Nothing like a little competition in the morning, eh? Just days after the Foolography Unleashed Bluetooth geotagging family hit the scene, in flies GiSTEQ with a mildly tweaked PhotoTrackr Plus (RT90, compared to last year's RT10). The only major difference with this guy is its list of compatible cameras -- Nikon's D90, D3100, D5000, and D7000 are now supported. It's still a two-piece solution, which requires users to plug one end directly onto the camera, but it touts near-instant bootup, low power consumption and the incredible ability of making far-fetched dreams come true. And by "far-fetched dreams," we mean "help you remember where your photos were taken." It's available now for $179 if you're memory's fading faster than ever before.

Pay In Checks to Your PayPal Account Thanks to Their Latest iPhone App Update [IPhone Apps]

Source: http://gizmodo.com/5656800/pay-in-checks-to-your-paypal-account-on-their-latest-iphone-app-update

Chase customers have been depositing checks via iPhones for months now, but from today millions of PayPal users will never have to go to the bank again. Well, other than to steal pens or use their toilet.

To use the app, you must take a photo of the front and rear of a check, whizz them off digitally, and then wait about six days for the money to show up in your PayPal account. Pretty easy, and it's something I'd definitely be using if I had an iPhone. Or got paid in checks. [iTunes via 9to5Mac]

Nikon Coolpix P7000 reviewed: a serious contender, but sluggish RAW performance

Source: http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/05/nikon-coolpix-p7000-reviewed-a-serious-contender-but-sluggish/

In case you weren't aware, competition's getting some kind of fierce down in that $400 to $800 not-quite-a-DSLR realm. We've got interchangeable lens options galore, a new breed of high performance compacts and the Canon G12. Nikon's got its aim planted firmly on the latter with the Coolpix P7000, a decidedly prosumer camera with the body of a point-and-shoot and the controls of a pro rig. The good folks over at Photography Blog recently put the P7000 through its paces, and while they adored the optical viewfinder, the build quality and the zoom range, they couldn't quite get over the notably sluggish RAW performance. Worse still, Nikon has yet again changed up its RAW formula, with the newfangled NRW+ only being understandable by the company's own software for the moment. They found "no unwanted noise" from ISO 100 to 400, with only mild amounts at 800 and 1600; the extra pro-like features were also lauded (neutral density filter, zoom step feature, virtual horizon and tonal range histogram), and with an exception for that sluggish RAW mode, they found it tough to not recommend. Particularly for those of you who'd prefer to stick with JPEG anyway, this here shooter looks to be a solid option if you've got the cash ($499.99 MSRP), but we'd recommend poring over the source link before making a final call.
