Yes it will play video but only if it's video taken with the camera.

Will that projector play back movies? Perhaps there is a use for this thing after-all.

The projector yes, spending $400USD to buy one and then taking it apart and never using it again?! HELL NO

I don't blame them. I have a friend who'll take apart all electronics—iPods, his BRAND NEW MacBook Pro, and he even asked if he could take apart my D70 after I got my D300!

I think mostly people are interested on how the projector is fitted inside—after all, isn't that what the camera's all about?

There sure is a lot of interest in this little camera. This guy got his hands on one and then proceeded to take it apart!!!

I cried a little after seeing this :^(

Thanks lyr!

Seems like there's more interest in it then Nikon thought, so maybe, but I doubt it. This camera will become a unique collectors edition in the future

That's Awesome!

I wonder if there'll be any competition for this camera?

Interesting read on the technology found inside the S1000pj projector camera including cool cutaway illustrations.
