Nikon COOLPIX S1100pj review
Innovative Sharing Experiences for Work and Play On the heels of its
ground-breaking predecessor, the new COOLPIX S1100pj takes advanced
technology a step further with a 40 per cent brighter, 14-lumen internal
projector complete with a built-in stand and an easy-to-use touch screen
interface, allowing users to share photos and movies in even more
environments. With the computer connection feature, the S1100pj also allows
users to connect the camera to a computer via USB and project whatever is
on the computer screen. Additional creative features include a built-in
slide show function that plays photos with music and one-touch HD 720p
movie recording with easy projection playback. Whether sharing family
photos and videos with loved ones or showing an important presentation to a
client, users can make a big impression by projecting up to 47 inches from
over seven feet away. Truly putting creativity at the user?€™s
fingertips, the COOLPIX S1100pj features a 3-inch 460,000-dot touch LCD
screen with Clear Colour Display. A new Paint function allows users to
write and draw on projected images in real time, while a wide range of new
in-camera Retouch functions allow users to add stamps for an entertaining
effect or rate their favourite photos for a more convenient search. Other
new functions in the S1100pj?€™s in-camera Retouch Menu include Soft,
Selective Colour, Cross Screen, Fisheye Effect, Miniature Effect and Makeup
Effect, giving users creative freedom without the need for a computer. The
14.1-megapixel COOLPIX S1100pj includes a 5x Wide-Angle Optical Zoom-NIKKOR
glass lens (28-140mm) and a 5-way VR Image Stabilization System with ISO
settings up to 6400 to ensure incredibly sharp, crisp images in low-light
conditions or while shooting handheld. To further help users capture
stunning photos easily, the S1100pj also features 17 scene modes, Subject
Tracking, Easy Auto Mode and Nikon?€™s Smart Portrait System, all
packed into a compact design. The COOLPIX S1100pj is available in black. ?
