The Nikon D200 10.2 Megapixel camera is one of the best new cameras to come into the marketplace.

 Digital Photography Review  has one a comprehensive review of the camera. They say “The Nikon D200 was announced on 1st November 2005, some three and a half years since Nikon revealed their first prosumer digital SLR, the D100. It’s fair to say however that the D200 is a completely different beast altogether, it shares far more with its ‘bigger brother’ the the D2X than its earlier namesake. The D200 has the robust build quality of the D2X, a 10.2 million pixel CCD sensor and a compact design more like the D100. Just as the D100 the D200 has a CCD sensor, unlike the D2X which utilized a CMOS sensor. It’s clear that this camera is aimed at the same kind of market as the recently announced Canon EOS 5D. From a features, control and performance point of view the D200 is closer to the D2X than any other model.”

CNET recommends these cameras for  the coming Christmas season.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX9
Canon PowerShot SD450
Casio Exilim EX-Z750
Kodak EasyShare V550
Nikon Coolpix S4

The one I am looking at is the Nikon Coolpix S4. It has a 10X Zoom, and a 6 megapixel sensor for about $350.00. It also looks very cool.

The Nikon D200 Digital SLR Camera offers the best of breed SLR functionality and 10.2 megapixels of resolution.

The Nikon Coolpix P1 is an 8 megapixel camera which offers wifi connectivity. Lets Go Digital has a review of the camera. “During the IFA event 2005 in Berlin I attended the press conference of Nikon Europe. In this conference Nikon introduced their first series of digital cameras with built-in Wi-Fi functionality. Nikon were not the first to announce a camera with Wi-Fi availability, but they were definitely the very first to deliver a camera with this function built-in the camera unlike Kodak did with the EasyShare-One; using a memory card with Wi-Fi functions. Nikon has obtained a lot of experience in the professional segment and by introducing the Nikon Coolpix P1 and P2 with built-in Wi-Fi functionality they take the first steps in the consumer market. “
