Can also record HD video at 720p and takes 5MP snaps

Pico projectors are something that seem to go extremely well together with camcorders, so 3M took the obvious route and launched the CP45 video camera with a built-in projector.

Since it was designed to be easily carried around with you, both of these devices were packed together into a compact chassis that makes it easily pocketable.

Despite the small size, 3M was actually able to include quite some decent specs in the CP45 which can record HD video (720p), take 5MP snaps, while also being able to project an image up to 65-inch in size on any flat surface.

The maximum supported resolution of the projector is set at 800x600 and it comes with a low 20 lumens rating, but this is nothing out of the ordinary for this type of devices.

Battery life is also pretty standard with a rating of one and a half hours and the CP45 also includes 2GB of on-board memory upgradeable to 32GB via a microSD memory card.

In case you're interested Uber Gizmo says pricing for all these features is set at £299.99, which equals roughly $479 US or 345 Euros.
