Gah!

"Oh, and you can’t connect the Coolpix S1000pj to a laptop and use it as a miniature projector"

The punchline on the last page! Wont be buying this then :(

Great review otherwise though, thanks.

How about art?

Just a thought; won't this sort of device help struggling painters by allowing them to photograph whatever it is they want to paint, project it onto a canvas, then Paint-By-Numbers on the projected image? Muarkedly easier than tracing otherwise...

Hmm

Well, if you were viewing that A4 sheet from about half a metre, that corresponds to 4 pixels in 2 milliradians of arc, or 2 Px/mrad.

Or kPx/rad, I suppose, since you aren't really supposed to use prefixes under the line.

Viewing distance

> "The eye can't see more than 4 pixels per mm anyway, which is about 1MPx on an A4 sheet."

That clearly depends on how far away you view the print from (which is generally a function of print size) and how good your eyesight is.

Eye resolution is measured in "x" per arc-minute, so is independent of distance.
