This 2011 Nikon compact camera features tech you just won't find in any modern model

Nikon Coolpix S1200pj.

Compact cameras are making a comeback – and we've seen some standout releases in 2025, like the Sony RX1R III. This time, I want to take you back over 13 years to a truly one-of-a-kind compact camera: The Nikon Coolpix S1200pj, famous for one wild feature rarely seen in compact cameras – a built-in projector.

If you're a serious photographer chasing high-resolution performance, it won't meet your needs. But for creatives, collectors, or anyone drawn to unique gear and playful photography, the Nikon Coolpix S1200pj offers something genuinely different. It invites you to experiment, have fun with your shots, and share them instantly – in a way most compact cameras simply can't.
