Following an annual tradition, Sony has loosed several new HDR-series
camcorders. Stop carrying that silly GPS dongle, as the HDR-XR520V
(240GB of storage), HDR-XR500V and HDR-XR200V (both 120GB) pack one
onboard along with NAVTEQ maps to geotag photos and videos alike,
automatically detect time zone, highlight current map location and
possibly save your life during an extended walk through the woods.

Yes, and they also introduced a net/notebook computer with integral
GPS capability.
I'm actually surprised that GPS hasn't become more common in digital
cameras. The cost of adding the GPS chips has become quite cheap and
there's a clear benefit from having the pictures be geocoded. How
many of us have collections of old photographs and no idea where some
of them were taken?
Me, I've inherited something like 40k negatives and transparencies
when my father died some 3+ years ago and I now need to dig through
them !!! That'll keep me quiet for a few years !
