Admittedly Nikon users with the GP–1A units won’t have that feature. The second positive point, at least in the case of Canon’s GP-E2 is that it has a digital compass, and logs not only location by direction. There’s no messing with time zones or time offsets or keeping clocks in sync, and honestly this alone might be worth the price of entry. When you take a photo, the camera reads writes out the current coordinates to the image and it’s properly tagged. First, is you don’t have to worry about timing at all. There are two huge positive points for using a GPS that can tag images directly in the camera. This was one of the big selling points I saw in the Canon EOS 1DX mark II, and one of the features I was disappointed in both the Canon 80D, as well as the newest Nikon bodies the D5 and D500.īarring a built in GPS, a compatible external GPS unit that can feed data directly into the camera is worth a thought - perhaps even a real long hard thought.Īt $250 Canon’s GP-E2 is rather expensive for what it is, and while it can communicate with most modern Canon cameras, including my 5D mark III, through the hot shoe that means it has to be in the hot shoe. Of course, the easy way to geotag is to have a camera that’s capable of handling it on its own. Unfortunately, barring some specific circumstances, one fjord looks largely like another, and tagging after the fact in Lightroom isn’t really feasible for a lot of the images. There were a number of images that in review I would love to know where I was when I took them. Since my trip to Alaska in 2015, geotagging has become something that I’ve become increasing interested in.
