Stefan, most loggers for camera use are not so very accurate - there is no need for them to even have 5 m accuracy. Indeed I have used mine to plot where I have been and according to the logger I was about 20m off the road on occasion!

The army are not actually that brilliant at it either if you listen to all the collateral damage reports.


I use the QStarz logger. It was my Christmas present last year.

Number 3 would make a great Christmas card!
Although the sun is distracting I quite like the silhouette effect in number 4. Maybe you can crop it so the sun is less intrusive?

I use AVG and Zone alarm, after Norton360 screwed up my last computer.

GPS is not so accurate as to pinpoint a house anyway.
I use a GPS logger when I'm out with my camera, and add the GPS info to the jpegs. I like it, and found in invaluable for my holiday photos in the US, and will doubtless find it so again when (if) we go back to Tanzania. All very well knowing you took a photo in the Serengeti NP - but that park is the size of Northern Ireland!
It takes a while for a logger to locate the satellite so I'm not sure a button to log the data would work, unless the camera is permanently in contact with the satellite.
I'm assuming it will be built in, rather than the Nikon system of sitting a logger on the hotshoe.

Funny how quickly your attitude has changed Matt. On November 30th you were saying what a friendly lot we are, and now we are the devil's spawn.
If you were to take a less aggressive stance in your postings maybe you would again see the friendly side of us.

We are all merely saying that our experiences with SRS are different to yours. No bias involved, just our experience. That yours was different is a shame, but that doesn't make SRS a bad company to do business with.

It seems we are friendly as long as we agree with you, and are unfriendly and biased and every other negative thing you have called us, when we choose to disagree with you. It's a forum. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, whether we agree with it or not.
Either accept that fact and become a normal member, or don't accept it and go away.

As long as the announcement isn't the death of Pentax I'm quite happy.
We'll know all about it tomorrow. Maybe.

The sources I've seen only refer to a Pentax announcement, not a new camera. It could be anything, from a new model, the K20D GPS update, or a new lens, roadmap, or even a business announcement.

GPS won't help with the theft of copyright - it can be removed from the exif just as your own copyright info can.

I understood the GPS to be built into the new K20D, which makes it a "new" model. If it is just an add-on then it has little over existing loggers, such as I have, and means you still can't get the GPS data into RAW exif.

Maybe it is the K20d GPS that Chris@Srs referred to?

Thanks for the link Vikram - wonderful photos!
