The Nikon S1000PJ Redefines Digital Cameras

September 10, 2009

Revolutions in consumer electronics don’t arrive every day. The original Polaroid, the Apple, the portable cell phone, and others are well known examples. That time may have arrived again with Nikon’s new Coolpix S1000PJ. It’s the world’s first digital camera with a built-in projector.

Not just a one-trick pony, though, this camera has a dozen features that make it outstanding, even by contemporary standards. With a full 12.1 megapixels, resolution is superb on even the largest ordinary prints (such as 11 x 14, or even 20 x 24). But that size is only helpful with a low-noise chip; otherwise, the large capacity is useless. As usual, Nikon delivers.

The 2.7″ LCD monitor has been given equal thought and care by Nikon’s engineers. It’s fully large enough to make composing easy and retains that value even under ordinary daylight conditions outdoors. The anti-reflective glare coating ensures clear viewing under all but the harshest direct light.

The autofocus feature is fast and accurate, too. Naturally, that common attribute is pretty useless without good image stabilization technology. Here, too, Nikon has excelled. The Nikon S1000PJ employs five different methods to guarantee the sharpest possible shot on fast shots.

Electronic VR image stabilization, Lens shift VR (vibration reduction) image stabilization, Motion Detection, and Best Shot Selector come into play automatically. Nikon has covered nearly all the ways that tiny hand and body movement can fuzzy an image. The result? You get sharp photos on even high-action shots at high zoom. The Scene Auto Selector attribute complements it to create crisp motion shots automatically, even when the subject is moving at high speeds.

There are several stellar add-on features in the S1000PJ that are more than just “nice to have”, too.

Skin softening technology creates great portraits right in the camera. You don’t have to bother with lengthy touch-up sessions with computer image software afterwards. And, the Smart Portrait System gives you outstanding shots the instant you click the shutter.

The Quick Retouch feature balances contrast and color saturation. You get clear, rich looking photos consistently. Low-light shots are no problem, either. D-Lighting kicks in to add detail and optimizes exposures for you. You concentrate instead on selecting your shot. Let the electronics do all the technical adjustments for you.

It goes without saying, though, that the truly distinguishing feature of the Coolpix S1000PJ is the built-in projector.

No need to download your photos to your PC or Apple to share them right away. Just project your picture on any flat, white surface to get an enlarged view of your snapshot anywhere, anytime. No need to plug your SD card into an HDTV to get large, ultra-high res viewing. The projector lens provides sharp images on any appropriate surface.

That’s no good if the image is shaky, of course. So, Nikon developed a kit for the S1000PJ. You put it on a stand for rock-solid viewing. Then use the wireless remote to move from picture to picture without disturbing the projector. The slender case and low weight (155g/5.5 oz, not including battery) guarantees you won’t get hand strain when recording them either.

The Nikon S1000PJ digital camera might just have started a revolution. Join the crowd and find out how.
