->> Before you get too excited... (from the Nikon USA site)
Brightness: Up to 10 lumens
• Image size: 5 to 40 in.
Hmmm, up to 10 lumens for a 5 inch image... I can't imagine how dark the room must be for a 40 inch image, but if there's a math wiz out there (inverse square and all that), and those of us who used to calculate with Guide Numbers on their strobes, you know it'll be pretty dim. :(
Cool idea, but even if it was brighter, your battery would last about as long as your shutter speed
Just for a comparison, most projectors throw 1000 to 2000 lumens - some even more.
Another one for the Gadget Warehouse down the road...
Cheers!

| ->> I wondered that also but Roberts had a video showing it in action (albeit the video was pretty bad). but nikon also says the battery will last an hour in the playback mode. I just figured it was interesting enough to share. I imagine in a few years our cameras will shoot, edit, xmit and make a good cup of coffee. |

->> I've played with one of these. I was underwhelmed to be honest.
One big annoyance of mine is that there are two power buttons on the top of the camera - one for the camera and the other for the projector. Also, the projector has to be manually focused. I understand why they did this but is seems "too advanced" for a P&S camera.
My biggest complaint is that while in projector mode, you can't just tap the shutter button to be back in shooting mode.
In the slide show mode, there are preloaded gimmicky transitions, including an animated panda that will play around on your photos.
In a low light situation, the projector does a decent job (I use the word decent loosely). They say that your projection surface has to be about 6ft away to make the 40in screen. At that point, it is pretty faint. At any rate, on a full charge, the projector will go for about an hour.
Count me out. |
