Just occasionally I've wished I had recorded the GPS location of a shot - once for sure in the White Desert, east of Cairo. We were camping under the stars, at least an hour from the nearest town, and it would be interesting to see exactly where we were. I guess it's one of those features that's great to have when you really need it, but not much missed otherwise. Not sure about taking out the popup flash, I used mine today to throw some balancing light into a contrasty scene.

Had not seen that view before, so Pentax is putting the GPS module where the pop up flash used to be. On the other hand Canon removes the built in GPS from one of their models because no one cared. Honestly, I sometimes use the pop up flash, but I don't think I've ever missed having GPS, and if I needed it, an add on device that Pentax already makes seems like a pretty good option.
