Nikon has announced the arrival of the Coolpix S1100pj – it's second stab at a camera with an integrated projector.
Taking over from the S1000pj, the S1100pj offers a 40 per cent brighter projector then its predecessor (at 14 lumens), a 14.1MP sensor and a wide-angle 5x optical zoom lens.
The camera also has a 3-inch LCD screen on the back, so you can see the shots you shoot.
But the real USP is the projector, which comes with in-camera editing software. This will liven up your slideshow with some animations and even background music, if that's your sort of thing.
Low--cost shooter
Alongside the Coolpix S1100pj, Nikon has also announced the launch of the Coolpix S5100.
Interestingly, the S5100 was the name of a Fujifilm Coolpix camera back in 2004, but we're guessing enough time has passed for consumer confusion to disappear.

This is a 12.2MP shooter, which is said to work well in low light conditions. There's also motion detection on-board, vibration reduction and you will also be able to shoot 720p HD quality video.
Alongside this, there is a 5x 28mm Nikkor lens on-board and the camera's chassis is a lean 21.6mm.
UK release date for the Nikon Coolpix S1100pj is 16 September, with prices starting at £350.
Price and launch date details for the Coolpix S5100 are still to be confirmed.
