Gimmicky

It's real gimmicky... at 10 lumens VGA resolution that thing is basically usuable in anything but pitch black, and then you're only getting VGA resolution. It is small though.

My suggestion - Optoma Pico301 or AAXA M1 micro projector. The Optoma one has a battery (which is real nice). I personally have the AAXA M1 micro projector, I can take my Canon DSLR SD Card, insert directly into the M1 micro projector and start doing a slide show. Most projectors (including the Optoma) don't have this capability, and the M1 is 75 lumens, SVGA resolution so at least you can see something... Just my $0.02.

I guess the AAXA one is cheaper

Stick with your quality projectors

This camera projector is for fun, more like a toy for those who loves small gadgets. It will make a pretty good Christmas gift.

But if you are doing a presentation for a major sale, please use the professional grade projectors. Using cheap gimmicky equipment will just give bad impression on your clients and give them a headache looking at your presentation.
