The Nikon Coolpix S1000pj is definitely a cool gadget. If you have not seen or heard about it yet, you are missing out. This seemingly ordinary compact camera has a very special feature: a built-in projector! At first I was extremely sceptical. What can a compact camera with a gimmicky looking feature like this do for me? After giving it a chance, this feature is actually really cool and has come handy in many social situations.My first hands-on experience with this camera was at a friend’s wedding a couple of weeks ago. A friend of mine bought a Coolpix S1000pj the day before the wedding and had not had a chance to play with it before the event. Since she had not used it before, she passed it off to me and asked me to take photos for her. I have shot weddings many times before, but never with a compact camera. Since I was not the official photographer for this wedding, it gave me an opportunity to shoot fun images of all the guests having a good time rather than just the wedding party and the bride and groom. The reception was the best part. I captured dancing, bouquet tossing, and the rest of the shenanigans you can expect to find at a wedding reception. I was impressed with the quality of images I was getting from this little camera. Although low-light performance has not always been Nikon’s strength in their compact line up, this model was getting pretty good results. When the party started to settle down, I asked my friend if I could try the projector mode out since I have never seen it in action. I popped the camera on our table and switched the camera to projector mode. It projected a 40-inch image on the white wall and displayed a slideshow of the entire day. Eventually we noticed that a crowd had formed around us. Even the bride came over to see what was going on. Everyone loved seeing the photos projected on the wall, and it was great how we could all laugh about the silly poses together. It was a definitely a big hit.After playing with my friend’s camera, I decided that I wanted one too. This camera has become my official party camera! Every time I bring it to a social event, people go crazy over it. For some reason, people love to watch and laugh about events that have just happened. I highly recommend this camera for the social butterfly, as it is a fun way to share your photos on the wall instantly. You can simply toss it in your pocket and bring it anywhere and everywhere.
