4. flickrRSS

5. NextGEN-FlashViewer
The same NextGen plugin for Wordpress, only this time using The famous Adobe Flash Plugins (SimpleViewer, TiltViewer, AutoViewer, PostcardViewer)

Demo available at http://travel-junkie.com/geeky-stuff/wp-plugin-nextgen-flashviewer/
- plug and play, just like any other Wordpress plug-in
- easy to configure
- does no processing on the images (except for getting the image metadata), so it’s lightning fast
- you can have multiple galleries per post
- integrated with Wordpress 2.0’s wysiwyg editor (the way QuickTags is implemented doesn’t allow easy placing of buttons in the toolbar, but that’s not a big problem, since you are editing code, anyway)
- (since 0.2) output is customizable with templates

7. AWSOM Pixgallery
AWSOM Pixgallery is an Image Gallery/Archive plugin designed to make it easier for Artists or Webcomic creators to set up a portfolio of their artwork. It features Automatic Watermarking, captioning using the Visual Editor or HTML, sorting, auto-thumbnailing, Comicpress theme support, per image/gallery commenting and more. It is a Wordpress native Plugin and does not require any config or file changes or outside tool integration to work; just activate the plugin and add a line of text to any post or page and your Gallery of Images will appear. All options are handled through the regular Wordpress Admin interface. More features are in development now such as tagging, extensive theme control through Admin interface, and more

Your blog entry made it so much easier for me to choose which one I want to use. The thumbnail feature is very important I think as it keeps blog loading time fast. Visit my blog to take a look if you wish!
THANK YOU AND KEEP UP THE GREAT BLOGGING HERE!

Thanks for the list. Does any one know how to integrate NextGen Gallery with any Star Rating plugin? It would be great to find a plugin (not full theme) that gave you the same functionality but with the ability for users to rate each image.
Any Suggestions?
Thanks
