Over the last weekend, and especially since I started looking at my
photos, I've been thinking about what features would be important to me.
As to GPS, there are times that it would be very nice to have it in the
camera. Although I'd much prefer that the astrotracer menu didn't suck.
The astrotracer feature is a brilliant hack, but it is a huge pain in
the ass to use. A friend of mine just posted on facebook how cool
astrotracer looks. I commented that I really like it, and she asked if
she could borrow mine. I pointed out that not only will it not work with
her canon, it is impossible for it to work on her canon.
There are occasions when I would like to remember exactly where I was
when I made a photograph.
So far, if I *do* want the location for a photo I can usually find it
with Google maps & add the coordinates to the key words using Adobe Bridge.
If it location was automagically in the EXIF that would be cool, but I
haven't found GPS to always be that reliable. My hand-held unit, an
early generation Garmin Rino 120, is subject to terrain interference a
lot. Plus, it takes a long time to acquire enough satellites.
I'm wondering just how robust an in camera unit would actually be?
