pj's most interesting feature will either have you chortling with delight or feeling totally unimpressed.- Projector sounds stupid in theory but is quite impressive in practice
- Included projector stand and remote
- Really easy to use
- Weak projector
- Expensive
- Pretty ordinary as a camera
Nikon Coolpix S1000pj
There is no doubt that the Coolpix S1000pj is a great concept and a superb technical achievement but as a £400 camera the performance is pretty ordinary, not to mention the lack of manual control and HD movie recording. Nikon should also re-think some of the camera's operating processes.

Depending on how much you like viewing your photos or letting others view your photos, the Nikon Coolpix S1000pj is either really cool or a waste. The compact camera houses an ultrasmall projector able to display photos and video at sizes up to 40 inches diagonal at the press of the button.- Compact
- attractive body with a projector built into the front for instant slideshows up to 40 inches in size
- Photo quality
- shooting performance
- and features are all that of a less expensive camera
Nikon Coolpix S1000pj
Every now and again, you come across a product that makes you think: How on earth did they do that? Well, Nikon's Coolpix S1000pj is such a beast, because it's a compact digital camera with a built-in pico projector.

A brilliant innovation, but image quality is below par and the price is too far above the average
Nikon's Coolpix S1000pj will project your images and home movies - but the price is still too high
In an impressive show of innovation, the S1000pj is the first camera to have an integrated projector. It manages this feat without adding too much bulk to the body either; at 96 x 24 x 63mm (WDH) and weighing 175g, it's smaller and lighter than the Samsung WB500.
