			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- sphereit start --><p>The results are in, and <a href="http://www.jdpower.com/" title="J.D. Power and Associates" target="_blank">J.D. Power and Associates</a> has once again emerged unscathed after throwing themselves into the fray of customer satisfaction surveys to bring us their <a href="http://www.jdpower.com/electronics/ratings/digital_camera/index.asp" title="2007 Digital Camera Satisfaction Study" target="_blank">2007 Digital Camera Satisfaction Study</a>.</p>
<p>If you are looking to buy a digital camera of any caliber,  I recommend performing a comparison against this satisfaction study.</p>
<p>On a personal note, I&#8217;m <a href='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punch_and_Judy' target='_blank'>as pleased as Punch</a> to see that in the <a href="http://www.jdpower.com/electronics/ratings/digital_camera/dslr" title="Digital SLR" target="_blank">DSLR</a> (Digital Single Lens Reflex) category; the Nikon D Series has swept all five ratings categories, getting the highest marks possible in each!</p>
<p>Now I feel better about spending all the money I did upgrading from my <a href="http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/nikond70/" title="Digital Photography Review of Nikon 70" target="_blank">D70</a> to my latest <a href="http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/nikond200/" title="Digital Photography Review of Nikon D200" target="_blank">D200</a>. Even with the <a href="http://www.dpreview.com/previews/nikond300/" title="Digital Photography Review of Nikon D300" target="_blank">D300</a> on the horizon, the over-all expense and surprising low <a href="http://www.dpreview.com/learn/?/Glossary/Camera_System/effective_pixels_01.htm" title="effective pixels" target="_blank">effective pixels</a> count (12.3mp) for this class of camera keep it out of my range of desire &#8211; at least for now.  Not discounting the other technological advancements (e.g. full-frame (35mm) <a href="http://www.dpreview.com/learn/?/Glossary/Camera_System/sensor_sizes_01.htm" title="sensor sizes" target="_blank">sensor</a>!) of the new D3/D300 series, but I&#8217;m very happy with my D200 &#8211; and apparently so are many others!</p>
<p>Maybe I&#8217;ll upgrade again if I figure out how to make a profit with my interest in photography.  But right now its just another one of my expensive toys that I&#8217;m occasionally able to impress others with.</p>
<p>Right now I&#8217;m still struggling with &#8220;Phase 2 &#8221; of my <a href='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gnomes_%28South_Park_episode%29#The_Gnomes' target='_blank'>Underpants Gnomes</a> three-phase business plan.</p>
