I just *knew* you wouldn't be satisfied with a portrait/landscape
sensor.

Well, if you are going to know WHERE the picture was taken, the knowing
which way the camera was pointing would also be rather nice, wouldn't it?

Let me think about it. . . . . . Ok. I can see the it might
be useful. But I'll be happier when our camera's full photographic
potential is realized. For a start, that means no cameras running
any portable Windows code. I can just see the first couple of
versions crashing the cameras's CPU when calculating position and
direction if the shot is panned too quickly. Then I'd also want the
camera to take advantage of Homeland Security's mandatory
implementation of the Free Citizen's Personal ID database. Just
think, by checking the thumb print of the photographer, the EXIF
data could show who *really* took the picture. Of course this could
be easily defeated, as anyone who has eyeballed "The Minority
Report" should know.
