GPS Digital Camera
The Advantages and Disadvantages of a GPS Camera
The primary advantages of a GPS digital camera are obvious. Using GPS technology, a photographer can have fairly specific location data recorded along with their images. Just as date stamps helped in jogging the memory for years so can location information. It's good for professionals and average consumers/casual users as well.
In addition, for those who take a large volume of pictures these geotagging cameras could really make finding photos easier.
There are, at least currently, some drawbacks to a GPS digital camera however. Clearly, operating the GPS feature consumes battery power, so battery life is negatively influenced. In addition, a camera with true built-in GPS will be bulkier and heavier. Then of course, the cost of these cameras is also higher than for a similar model without GPS. The other primary problem at this time is simply the limited availability of built-in GPS. Right now, there the number of cameras offering true built-in GPS is somewhat limited.
Things to Think About
Before you buy a digital camera which the salesman indicates has GPS, be sure you understand what you are getting.
What Do You Say?
Will a Camera with GPS be Your Next Camera?
Yes, that sounds really cool and useful!

I have two now. I have a Fuji F550EXR that the GPS hardly works at all. Has a real hard time getting a satellite signal. The other camera is a Nikon D700 with a Promote GPS receiver. It is perfect. I'm looking for a better pocket camera that has GPS. Looking for reviews on all the cameras mentioned above.

I definitely know that I'm going to have one of these. I dont know if it will be may next camera, but i will try it out for sure, add to my collection.
Doug says:
Yes. I travel frequently & like to hike or mountain bike to remote locations. A GPS or geotagging camera would be extremely helpful in organizing my photos, as well as helping me remember exact locations. I would like to know if the GPS metadata includes altitude.

It does sound neat. Maybe upload photos of geo-tagged places to Google Earth... that would be sweet :)

gogy says:
Perhaps :)
Dennis says:
The location tagging adds good info to the picture. A GPS camera that has some navigation capability is good too; anyone can get lost and need a little help getting home.

Yes. I have a Nikon Ftn I bought in 1968. Have boxes of slides, negatives, and pictures I've taken over the years. I know where some were taken, but it sure would be nice to know for sure, many don't even have dates.
I decided to upgrade to a digital PRO camera about a month ago. I was told Nikon and Cannon have an attachment, that I don't believe interfaces with the camera but some other device.
When I expect to pay a minimun of $2500 for a body I expect GPS installed as an intergal component. I can buy a GPS for less than $100 and they can be made extremely small. Anyone afraid of battery drain can use the on/off function for the GPS.
Nope, just another feature I don't need to pay for on my budget!
Ken says:
No - I don't like the potential for loss of privacy.
Joie says:
How about this: That sounds really cool and useful! But it's really another feature that I don't need to pay for on my budget.
sandyspider says:
Sounds interesting. My don't think I need that on a camera.
DennisF says:
No! I post some pics online and don't want the entire internet knowing where my home is.
