Di-GPS, a DSLR Dccessory That Stamps Your Time, Date, Location on Each Shot

Geotagging is rather easy with the di-GPS, a DSLR attachment that stamps your time, date, and physical location onto each shot you take. These kinds of accessories are getting more and more common these days, in the same way that physical scrapbooks captured the imagination of people a generation or so ago. This time, the scrapbook is digital, powered by a 20-channel SiRFstarIII receiver with WAAS. The result is an accurate representation of the geography of your shots, which should be very helpful is you just can't remember where that funny statue down in the village square really was in relation to the one tall tree on the corner.


One note of caution: For the US$300 that you'll pay for the di-GPS, you'll be buying functionality for only Nikons and one Fuji. If you have a Canon or a Kodak or someone other brand of DSLR, you're wise to steer clear of this product for now or put your money aside for the day when the manufacturers expand the compatibility list. Still, Nikon enthusiasts should feel right at home.
