If you’re looking for a sought-after holiday gift for a photo-loving or yourself this season, then Nikon COOLPIX’s new S1000pj compact camera comes highly recommended. This product has a reliable and good camera, but what really amazes about the S1000pj is the fact that it includes a small, projector as a feature for picture display – something never before seen.

With resolution at 12.1 megapixels, this compact camera has good features on paper that prove to hold up when tested. Auto-mode shooting consistently results in clean pictures with enough exposure and no noise. The camera includes an 11.044 mm image sensor, an incredible 2.7-inch high resolution LCD screen and 24mm wide-angle. Also, the fact that the camera has high ISO up to 6400 means that the user gets sharper results when shooting in low light or shooting fast-moving subjects. Nikon’s special “Best Shot Selector” (BSS) also helps with this since it automatically takes up to 10 shots when the shutter is pressed and saves the sharpest image.

The camera includes Nikon’s Smart Portrait System which features technology that helps smooth out skin tone for optimal portraits as well as automatically removing red eye. The “D-lighting” feature salvages those dark or backlit pictures by automatically improving the brightness and detail where needed.

Overall, the Nikon has a nice mod appearance, but it’s definitely on the bulkier end for a compact camera. Why? Because the added size is necessary to house the included projector features. The projector screens bright and clear images that are easily focused with a slider on the unit’s top. Images look best in dark surroundings but still show up with impressive visibility in well-lit environments. It’s definitely a plus not to have to fumble with a lot of setting adjustments to get the projector working. Everything is intuitive. A minor downside is that the battery life will only last approximately an hour in projection mode.

All new cool tech comes with a price, and in the case of the S1000pj the early adopter price tag is quite hefty, ringing in at $430 for the projector camera. To avoid the toll on your savings, put the Nikon COOLPIX S1000pj at the top of your wish list this year. (** Recently the price has been reduced to $363… get it now! **)
