Inside the Nikon S1000pj Compact Camera with Projector

This morning Nikon dropped a bomb: It introduced the first compact camera with a built-in VGA projector (640 by 480 at 30 fps). 
The camera is quite compact--it's just .9 inches thick.  Nikon sent us a few images of the inside of the camera, so you can see how it was able to pack the projector into such a small space. See more images after the jump; and for more details on the Nikon Coolpix S1000pj and the other new Nikon cameras, check out the full story on PC MAG.

That LCD on the back of your camera can get a little crowded when family and friends are all clamoring at once to view your images. Nikon is intent on changing that with the introduction of the Nikon COOLPIX S1000pj, the world's first camera to a feature a built-in projector.

The COOLPIX S1000pj will capture 12-megapixel images, use a 2.7 inch LCD and offer 5x optical zoom. It will sell in September for $429.95 MSRP.
