One of the things I wish that lightroom could do is make use of the accelerometer data to level the images in post processing. Yeah, it works pretty well when there's a visible horizon just using the image, but the accelerometers would get it so much faster. In a similar vein, they'd also be

Henk: smartphones are centered on communications technology, where cameras generally are not. Thus the difference … a difference in engineering/design focus. I tend to agree with Paul on this, however: My favorite cycling camera is my now-ancient Light L16. It's like carrying a large cell

For a bicycle trip all one really needs is a top of the line phone. In good light and with the lens clean (very important with a phone) my iphone 12 pro mac is nearly as good as my Pentax K3, and an iphone 15 pro max is several generations better. And of course it privides GPS and great mapping

For me it is incomprehensible that all smartphones have GPS but most DSLRs and mirrorless not. For landscape and nature pictures it is so useful to have it on my K-1. If GPS seems to easily fit in a flat phone, why not in an APSC-C? For me this is another step forward to kill real cameras

It seems that the only ones with internal GPS are the K-1, and the K-3II There might be some mode where you can use the gps off the phone through the app on the K-3 III. Or that might be something that I saw my u4/3 can theoretically do. What I have been doing on the K-3 III is just taking

Sorry, none of those - they all need the clip-on O-GPS1 as do the K3i & K3iii, K5 series & a few others. It seem only the K3ii has built in GPS like the K1. Alan C On 20-Jan-24 06:30 AM, Alan C wrote:
