Pentax unveils GPS add-on for DSLR cameras |
The O-GPS1 is a GPS unit that allows geotagging of images. It attaches to your camera and allows the camera to add latitude, longitude, altitude, UTC capture time and direction as image metadata. Then you can use the data to place images in mapping software like Google Earth or just use it to organize your files.

The problem with most of the DSLR cameras that have been introduced recently is that they are either very expensive and high-end or they are budget offerings that lack the features most want. Pentax has announced a new entry-level DSLR called the K-x that has lots of features at a good price.
Pentax’s Optio W80 is the company’s toughest point and shoot camera yet. It’s also waterproof up to 16 feet underwater and it will survive drops from 3.3 feet and works in 14 degree weather. So if you are an adventurer looking for a rugged point and shoot, this one sounds like a good bet.
