Yes with a little adapter unit on top but not built in. You can get  
GPS too. But not on entry levels although there is a Coolpix WiFi  
integral (P1?)

I was just being ironic about pointless 'must have' features. There's  
nothing to stop them building in a phone so you can discuss the shot  
with the client as you shoot; an MP3 player so you can have music  
when the client hangs up; games like Tetris on the LCD (use the  
toggle button) for the wait when the client decides to come down and  
show you himself; lots of extra front panel lights and noises to keep  
the model interested/alert between shots; an SMS facility so that you  
can tell your computer which shot that was; an internet connection  
mode so that you can download a stock shot and pretend that you took  
it; a 'creative loss of control' mode that simulates an artistic  
temper tantrum....
Of course, consumer models can be sillier than that - those are just  
the serious professional options.
