Review Summary

This is a really fun camera. It is easy to use and the image quality is pure Nikon. Expensive for what it is but then again there is nothing else out there like this cool little camera. I'm not sure why Nikon redesigned the body shortly after the initial release though. The manual focus projector is super easy to use and has excellent quality. You can projrct on any surface from a dinner plate to a wall or ceiling. It always draws a crowd and everyone asks what kind of camera it is. On the down side the projector is useless in daylight (as you might expect) and it depletes the battery quickly.

Images can be composed, reviewed and edited on the camera's 3in TFT LCD, which uses anti-glare coatings and an adjustment slider for better image brightness to complement the ambient lighting conditions. For sharper images, the S1100pj has a 5-Way VR stabilization system that combines multiple technologies to smooth the bumps when shooting under low light conditions or in situations where you can't use flash.
For spectacular portraits, Nikon's Smart Portrait System offers Skin Softening filters (3 levels of adjustment), in-camera Red-Eye Reduction, Face-Priority AF, D-Lighting, a Smile Timer takes the picture only when your subject smiles and Blink Proof, which automatically takes two quick shots and saves the one with eyes open.
Other outstanding features include Quick Retouch, which works with the D-Lighting function to optimize shadow and highlight detail, fisheye effect, selective color highlighting on an otherwise monochrome picture and background softening, 17 scene modes and macro shooting down to 1.2in from the front lens element.
If that's still not quite enough, you can also liven up your slideshows with the built-in animations, background music or slide transitions. Finally, the Paint function means you can add handwritten annotations to your images, even while you're projecting them on a wall.
