   Personally I think that’s the stupidest idea I’ve ever heard of. Why?!?!?!?!

   I don’t think it’s stupid – I can think of many ways a small projector like that would come in handy.

   But it is funny that the camera world is starting to move from “megapixel wars” to “odd features”.

   Also, I wonder, how many people will be taking pics with this camera and moan about their pics not looking like the ones on the website’s sample images

   I think its good that p&s cameras are moving away from the megapixels war. A new sony camera can be docked on a self-adjusting tripod, so you can set it up at a party and the camera and tripod will pan and zoom on its own, recognizing smiles or whatever and compose shots using the rule of 3rds. I don’t know how practical these features are or if they’re just dumb gimmicks, but better than just seeing cameras that only up the megapixel count and nothing else.

   Personally I’d find more uses for the projector rather than the robotic camera. And i think kids would love it, after some party or event they could just collapse to the ground and project the pics up onto the ceiling. I remember some summer camps I’d go to they’d put together some slideshow and project it onto the wall on the last day and it was alot of fun to see all the stuff we did.

   The recent p&s cameras take surprisingly good pictures automatically without the user knowing anything about photography.
