Pentax K100D 6.1MP Digital SLR Camera Shake Reduction and 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens

I’ve finally made a decision on which camera to buy. Now I just need to scrounge up the cash.

It’s got a nice set of features, includung in body shake reduction and a good image processor. While it’s only 6.1MP it’s price ($624) is hard to argue with and it’ll get me back to taking pictures sooner.

[update] Scott upgraded to a Canon EOS 30D so I’m buying his old camera, a Canon Rebel.

Amazon has dropped the price of the D200 body to $1700.

This would go nicely with the gps data logger I pointed at earlier.

Wintec WBT-200 is a mult-function Bluetooth GPS data logger in an ultra compact form factor. The stand-alone track recording function is independent from any host and can be operated with Bluetooth off. The recorded track can be configured and even uploaded to Google Earth automatically with the bundled GPS utility.

I’m tempted to pick one of these up soon to carry when I’m taking photographs. There are drivers available for Linux and OS-X that allow one to download the data. It’d be easy to write a script to match up the EXIF timestamp and the data log to geotag photos before sending them to Flickr.

Driver info is here.
