Ricoh GX200 looks more interesting
Ricoh GX200

A while back I blogged about Pentax Optio W60. While I still think the Optio W60 is interesting, I think another camera will suit me more: the Richo GX200. It has these key features which I am after in a DSLR complement:

  • shoots RAW
  • wide angle lens
  • compact chassis with relatively large LCD

But at $700? Eh…

Geotagging device for Nikon DSLRs

I like to tag my photos with GPS coordinates when no private information is revealed, but currently I have to do it manually via online photo sites such as Flickr and Zooomr because my photo gallery software has no such feature. This is not optimal because my own local copies remain geo-tagless and the coordinates are just best guesses.

I suppose by now you can understand my excitement when I read about the GeoPic II product for Nikon DSLRs. The GeoPic II appears to be a GPS receiver that attaches to the camera’s flash hotshoe, thereby making it somewhat portable. I still don’t know how well it would work, but it looks promising.

Then I peeked at the price. US$408!

Then I read the specs. No support for my D80!
