Pentax K20D GPS Version

Post by John »

This is the latest, on the way imminently. A camera that logs where you are by satellite and records the details in the EXIF info. I suppose now that location is able to be attached to our ePHOTOzine images then this is a logical extension.

Whatever next?
Best regards

Am I the onlyone who finds this a bit worrying. It tells you where you where when you took the photo but not why you were there.....

This all to "help" an ageing population.
Next will be a build-in zimmer frame complete with oxygen bottle, satnav and tracker so that the kids can safely leave you alone in your own back garden. :-d :-d

Now if only you could remember why you wanted to be in the back garden. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

After a 1000+ foot uphill trek meeting the wind and rain head on up to Chew Reservoir today - well at least the map said it was, as visibility was poor at the top - I'd like to know why I was there ... :??
