Although we have been hearing about the geolocation long time (in 2007 we said it would be commonplace), it was not until this year we have had an important range of compact cameras that include GPS among its features. A GPS in a camera?
Exactly. With a GPS chip built into a camera can store accurate information when and where they have made a picture. These data are automatically inserted the chip in the EXIF data (the ID of a photo) of images in JPEG or RAW, and then you can work with the appropriate software.
Just the software is a basic element for geolocation of photos. Currently, cameras with GPS depends on the software we have to work with these additional data we put into the pictures. There are not many options yet but slowly getting better, so that with a little patience and programs like Picasa , Windows Live Photo Gallery or iPhoto , go to the computer with the help of our photos is a really addictive.
Therefore I propose 4 compact cameras with GPS to begin with geolocation.
Panasonic Lumix TZ10, inveterate traveler
The Panasonic TZ10 is part of the Lumix range of cameras that I've always liked traveling considered pure.
Join Lumix model features desired for a compact pocket and little more could you ask for: small size, low weight, wide-angle, long zoom of 12 magnifications, video recording mode to 720p, quality optics and manual controls. With the ability to record in RAW format photos, it would have been the perfect compact camera.
As for the GPS mode, in addition to geopositioning our photos and be able to walk in a very visual our travels, this camera shows us the name of the city and country where the photo was made, and information on monuments and sites interest nearby.
The Panasonic TZ10 price is €350.
Samsung WB650, AMOLED screen to enjoy the photos
The Samsumg WB650 is one of the company's flagship cameras this year. It is also a second camera with GPS after ST1000 also includes WiFi.
This Samsung WB650 competes in the compact field of traveling with 15x zoom part of a wide angle, double stabilization, video recording at 720p and of course the GPS to locate all the photos we do with it. This Samsung model gives a special touch to the GPS through an internal software called visual map-view will let us know and we will display the name of the city and country where we take the photo and a small map locating the site of making.
For the more creative include, in addition to automatic modes, manual controls and a spectacular 3-inch AMOLED screen that will give us visibility problems outdoors, something important in a camera to travel with her.
The price of Samsung WB650 is €250, the most affordable of which we have selected for you.
Sony HX5, an entire camera to enjoy taking pictures
Very complete and full of powerful options is the Sony HX5, the camera company's GPS Japan.
Highlights of this Sony HX5 is its sensor, a model that incorporates the Exmor R and is therefore a CMOS with a backlight for better pictures in low light.
Another strength of the Sony HX5 against the competition are its creative ways, such as helping us to pan almost automatically, or HDR imaging. Video recording is also on this compact camera, and up the quality until the 1920 × 1080i. The zoom is 10 increases and starts at an angle of 25mm. Yes, it is more bulky and discrete compact than the rest of our selection.
The Sony HX5, which costs €350, adds a compass function to your GPS.
Nikon P6000, the veteran
We ended our selection of compact cameras with GPS with all oldest model, the Nikon P6000, which two years ago that remains on the market. Their shapes are not very compact, the design is more classic but what interests us, GPS is.
With the strength of a camera and have established numerous accessories, the Nikon P6000 can not boast of other basic features for a camera traveler, just as their is 4 zoom magnification. RAW format, VR stabilizer and optical viewfinder are its arguments.
The Nikon P6000 will cost around €375.
