My opinion is that both cameraphones and cameras will converge to something that can:

1) take a photo
2) augment its conveied message through title, description, tags, …
3) geotag it
4) UPLOAD IT online (!!)

I think number four sets the difference between what Marc says (just drop a GPS chip in a camera and you’re done) and what i think (I want to shoot, enrich and upload the photo right here and right now).

you can now easily publish your maps+tracks+geotagged pics on your own site or blog, see this example.
It works by copying/pasting a line of code which basically loads an iframe and hence works in almost everything that parses html (blogs, forum posts, etc). Not working yet in Safari on Mac but we’re working on that.

As I’ve mentioned before as people turn away from megapixels as being a differentiating factor between cameras, the manufactures will turn to other things such as GPS. Probably from unbranded cheap eastern imports first, before the big players catch up.

Of course it’s only now that all of us consumers have started to create a need and demand that’s it’s happening :)

It seems to me that most people would be happy to pay £100 extra for a camera with GPS automatically and simply integrated, like the time and all the other camera details are in the exif, without having to mess around with google maps/earth/[an other geotagging software].

As far as I can tell the Ricoh G3 is the only one available and is both ugly and expensive.

Surely this is a simple and obvious market decision for the camera makers!!

It seems we are much more likely to see and mobile phone with a GPS/location software and a 5M pixel camera than we are to see a 5M pixel camera with a GPS built it.

Which I for one think is a shame?
