What could be more practical than a digicam with a built-in projector Nevertheless, this is a damn cool piece of hardware, because the camera is actually helpful. If you have missed the news, the S100pj is a very interesting snapshot camera from Nikon, with a tiny difference: It has built-in digital projectors. This is also the purpose why this camera is so particular and why we test them. Maybe the purpose why there is this camera at all – apart from that it would just die, merely the mass of other digicams.

Camera quality

This is a common snapshot camera with common technical details. This signifies nowadays 12.1 megapixel photo resolutions, a five-fold magnification, an image stabilizer and SD cards. In addition, the Micro-A USB port provides / V connections. The battery is separately supplied to a charging device with power. Photos shot with the S1000pj are very easy – nearly too simple. ISO and white balance are hidden at the back two menu layers. Although, it is indeed the reason of snapshot camera fairly acceptable photos as simple as possible to shoot. This makes the S100pj fairly well. As you can see our sample photos, the pictures are not at all fairly bad, but not at all very fine. The Nikon is really fairly fine all around in the auto-handle fashion.

Be it a dark room, a sunny roof or a kitchen in the synthetic light. High ISO performance was also a fine amaze. Nikon has preset the sensor so that the attribute is automatically abridged to 3 megapixels when you shoot in the ISO-6400-mode images. ISO 800 photos are fine sufficient to print them, and ISO 400 is crystal clear – even after prolonged exposure. Once we have clarified that now: This is yet a snapshot camera, it is not especially fine. The lens is not especially sharp and the colors are not especially lively. The threshold speed is quick but not super quick. This is really the trouble with this camera: It would be fairly acceptable snapshot camera for, tell, 100 to 200 euros.

Until we saw this camera in our hands, it was here merely a very mundane digicam. We had already imagined ourselves as we would tear up the equipment in our test and searched for possible negative words for it. But when we turned on the projector in a dimly lit room for the first time, we were very pleasantly amazed. This provides here for jubilation Add everybody who uses it and is a great way to distribute photos and video.

Conclusion

Make the decision of this sentence, was not simple for us. But we can guess of you, just not more than 360 to 430 euros for a camera publish. In addition, your money is on fire a hole in your wallet you and you have to unavoidably spend it. The camera is fairly ok and the projector concept is not as ridiculous as it sounds at first. Either the image attribute shall be enhanced to anything, what you can guess at a cost of around 400 euros or the device is cheaper. No, wait: It pays not merely a set of money, but must also give a set of battery power – namely, not much juice left, if we use the projector. You lose one quarter of the battery loose time if you want to appear his friends some photos.
