Potential new toy


Recommended Posts

My husband saw the Feb 26 news release for the new Ricoh RDC i700G camera on digital photography review. It will have the ability to store the coords for the location of the camera whenever a picture is taken. Looks rather pricey, but I guess I need to start saving my pennies for his Christmas gift....that is, if it is ever released for sale in this country. Anyone know anything more about this? I wonder how accurate the gps will be. Still seems pretty cool!! icon_cool.gificon_cool.gif

I think kodak made a digital camera that you could plug a garmin in (sorry, no magellan at the time I read it icon_frown.gif ) and it would store the location and time on the picture. Sorry I don't have a link for you.

 

Whats neat about the one you found is that you can use a fairly cheap CF card receiver (unless they make you buy certain ones due to driver issues) or you can pay more and get a better GPSr that may also allow an active antennae.

Thanks, Dougsbrat. Thanks for the link to GeoSnapper!! I had never heard of it before now.

 

I also noticed the link to mediamapper. Looks like it is more designed (or at least priced!) for professional applications. However, in just a few minutes of looking at some html examples, it appears to be very impressive. (pause as I wipe the drool off the monitor...oh, it looks nice!) Does anyone have personal experience with mediamapper? I was wondering what kind of learning curve there was to being able to use it well. I guess I will post on the GeoSnapper forum as well.

 

Thanks again. This looks very interesting!!
