The Canon PowerShot camera series comes to mind. I have an S5IS, and play around a little with it, but haven't done any development work. With the CHDK (Canon Hacker's Development Kit) you can do all sorts of things inside the camera, such as run a script to detect motion, set speed/aperture outside the manufacturer's default ranges, and convert the USB input into a remote camera trigger. I can conceive (although I haven't into it) that you might be able to insert a script that would accept GPS position data through the camera USB port, and write it in the EXIF data on each photo as it is taken. It might be worth a look to anyone interested in this with the time to investigate.
