Ricoh (RICOY.OB) released a new GPS-ready digital camera, and this is one of the first true GPS equipped digital cameras that I've seen yet. There are Garmin (GRMN) and Sony (SNE) units that synch GPS and some cellphones in Japan doing geolocation tagging, but this is one of the first true cameras I've seen.

I'm not sure that I'm ready to trade in the quality of my 5D for auto geotagging, but it's nice to see these cameras finally coming out on the market.

Eventually look for GPS to be built into virtually every camera as an option.
