Pros

Useful 5x zoom range, Compact design considering what's been squeezed in, Projector works surprisingly well, Good noise control, Good clarity at lower ISO settings, Simplified design
Upgraded projector is brighter; built-in kickstand; able to connect to PC as external display; decent picture quality for its class.
Projector functionality, included stand and remote
Builtin projector is a very interesting option and works well, Camera design looks great with unique color options, Touch screen LCD is sharp and bright, even in sunlight, and includes shutter control, Camera exposure is really accurate most of the time.

Cons

Touch screen isn't the most responsive, Occasional unpredictable over/under exposure
Battery runs out quickly if using projector a lot; resistive touchscreen not as responsive.
Image quality, LCD unresponsive at times, price
Image quality is only average to slightly above average, If you don't need the projector feature, price is a little high, It would be nice to have the option of a directional button for working through menus, You may notice some focus or camera shake

The second of Nikon’s compacts cameras to feature a built-in projector (and only the second such camera in the world) is a neat compact that provides a really novel user experience thanks to the projector. Image quality lacks punch though and...
