The Wi-Fi camera crew

With only four models available, it's premature to start talking about a wireless revolution in digital imaging.

And based on the models we've seen from Kodak, Nikon, and Canon it looks as if there'll be a generation or two of refinement -- in both the interface and the features -- before we can comfortably recommend them to consumer snapshooters. But if you've simply got to have the latest thing, these qualify. Here's how they compare on their cutting-edge capabilities.

Kodak EasyShare-One Read review

The EasyShare One offers a 3-inch LCD display, Wi-Fi capability, and excellent sharing options -- but what about traditional camera features? Resolution: 4 megapixels Display: 3 inchtouch screen Zoom: 3.3x digital; 3x optical Dimensions (W x D x H): 103 x 63 x 26 mm Weight: 225 grams

Nikon Coolpix P1 Read review

The Nikon Coolpix P1's good image quality offsets its novel but limited Wi-Fi capabilities. Resolution: 8 megapixels Display: 2.5 inch TFT LCD monitor with brightness adjustment Zoom: 4x digital; 3x optical Dimensions (W x D x H): 91 x 60 x 39 mm Weight: 170 grams

Nikon Coolpix P2 Read review

We love the Wi-Fi properties on this Coolpix P2, but we are sure the camera could have done better if it allowed us to connect to the Internet as well. Resolution: 5 megapixels Display: 2.5 inch TFT LCD monitor with brightness adjustment Zoom: 4x digital; 3x optical Dimensions (W x D x H): 91 x 60 x 39 mm Weight: 170 grams

* The Nikon Coolpix P2 is the little brother to the Coolpix P1, with a 5-megapixel CCD to the P1's 8-megapixel CCD, and a scant 16MB of internal storage to the slightly less scant 32MB of internal storage in the P1. Both cameras have the same 3.5X Nikkor zoom lens and 2.5-inch LCD.
