Nikon Launches Coolpix S1100pj Projector Camera

The 14-megapixel Nikon Coolpix S1100pj has a a front-mounted projector with a brightness rating of 14 lumens, and the camera replaces last year's innovative S1000pj. In a new twist, the S1100pj offers a USB-in port that lets you use the camera's built-in projector as an LCD projector for Windows and Mac computers.

According to Nikon, the S1100pj's built-in projector is powerful enough to project image slideshows and videos from its SD/SDHC card or presentations from its USB-in connection at distances of up to 7 feet.

The 14-lumens brightness rating is solid for a projector of this size: Last year's S1000pj had a brightness rating of 10 lumens, while most stand-alone pico projectors have brightness ratings in the range of 10 to 12 lumens range. That said, it does fall way short of the 1000-and-higher lumens ratings of full-size portable projectors.
