Video: Nikon Coolpix S1000pj projector-cam gets hands on, ads galore

The just-announced Nikon Coolpix S1000pj digicam / pico projector has been blowin' up the Interwebs this morning, and we have the video to prove it. First of all, there is a hands-on provided by What Digital Camera over in the UK, and aside from the projector they've uncovered a pretty straight forward digital shooter: 12 megapixel, 5x optical zoom, pretty standard dimensions, and a 2.7-inch LCD. However, the projector itself seems to do the job quite admirably. Sure, it's not an extensive demo, but the image looks clear and crisp. The reviewer deems it "a very, very clever party trick." And if the straight ahead tech demo doesn't get you in the mood to snap pictures and project them onto something, advertisers have offered us two visions of the future: take your pick from a spirited get together choc full o' photogenic American actors, or a somewhat subdued, more elegant affair in the presence of photogenic French actors. All that fun (and more) is to be had after the break.

Now if only they would build this into a DS or PSP or even a console

The video said 10 lumens..10 lumens is very little light and the room will need to be almost pitch black. Good concept but it will take awhile for it to be really useful IMO. At higher lumens the battery will get sucked all that much faster. Once better battery technology and project technology are developed, this will be good technology.
