Nikon rumored to be working on second projector camera with video-in capability

Despite the built-in pico projector and a freakish publicity stunt, Nikon's Coolpix S1000pj camera hasn't exactly been flying off the shelves. That said, French magazine Chasseur d'Images -- a publication with good track record on product leaks -- is reporting that Nikon's cooking up a second projector camera, and this time it'll even work as a conventional pico projector for computers. Sounds pretty swank, but according to Nikon Rumors, we'll have to wait until the first half of August for the next batch of Coolpix cameras to come out. Hopefully it won't be too late for our summer getaways -- otherwise we'll just have to hop on over to another hemisphere.

watching the video via the publicity stunt link made me feel a little weird. i turned it off.

A projector that only works with the camera is kinda silly. It makes a lot more sense for it to also work with computers, in fact make the while thing an A/V peripheral and I might even consider it. Hopefully in the future it will also work with handsets.

I was guessing that you were new here and was going to pity you, but then I saw that you've been here longer than me... and well, you're just stupid.

I would love it if it's within reasonable price.

Hey Nikon, want a million-dollar marketing tip? Get rid of that stupid Coolpix name! Sheesh.

@lecti
you think the name is stupid? you should see the ads they are airing over here in India to market it.

niceee!

[Michael Scrip Posted Jun 20th 2010 4:10PM]

Hey Nikon... how about a D90 successor?

[Barron Posted Jun 20th 2010 4:38PM]

They should be working on new DSLRs.

I have a dated paper showing my design for this type of device, before Knee-cone ever announced the camera.

Who's to say that all prostitutes are ladies.
