Showed at last year’s Photokina show, the GE PJ1 digital camera, it’s main party trick being an in-built Pico projector, is to go on sale in Australia soon.

The PJ1 is 21.2 mm thick, has a 14.1 megapixel sensor, 7x wide optical zoom (28-196mm), 25 shooting modes, automatic face recognition and exposure adjustment, smile and blink detection, red eye removal, pan-capture panorama and optical image stabilisation.



The pico projector is courtesy of a Texas Instruments DLP projector, with a contrast ratio of 300:1, 15 lumens, projecting 16:9 aspect ratio images of up to 70 inches in size. The camera can also connect to a computer, and then be used to project images, presentations, etc.

It will provide up to 70 minutes of projection, and included with the package is a charging base that also functions as a stand for the camera while in projection mode, with an in-built fan to keep the device from running hot, plus preserve battery life.

In addition to taking still images, the GE PJ1 also records video, in HD 720p.
