The reason that the S1000pj was so popular was because it was the first camera that had a built in projector that made image viewing much easier without ever having to transfer anything viewing the LCD screen. The Coolpix S1100pj comes to revolutionize the industry once more and offer better ways to share our photos. This new model has a projector that is 40% brighter and so it can offer the ability to shoot in light rich environments and even against a very light surface. To share and download your photos, it can be easily linked to a PC and also a Mac and you can start sharing your captured memories with everybody.
As Nikon has already made us expect from all their releases, the S1100pj is not your typical camera but it offers a great number of features which are made possible with the help of the 14.1 MP sensor, the wide angle 5x zoom NIKKOR lens, and the 3.0 inch touch screen LCD monitor with a resolution of 460K dot that makes this model more than just a fancy new toy.
