Nikon Camera Geotagging
Looking for a good Digital Camera can geotag.?
I have a Nikon fantastic, but it is big and complicated. I want something that still takes photos of good quality, but is smaller and simpler. I am also looking for one with the capacity to geotag. If someone could list as a camera that they own or have used, etc, which is nice, compact, reliable that would be amazing, or if you know of a device, perhaps I could use with a camera for geotagging
If you do not mind the hastle, get a GPS device and sort things out on your computer. Here are some software solutions: http://www.zackvision.com/weblog/2006/09/geotagging-photos.html The obvious advantages are that you would have a single solution for your DSLR and Point & Shoot, and you are free to select any camera. I have been taking a look at the Fujifilm F30 / F31 to compliment my D200. This is just an average point and shoot a decent light, but the rocks in low light. (http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/fujifilmf30/page16.asp In my view, the nights in the city is where I want to leave the camera bag in a hotel room …) One way easyer to go, is the Sony GPS-CS1 ($ 150) that works with almost all new Sony cameras. The http://news.sel.sony.com/en/press_room/consumer/digital_imaging/release/23993.html What happens is that I can not find Sony camera I like.
Canon Eos 50d
Hot on the heels of the one year old 40D, the Canon EOS 50D is a perfect replacement or upgrade to that semi pro, starter SLR and healthy step towards a professional body.
It is almost identical to the vunderkind 40D, but only on the outside. The dramatically increased imaging device combined with a host of top end extras will mean that the extra lenses you sold your family for will serve better than ever.
One of the most notable highlights include an incredibly robust ISO range of 100-12800 which brings the Canon in line with the Nikon equivalents. The LCD has also had its resolution doubled to 640×480, a vital improvement over the 40D which made edge and clarity checking nigh on impossible. The new screen combined with the improved live view features make this camera a completely different experience to the 40D. The list of technical improvement is long comprehensive and very impressive and includes everything from a new processor to an HDMI port.
If for some reason you are forced to lend this robust and beautiful piece of kit to some n00b family member, which is code for ‘my photography is rustier than a Hollywood motherboard’ there is a little secret weapon called CA mode. Creative Auto Shooting mode or idiot-plus mode allows for point and click ease with your R21k SLR. From here you can move two pretty sliders that will adjust background blur (aperture) and brightness (exposure). There are also six different picture shooting styles which will change a battery of settings and give you completely different and occasionally impressive photographic styles.
When you graduate past noobhood or dare we say it read the manual, you will notice that many of the advanced features and manual settings have also been improved and tweaked. The war for megapixels seems to be coming to an end with features and price being the battleground of the future. It is for this reason that the $1500 Nikon D90, complete with GPS geotagging and HD video, is already making the Canon age prematurely.
With a nice price reduction we would gladly sacrifice bells and whistles for the better image quality the Canon promises but until then, this camera is only for fanboys with lens collections and trust funds.
