Nikon S1200pj

The S1200pj is Nikon's third generation projector camera (the successor to the S1100pj). Beside shrinking the camera quite considerable, Nikon also moved to DLP from LCoS, and upped the lumens to 20 (we assume that they use TI's WVGA 854x480 DLP chip). Beside the projector, the S1200pj has a 14.1mp sensor, 5X optical zoom and a 3" LCD. It can record HD (720p) video. Like the S1100pj, the new camera can connect to an external source (Apple iPhone/iPad/iPod) and act as a stand-alone pico projector.

The S1200pj will launch in mid-September 2011 for $429. You can pre-order it now over at Amazon.com.
