The world’s first compact camera to feature a built-in projector enhances the fun of sharing special moments anywhere

Nikon Coolpix S1000pj digital camera highlights
The Coolpix S1000pj is the first compact digital camera in the world to feature a built-in projector. With a simple touch of a button, the camera projects favorite photos or movies clips on any flat surface at up to 40 inches in size. Pictures can be projected individually, or as slide shows complete with music and added effects that enhance the experience. It’s the fun new way to share pictures with family and friends in most any location.

This capability to project still images or movie clips gives rise to an entirely new form of communication as all participants visually share the passion of special moments together. For example, the Coolpix S1000pj can be used to capture photos on a family vacation, and then serve double-duty as a personal theater in the evening as everyone enjoys viewing the highlights of the day projected on a wall or a ceiling. Whenever and just about wherever friends gather, the Coolpix S1000pj’s projector can add whole new life to the party by displaying nostalgic pictures or freshly shot images for all to enjoy. Parents can even use the Coolpix S1000pj to display photos of their own artworks or other images on the ceiling to complement bedtime stories they tell their children.

Projector Specifications:

  • Brightness: Up to 10 lumens
  • Image size: 5 to 40 in.
  • Throw distance: Approx. 10 in. to 6 ft. 6 in.(26 cm to 2 m)
  • Endurance (battery life): Approx. 1 hour
  • Resolution (output): VGA equivalent
A handy projector stand is included, as is a remote control that can be used to operate the projector, release the shutter, and more.

Also featured are the precision optics of a 5x zoom NIKKOR lens that provides the compositional freedom of 28mm wide-angle coverage and macro shooting ability from as close as 3 cm (1.2 in.). This combines with the image quality and performance benefits of Nikon's innovative EXPEED digital image-processing concept to help ensure consistently beautiful results produced at the high resolution of 12.1 effective megapixels.

Sharper results with five advanced Nikon image stabilizing features*
Nikon Coolpix S1000pj digital camera highlights
VR image stabilization in action
Nikon's Optical lens shift and Electronic VR image stabilization systems combine to help produce blur-free images. High ISO 6400** capability allows faster shutter speeds when shooting in low light or capturing fast-moving subjects. Motion Detection automatically controls shutter speed and the ISO setting to compensate for subject movement and camera shake. And, Nikon’s original BSS (Best Shot Selector) function automatically shoots a series of sequential frames and saves the one with the sharpest focus.
* The camera selects and uses only the features required to optimize each image.
** ISO 3200 and 6400 are available only for image sizes of 3M (2048 x 1536) or smaller.

Nikon’s Smart Portrait System with Skin Softening
Face-priority AF helps produce more satisfying portraits by adjusting focus and exposure for as many as 12 faces in the framed shot. Skin Softening function detects and analyzes a framed subject’s skin, and then adjusts smoothness to produce enhanced results. Smile Timer automatically releases the shutter when the subject smiles, while its Blink Proof function shoots two sequential frames, then saves the one in which the subject’s eyes are widest open. Blink Warning presents an alert when it suspects that someone in the shot has blinked. In-Camera Red-Eye Fix automatically corrects any perceived red-eye effect before saving the image to memory.

Intelligent automated shooting modes that promote carefree shooting
Nikon’s Scene Auto Selector makes it faster and easier to capture the moment by eliminating the need to manually select a scene mode to match the intended shot. This intelligent function determines the subject, analyzes the surrounding settings, and then automatically selects the appropriate scene mode for optimal results. Subject Tracking enhances the shooting experience by following the subject’s movement to ensure clear focus and quick response when that special shutter opportunity presents itself. Subject Tracking even functions if the subject moves out of the frame for a second or two.

Quick Retouch
Quick Retouch automatically adjusts the contrast and saturation of selected photos to create an enhanced copy with the right finishing touch.

Nikon Coolpix S1000pj
- Reviewd on: 2/6/2010 12:00:00 AM By: Joe Hubler
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!

Photos aren't sharp enough for a product this expensive
- Reviewd on: 1/9/2010 12:00:00 AM By: R. Gale
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.

The Projector is the Great
- Reviewd on: 1/5/2010 12:00:00 AM By: Chris Lawrenson
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.

It's a hit!
- Reviewd on: 12/26/2009 12:00:00 AM By: tilly
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!

The best present ever!
- Reviewd on: 11/20/2009 12:00:00 AM By:
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.
