So, you just clicked some pictures and made a super-cool movie of your new-born nephew; how would you like to share this with your family using a projector? How about this projector being the size of a compact digital camera; or the compact digital camera itself?

Nikon's newly launched camera with integrated projector will surely do the trick. This camera, the world's first, will be a part of its brand new range of Coolpix cameras, says the company.

With reasonably priced weather-proof cameras now available along with cameras that have portable media player capabilities, this certainly seems to be the era for cameras to really evolve from being just plain image capturing and video recording devices.

The Coolpix S1000pj features a 12.1 megapixels sensor and a 2.7-inch wide viewing-angle TFT LCD monitor. It comes with a wide-angle 5x zoom NIKKOR lens and a high ISO 6400 sensitivity.

One touch projection

The built-in projector projects an image size from approximately 5 inches up to 40 inches. There's a remote control bundled along that can wirelessly operate both the projector and usual camera functions. There's a simple projection stand supplied as well.

Features

The COOLPIX S1000pj features Scene Auto mode, whereby the camera automatically selects the appropriate scene mode based on the contents of a user's shot.

In addition, there are five functions to reduce image blur; there's face tracking and anti-shake functionality. Also, there's a feature that enables users to 'airbrush' someone's face using the Skin Softening function to reduce the appearance of blemishes.

The COOLPIX S1000pj will be initially available in Europe for  " 429 (Rs. 29,400).
