Canon has come up with a brand new REALiS SX7 Mark II Multimedia LCOS projector for the masses, where it will merge the award-winning features of REALiS projectors alongside a rather impressive 4,000 lumens of brightness as well as a Photo Image Mode that will assist users with advanced color management and adjustments for ambient lighting conditions. Under the Photo Image Mode, users will be able to make changes as well as improve the look and feel of the content being projected. This would mean changing the Color Level and Color Temperature functions, alongside the capability of fine-tuning both the intensity of colors and the color temperature by selecting from easy-to-use presets. Not only that, the Photo Image Mode will also include an Ambient Light function which can then be used to compensate for lighting conditions for both the type of lighting (Tungsten, Fluorescent and Fluorescent H) and intensity (Low, Medium or High).

MiLi iPhone Projector
We’ve seen plenty of pico projectors in the past, but here’s one that targets the iPhone specifically – the MiLi iPhone Projector. It works with the iPod as well, offering you a way of viewing all those GBs of video files stored on your device without having to squint your eyes after a while due to the screen size. After all, this projector will throw a much larger image onto any decent surface, letting not only you but others around to check out the latest episode in your favorite drama series. You can pick one up for £229.
Compatible with both the iPhone and the iPod (so anyone who hasn’t made the leap to iPhone yet is still ok), the MiLi Projector is the only portable media viewing device you’ll need. Not that many people need more than one, but you get the idea. It’s a bit like having a cinema in your pocket, but without the sticky floors and lack of leg-room, and with a maximum projection of 70 inches you’ll feel like you’ve stumbled into a very comfortable multiplex. There are some nice integrated speakers and even a remote control to adjust the whole thing with. You can either opt for good ol’ wall socket power or charge it up via USB, which will give you 1.5 hours of viewing time. The focus is fully adjustable, it’ll charge your iPhone/iPod, you can connect other external video devices like a PC, Laptop (perfect for presentations), DVD player or VCR thanks to the AV in/out connection… the list of features just goes on and on. Heck, it’s even got its own cute little stand.
