REVIEW:
Camera + projector, isn’t that
awesome? The big, heavy and hassle to carry projector is now in your tiny
camera. It is very convenient for those who love taking photos and presenting
it to the public. But with its ISO and white balance control capacity this
camera is only capable of the shots that are never spectacular, but never terrible. I mean it takes pictures
that are OK. But it still costs a good deal with its projector.
When
it comes to the looks of this camera, the difference
between the Nikon Coolpix S1000pj and a regular camera is obvious as soon as
you take a look at the camera’s front plate. That’s because the Nikon has not
one, but two lenses, one for taking photos, and another one for projecting them
into a plain wall or canvas. But, Nikon S1000pj’s projector has its limit especially its bulb. But
still unique.
It's
an instant wow-piece for anyone who uses it, and a great way to show off photos
and yes, videos in a bind. And by bind, I mean any time you don't want to ask everyone
where you are to crowd around on the computer screen and awkwardly watch while
you look at your photos. Now, you just tell them to “dim the lights, and here
we go!”
