According to the French magazine Chasseur d’Images, a dead-tree publication dedicated to photography, Nikon is readying a camera with a buit-in LED projector, which will throw images of up to 8 x 12 inches onto the wall of a darkened room.
The reason we like this rumor (or leak) is because of the pedigree of the French magazine: Chasseur d’Images, because of the long lead times for printed publications, often gets the scoop early. This was the magazine that broke the Leica Noctilux 50mm ƒ0.95 lens well before its official birth.
Nikon is certainly focusing (ahem) on the more interesting side of photography. Since it dropped out of the megapixel race we have seen some amazing work on low light imaging, an extraordinarily good strobe (the SB 900) and a consumer camera with built in GPS. A camera with a projector inside doesn’t seem so far-fetched now, does it?
