I'll be able to provide links later on (and right now my network
connections are kind of iffy), but if anyone knows or has tried this,
I'd be really interested in hearing of your experience.
I have no personal experience, but I know that some higher-end Nikon
cameras - D300, D700, D2X, D2H, D3 - can, with an appropriate GPS device
and (maybe) cable, geotag images as you take them. Sony has a gadget for
their cameras - maybe not just dSLRs? - and Canon also has a method for
having their cameras talk to a GPS unit.
With the rate that GPS units are coming down in price, I wouldn't be
surprised to start seeing GPS built into less-expensive cameras in the
not-too-distant future if it hasn't already started.
