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.

Nikon CoolPix S1000pj

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.
Pros:
  • Compact
  • attractive body with a projector built into the front for instant slideshows up to 40 inches in size
Cons:
  • Photo quality
  • shooting performance
  • and features are all that of a less expensive camera

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.
Pros:
  • It's home movie time
  • Intuitive projector design
  • Camera stand and remote included
Cons:
  • Image quality still needs improvement
  • It's a lot of money for a compact camera

  • It's home movie time!
  • Intuitive projector design
  • Camera stand and remote included
Cons:
  • Image quality still needs improvement
  • It's a lot of money for a compact camera
