We were all impressed when Nikon broke new ground last year by integrating projector capability into a digital camera and now it appears that it’s already time for an update.

Say hello to Nikon’s next generation projection camera, the Coolpix S1200pj that not only brings with it the projection integration but also a brighter 20-lumens pico projector that works with your iOS-powered devices such as your iPad, iPhone and iPod.

The camera is able to shoot 14.1-megapixel when you aren’t using it to watch a movie, while zooming in up to 5x from afar in addition to recording High Definition videos at 720p – no Full HD support here though.

Needless to say, if you are going to use the projector function most of the time, the battery is not going to last very long at all, so make sure you know what you are going to use it for. The Nikon Coolpix S1200pj will retail for $430 when it arrives sometime next month.

Ahh, you just have to love a good photo leak this time of year cause it means not waiting as long to find out what’s what on the latest gadgets and this principle certainly applies to the new Olympus PEN Mini.  Isn’t she hot?!

Part of their PEN series which focuses on bridging the gap between compact point-n-shoot and DSLR cameras, the Olympus PEN Mini has about everything you’ve been looking for in one camera.

Dubbed the E-PM1, this new cam is reportedly about the same size as the XZ-1, though larger in width due to a new touchscreen display, imaging engine and sensor with much improved circuitry that will deliver better battery life, which was much needed.

The word on the street is that on June 30, all will be revealed on the Olympus PEN Mini E-PM1, and we’re especially looking forward to pricing details.

This new sexy edition will come available in your choice of Silver, Black and Pink.   Cost is around $329.  Ho.  Ho.  Ho.

The king of cameras comes fully loaded with an APS-H-sized 16-megapixel sensor 102,400 ISO, 45-point autofocus system, 1080p video and 10fps bursts.

You’re drooling.

Professional photographers are weighing in on the new camera and giving some pretty high marks for the sensor cleaning as well as the built-in RAW processing, though the word on the street is that the 102400 ISO is great, if you like lots of noise that is.

Average cost around $5,000.

With 12.2-megapixels and a handy dandy 4x optical zoom, this digital gadget is the perfect companion for water and theme parks as well as outdoorsy vacations.  Cost, $200 and will come in both grey and red color options.

The new Extreme Pro Compact Flash Cards feature the Scandisk “Power Core Controller” as well as a silicone coating for humidity and moisture protection.  The cards come in 16, 32 and 64GB capacities and prices start at $300 on up to $800.

Featuring a 2.7-inch LCD screen, ISO sensitivity up to 3200, Digital Image Stabilization, Smart Scene Recognition, 11 picture settings and Face Detection, this digital camera will be making its debut in the UK later this month.  Colors available are red, black, blue, or grey, sadly no pink at this time.

With an optical zoom of 10.7x, compared with 7.1x with the CX1, the CX2 will have you shooting left and right.  Ricoh has also given the new model a high contrast B&W setting along with a Miniaturize mode which will blur the areas around your photo to give you a different depth of field.

All in all we’re pleased with the new CX2, and looking forward to coming up with the $500 to buy it.

In celebration of Hello Kitty’s 35th anniversary Casio is introducing the new Limited Edition Hello Kitty Casio Exilim EX-Z2 Digital Camera.  With 12.1-megapixels and a Swarovski-studded casing, this new camera is going to take the girly world by storm.

The $500 camera features a 2.7-inch LCD, a steady 3x digital zoom and all the extras from a camera case to a lanyard and all the pink you could want.  What a way to celebrate 35 years.
