If the cost of in-body GPS is close to zero, I'd like to have it built
in. But if not, I'd like commodity external GPS receivers to be
integrated over Bluetooth. They're cheap  (<$50), standardized, and
can be used for other purposes. I hate that Nikon charges $200 for an
external GPS receiver that you can only use on a Nikon camera.

Yes. Please.

I have the Tamron 1.4x TC with contacts that pass the SDM signal. The
DA* 300/4 is optically excellent on this teleconverter. Technically,
it autofocuses. But it oscillates around the correct focus, because I
think the camera is overestimating the required focus movement by
1.4x. It hunts back and forth a couple of times, then I often need to
make it AF a second time to really lock it in. All I want is the same
thing, with the ability to tell the body that it's there. That should
fix the AF and also improve shake reduction. (And a note in the EXIF
would be nice.)

(Note: Firefox's spell checker recommends "Tampon 1.4x TC." Bloody shame.)
