no digicam is perfect all-around, so for people with multiple cameras, the 2 step thing offers much more flexibility imho. however, the lack of RAW support on this thing is a deal breaker for me - when i go out and shoot stuff that actually needs geotagging, i do it with dSLR's in RAW.]]>Sep 2nd 2008 5:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/atp-photofinder-mini-geotagger-doesnt-require-software/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/atp-photofinder-mini-geotagger-doesnt-require-software/

Make that and I will buy one. Promise.]]>Sep 2nd 2008 8:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/atp-photofinder-mini-geotagger-doesnt-require-software/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/atp-photofinder-mini-geotagger-doesnt-require-software/
Seriously, I was EXTREMELY interested in your product before, but acquisition and signal problems kind of remove any reason to purchase your products. After all, no matter how convenient it is to put my card in the Photofinder and have it automatically geotag my photos, *if there's no tracking data, there's nothing to add, and the product is useless.* It more or less becomes an expensive joule thief. Now you have a 2-piece design which probably uses the same GPS solution? Gah.

The way I see it, you have 2 ways to make money: Fix the original; that's the one that will sell. Otherwise, keep spending all your money on marketing.]]>Sep 3rd 2008 3:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/atp-photofinder-mini-geotagger-doesnt-require-software/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/atp-photofinder-mini-geotagger-doesnt-require-software/Sep 2nd 2008 5:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/atp-photofinder-mini-geotagger-doesnt-require-software/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/atp-photofinder-mini-geotagger-doesnt-require-software/Sep 3rd 2008 5:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/atp-photofinder-mini-geotagger-doesnt-require-software/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/atp-photofinder-mini-geotagger-doesnt-require-software/Sep 2nd 2008 6:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/atp-photofinder-mini-geotagger-doesnt-require-software/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/atp-photofinder-mini-geotagger-doesnt-require-software/1. Yes !!! we fully understand that the camera embedded GPS is the final solution, and it's the perfect product that most users want.
But we may want to highlight the differences:
(1) how many models can provide the function on the market ? more than 10 models ?
(2) how many people will buy a new camera just add the GPS function ? discard your old camera ?
(3) how much the price is to buy a GPS camera ? between US$500 and US$149, which selection is easier and better.

2. And buy a PhotoFinder, your family members and friends also can use it because we can accept most format of memory cards and cameras.
You or your friends just buy one set PhotoFinder but you can share the geotagging function for everyone.

"Thank you for your interest in the ATP PhotoFinder mini. Unfortunately this item is only available in Asia and Europe, and we do not have any plans to carry this product in US/Canada at this point.

What is going on here? Why on earth is this unit not available in North America.]]>Oct 21st 2008 2:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/atp-photofinder-mini-geotagger-doesnt-require-software/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/atp-photofinder-mini-geotagger-doesnt-require-software/
I'd rather upgrade to a D90 and get Nikon's new geotagging hot shoe accessory than buy this(at the moment).

And I agree with sockatume. Why the extra step and piece of equipment? Make the GPS dongle have a PC interface like USB so you connect it directly to your PC and apply the geotagging data to a folder of photos using some lightweight software. No need for a card reader and doesn't interfere with the photographers will to protect their photos first.

And it HAS to support RAW-type formats. A product like this can't be taken seriously by professionals if it doesn't support at least the RAW formats for the big name camera manufacturers.]]>Sep 2nd 2008 10:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/atp-photofinder-mini-geotagger-doesnt-require-software/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/atp-photofinder-mini-geotagger-doesnt-require-software/Sep 2nd 2008 10:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/atp-photofinder-mini-geotagger-doesnt-require-software/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/atp-photofinder-mini-geotagger-doesnt-require-software/Nov 14th 2008 10:26AM
