The weekend is here again fellow geeks and geekettes so I am back with another week in review. Monday more rumors surfaced that has Apple launching that long anticipated tablet device this November.

Nikon’s Coolpix S1000pj projector-camera may only have got the official nod from the company this morning, but that hasn’t stopped Stuff.TV from going hands-on with the 12.1-megapixel shooter already. They found the S1000pj to be surprisingly good fun, with the VGA quality from the pico-projector making up in communal usability what it lacks in visual fidelity.

Nikon have officially announced its new Coolpix range, including the pico-projector packing S1000pj first spotted yesterday. The Coolpix S1000pj has a 12.1-megapixel sensor, 5x wide-angle optical zoom and EXPEED digital processing as in the company’s DSLR range, but most interesting is the 10 lumen LED integrated projector that can create up to 40-inch VGA-quality picture.
Having only been talking about Nikon’s pico-projector-packing digital camera earlier on today, images of the digicam – plus three other upcoming point-and-shoots – have leaked. The Nikon Coolpix S1000pj is the production version of the VP650 prototype, and packs a compact projector module in the center of its casing.
Nikon are tipped to be preparing a digital camera with integrated pico-projector, capable of not only snapping images but projecting them at up to a claimed 8 x 12 inches. The upcoming point-and-shoot, believed to be the Nikon VP650, was revealed in French photography magazine Chasseur d’Images.
It’s not just Nikon’s flagship D300S new today; the company has also unveiled an entry-level DSLR, the Nikon D3000, aimed at getting new photographers addicted. The 10.2-megapixel camera uses an 11-point autofocus system, DX-format sensor and EXPEED image processing, but the most interesting feature for beginners will be the Guide mode. Not just an automatic setup, Guide mode promises to explain why different settings should be chosen; yes, that’s right, it’s a teacher trapped inside your DSLR.
