Quick review of Nikon Coolpix S1100pj

S1100pj

Apart from its DSLR range, Nikon has also updated its compact camera lineup with a number of new models, most notable of which are the Coolpix S1100pj, S80 and P7000.

Like its predecessor, the S1100pj is a compact camera with an unusual feature - it comes with a built-in projector that can be used to project and share photos and videos.

The S1100pj improves on the older model by increasing the projection brightness by 40% and adds a 3in TFT touch panel LCD monitor on the back. The Coolpix S1100pj is available in black and green.

The camera can also connect to Windows or MacOS computers and it can act as a projector to show images and text from the computer's display.

On the camera side, the S1100pj comes with a 14.1-megapixel image sensor, a zoom lens equivalent to a 28-140mm and ISO settings from 80-6400. It even comes with a built-in stand for propping the camera up when used as a projector.

The Coolpix S1100pj has a recommended retail price of RM1,148.
