On a recent trip to Portland, I purchased a Nikon D100 digital SLR camera from CameraWorld. Over the holidays, Christine had dropped and broken my Nikon 990 so I got permission to purchase a replacement high end digital camera. I bought Christine a Canon Elph 230 for Christine so she could carry around a digital camera in her purse. The Elph takes great pictures given it’s form factor, about wallet size. I was looking for something that had better optics and results at the expense of portability.
I researched the high end offerings from both Canon and Nikon. Our digital video camera is Canon but all of my film SLR gear is Nikon. For Nikon it came down to form factor versus the ability to reuse my Nikon lens and accessories. The form factor choice (small without sacrificing optics or results) was the Nikon CoolPix 5700. It was small enough to fit in my North Face jacket pocket (barely) and offered excellent optics and result. The flexibility choice was the Nikon D100. The D100 is a digital SLR camera that takes all of my Nikon lens and accessories (I did have to upgrade my flash to a SB-80DX). After much angst and a call to my camera buddy Raman, I decided to go with the Nikon D100. I’m very pleased with the decision and it produces excellent digital photos.
Now that I’m producing high quality digital images, I need a high quality photo printer. My next purchase is the Epson 2200 Photo Printer. This is latest and best consumer photo printer from Epson.
