The Options for a GPS Digital Camera
Perhaps you travel a bit and love taking photos, but later you have trouble remembering just where you encountered that glorious two tiered waterfall. Wouldn't it be great if you could combine location information on those photos to jog your memory?
Wouldn't it be handy too to be able to find your photos based on where they were taken? For anyone who really takes a lot of pictures with a digital camera this could significantly cut down on search time.
Well, there are ways to do this, and we will talk briefly about them but GPS digital cameras are starting to emerge; those which have built-in GPS to do the trick by themselves. Learn all about the options here and come back as new possibilities hit the market in the coming months.
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 such a camera 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 are only a few higher end cameras that offer true built-in GPS.

I want one, but if you are going to have geo tagging there should be a consumer grade camera that is waterproof.
