Why didn't they think of this before?
I just got this great, new camera from Nikon and it has been just great. This falls into the category of "what will they think of next?" The camera itself is a solid performer for a point and shoot with a slightly better than average 5x zoom which is great for a point & shoot model. Of course, the projector is the "WOW!" factor. No more squeezing around the display on...

Photos aren't sharp enough for a product this expensive
I got this camera for Christmas, so I've been using it for 2+ weeks. Yes, the projector is very cool. And the wideness of the lens is great. The flash recharges fairly quickly. But the photos I've taken with it aren't as sharp as those from the Casio Exilim camera I got 3 years ago. And at the end of the day for me, sharp photos are more important than bells and...

I just got this great, new camera from Nikon and it has been just great. This falls into the category of "what will they think of next?" The camera itself is a solid performer for a point and shoot with a slightly better than average 5x zoom which is great for a point & shoot model. Of course, the projector is the "WOW!" factor. No more squeezing around the display on the back to show your friends the photos. The projector is a great way to share your images. The image quality is not as high as the LCD display, but fine for quick showings.
As an artist, I will use this camera to shoot new subjects, then project them onto a canvas so I can transfer the compositions into a painting.
Be sure to order the larger Nikon case since the other "S" cases are too small for this model.

I concur with the other 5 star reviews. It is for small groups of 4-5 viewers. It is not as bright as the big boy 2000 lumen, but adequate within its limits. I am also a hobby artist, with the projector I can store comps, project, and rough out line art. This alone makes it worth the purchase. The innards are state-of-the-art, as good as any other 12meg pix P&S. There is a lot of undiscovered potential lurking within. One drawback is that the only input to the projector is via the camera. somewhere, somebody will hack the file format on the SD card so you can load your other pictures for projection. I'll then give it 6 stars.
Update: here is a software that converts jpeg from other sources to Nikon coolpix s1000pj format that can be saved on SD card and viewed with the built in projector. [...]. it works with other models and mfg's formats. Now I give it 6 stars. I can convert my powerpoint training slides for projection on the s1000pj, and carry it in my shirt pocket, now that's cool!

I got this camera for Christmas, so I've been using it for 2+ weeks. Yes, the projector is very cool. And the wideness of the lens is great. The flash recharges fairly quickly. But the photos I've taken with it aren't as sharp as those from the Casio Exilim camera I got 3 years ago. And at the end of the day for me, sharp photos are more important than bells and whistles. Also, the lens is in the upper right corner of the camera instead of dead center which is where the projector is (a strange design choice), so you have to be careful how you hold it so you don't get the edge of your finger in the image. The flash is very bright, so you can't be too close to your subject when using it -- it washes out the image. And because the lens is so wide, I did find myself getting closer to my subjects. So unless you have some urgent need for the projector feature, I can't recommend this camera, especially given how expensive it is. I've gone back to using my Casio camera...which is also lighter and easier to stick in my pocket.

Takes great pictures, easy to use, turns on quick, everything is great.
You have to adjust the focus on the projector manually which is not a big deal, very easy to do, the adjustment is well placed on the top of the camera.

great camera, fast auto focus, good low-light focus.
I am just disappointed with the battery life, I have 2 other compact cameras, one is also a Nikon, they both have much better battery life.
i highly recommend you get 2 or 3 extra batteries. Other than that you will love this camera!
get a big memory card too, 4 or 8 gig!

I purchased this item for my husband for Christmas. He totally loved it! The instructions were easy for him to follow. In less than 24 hours he felt completely at ease with using this camera. The pictures are great. Everyone loved the projector feature!! He spent his holiday season taking pictures of everyone and then displaying them on the wall. The projector pictures looked as good as the photo pictures. I am not sure how a professional photographer would review this product. I am sure we will enjoy taking (and showing) lots of family pictures for years to come!

This is sure fun at a wedding reception, take a picture and project it on the table cloth! It brings out the smiles. And its just a darned good camera, easy to use, logical functions and you wind up with really good pictures.

I bought it for my husband and he loves it. At first he thought his older camera was fine but when he saw all the features (plus the small size) he fell in love.
Priced very well too.

This is the greatest camera ever. Not only does it have high resolution images and 12.1 megapixels( I think) it also has a built-in-projector that enables u to project your pictures and videos clearly instead of squeezing around the LCD screenjust to see a picture. This camera might be the best christmas present ever( I know it is very early.) Don't believe me? Think I am just joking? Try it out for yourself! It is quite new so don't be surprised if you cannot find it in some stores.

What a great camera for the busy family and so much fun for the holiday - where the friends/family can share photo without booting up the PC or unplug/plug into a TV...
although the size, resolution and lighting is limited, but the convenience outweights any negative aspect...
only concern if the cost of changing the projector light and the battery life...
great innovation....
