This is roughly my situation. Lisa and I are doing a lot more travel these days and I find it very helpful to have GPS tagging on my photos to tell where each was taken (there were places in the Czech Republic that I didn't even know the name of until after the trip when I looked at the GPS coordinates). I'm not interested in adding to either my shooting workflow (taking notes and getting left behind by the rest of the group) or my post-processing workflow (synching up with a separate file of GPS data). And I certainly don't want any extra dongles or anything to carry with me. A GPS-enabled camera is the simplest solution. I'll be getting a K-3ii. BTW: I just noticed that the K-3ii has dual SD card slots! Bravo! Another feature made to order for me. With the K-1 I always shoot to both SD cards at once, just in case of memory card failure or one-off file corruption, the latter of which has happened to me a few times. -- Mark Roberts - Photography & Multimedia www.robertstech.com -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To unsubscribe send an email to pdml-le...@pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
