Hi folks,
Does anyone out there have experience using a GPS system to add coordinates to EXIF data for images as they are being shot? I am curious about several things, since I frequently photograph in remote locations. 1) Is it useful for you, or just a pain-in-the-neck? 2) What tie-in products are available for Canon EOS, and which camera ports do they tie in through? (Does using a GPS system preclude an electronic remote release, for example?) 3) How clumsy are the set-ups you've tried in the field? Too many cords, plugging and unplugging...? 4) If a camera battery grip also had the GPS built in but cost as much as a regular extended grip + GPS, would you be interested in it as a product?
Thanks in advance for responses.
Scott
