As a video camera, the Polaroid iD940 is surprisingly good, except for a hiss in the left audio channel (which may be a fault of the one I tested, or a problem common to all of them). But its built-in projector is mostly just a gimmick, as it's very dim and can't focus an image larger than about 45" diagonally. Prices for this model vary widely, so if you're interested in it, shop around to get the best deal.
Sorry for the shaky image during the first part of the video. I was using a Panasonic HM-TA2 camera, whose "electronic image stabilization" is nearly useless.
