Can you believe this? This is one great leap in the innovation on the camera technology. This is the world’s first camera with built-in projector. It is really unexpected in a camera. Usually, customers will start checking how many megapixel the resolution is, but what I did not expect is this fantastic feature that up to now I cannot imagine that it is possible to integrate.

Below are the awesome features:

• 12.1 megapixel
• 5X zoom
• 2.7-in. high-resolution LCD monitor with anti-reflection coated cover
• 16 handy scene modes for optimized shooting in various settings
• D-Lighting and Active Zoom
• Four movie modes with sound
• Approx. 36 MB of internal memory
• Faster shutter speeds when shooting in low light or capturing fast-moving subjects.
• Face-priority AF helps produce more satisfying portraits by adjusting focus and exposure for as many as 12 faces in the framed shot.
• Skin Softening function detects and analyzes a framed subject’s skin, and then adjusts smoothness to produce enhanced results.
• Smile Timer automatically releases the shutter when the subject smiles, while its Blink Proof function shoots two sequential frames, then saves the one in which the subject’s eyes are widest open.
• Blink Warning presents an alert when it suspects that someone in the shot has blinked. In-Camera Red-Eye Fix automatically corrects any perceived red-eye effect before saving the image to memory.

When you are using it as a projector for the images, image size can be up to 40 inches and the projection distance can be up to 2 meters.

Available color is black and warm silver.

What more can I say…I really want this baby!
