His Point of View

Today I am happy to report another technological advance in consumer electronics.  I have just learned of the new Nikon Coolpix S1000pj digital camera.  What’s so great about this camera you may ask???  If you did ask I would say that it is a pocket sized 12.1 Mega-Pixel camera with a  5X magnification optical glass lens, image stabilization, up to 6400 ISO, and best of all…. a built in projector.  That’s right this pocket sized camera($429.95) has a built in video projector which can display images and video captured by the camera onto a wall or screen up to 40 inches wide.  This means no more huddling around a 2 inch LCD screen to show your friends the photos you just took of them being silly, or to show family the photos of your recent trip to Paris.  And to the creative bunch, this opens the door to instant art not only can you instantly display images you just created, but you can incorporate those you just snapped into new works on the spot.  I think this (or the next few generations of this technology) will be a must have for the graphic artists on a budget, who draw or paint things they observe in the world.
