    Let's see if it bridges the gap between DSLRs and mainstream digicams

    Good color reproduction and image quality, good 1080p video recording, superb LCD display, 26x optical zoom, rugged build, ergonomics, hybrid image stabilization, auto bracketing

    Noise at ISO400 and higher, image quality could have been better, lowest ISO 160, no automatic panorama stitch mode

DSLRs have always been an object of aspiration and desire, but the prohibitive cost has been a major deterrent. As if to address this issue, camera manufacturers have attempted to bring the best of both worlds - relatively affordable price and certain features of high-end digital cameras.

Nikon's CoolPix P100 sports a look that is similar to its DSLR range of cameras. This camera is an upgrade of the P90 with a 10.3 MP CMOS sensor with improved shooting speed, better light sensitivity and less noise replacing the 12 MP CCD, a slightly higher optical zoom of 26X from the earlier 24X, the increasingly essential video recording capability at 1080p with stereo sound, and also a vari-angle high-resolution LCD display to name a few. Does this digital camera really bridge the gap between DSLRs and mainstream digital cameras? Let us find out.

Too late for review Techtree. Also isnt Fujifilm HS10@22.5K the cam in talk for 30x optical zoom and high fps, slow motion video and other first time features as well. However, at 22.5K a Canon EOS1000D DSLR with one kit lens a good value for money is available. At 45k-55k we have the 550D and Nikon D90 with kit lenses.
