GPS Photography

So it has been time for a new digital camera. I have always wanted to geotag all my photos, but could never be bothered to geotag manually (who wants to waste time post-processing indoors when you could be out taking more photos… ). However there is little point in taking photos and not showing where they are.
I have been a long-time user of a panasonic digital compact, so when panasonic announced the DMC-TZ10 (aka ZS7) with built in GPS (and the bonus of full manual control) it looked like the camera for me.

Note the GPS antenna!
So I am now the proud owner of one and checking it out. Early reviews have suggested problems with battery life, I will have to say (but I did get a spare battery with it)
A review will follow shortly and posts about another use for this camera…
Well I’ve got the model underneath (without the GPS sadly) and it is a mint camera. The battery life isn’t too bad – I can just about get mine to be on for an entire footy match before it’s battery has gone.
[...] following the arrival of my TZ10 with built in GPS, here are my thoughts on it so [...]
C,
Yep, even with the GPS battery life is not so bad on the TZ10 either. I imaged the large LCD is also a factor…
