S1000PJ
by Matt Burns on October 6, 2009

I could care less about iPod teardowns. I mean, who the hell cares anymore. It’s an iPod. But I looked at nearly every picture of iFixit’s teardown of the Nikon Coolpix S1000pj. After all, this little pocket camera sports a front-facing projector. Of course I wanna see the little gnomes that make the magic happen. Video teardown after the jump.

nikon-s1000pj1 (1)Nice. The Nikon S1000pj pocket projector camera was originally slated for September 17th release, but then a nasty Internet rumor circulated stating that it was pushed back to October 23 due to supply levels. But a Nikon PR dude sent us a little note, calming stating that it was still on track. We have no idea if any actually got their hands on the camera on the 17th, but it’s now available from major Internet retailers for $429 and that’s all that matters.

nikon-s1000pj1News broke yesterday from a usually very reliable Japanese trade publication that Nikon had pushed back the launch date for the S1000pj projector camera to October 23 due to the expected high demand. That might not be true. A Nikon PR flack just dropped us a note stating that the S1000pj is, in fact, going to be released on September 17, 2009 as orginally planned.

Just a heads up – The Nikon S1000pj camera actually is not delayed, and it’s on target for Sept 17th for a sales start date. Let me know if you have any questions!

So either the PR guy is simply trying to save face for the company he represents or the camera is in fact going to be available in this month. We’ll find out on September 17.

Sorry, folks. If you’ve been anxiously awaiting the launch of the Nikon Coolpix S100pj projector camera, you’re going to have to wait a little longer. The original plan according to the press release was to bring the camera to the market in September, but that doesn’t seem to be the case any longer. Now the camera is going to launch on October 23rd.

s1000pj-creamOkay, so Nikon’s S1000pj just launched a few hours ago and I think we all want to see how it’s going to work. We’ll have a hands-on shortly, but here is the official Nikon video that demonstrates the camera clearly. We just hope that the room doesn’t have to be pitch black inorder for it to work. Interstingly enough, the French version of the video shows a cream colored S1000pj along with the matte black model we’re getting here in the States. It makes you wonder why we don’t have the color option here.

Surprise! New Nikon cameras! Oh, yeah, these cameras already leaked out yesterday like Nikon cameras tend to do as of late. The only thing not announced was the US price, but our estimates were pretty darn close. Read More

We always knew that Nikon was a leaking ship, adrift in the digital camera sea, but this latest leak proves it. Why bother with embargos and NDAs when most of the info leaks out early anyway. First, it was the D5000, then the D300s and now all these Coolpix cameras that aren’t official yet. This is what we know so far though. Read More
