DXG and Geotate team on geotagging video camera

We're still waiting for geotagging to go mainstream on consumer-level still cams, but Geotate isn't waiting around in its quest for location-aware domination -- it's teamed up with DXG to develop the first geotagging video camera we've seen. The camera itself isn't anything special -- it's just another average DXG HD cam, based on the DVH586 -- but the geotagging is powered by Geotate's Yuma software, which does most of the heavy lifting on the server at import, so we'd expect it to be pretty robust. No word on pricing or availability, but we're assuming it'll fall in line with the rest of DXG's lineup on the cheaper side.

So does it tag each keyframe? Or will it just tag whole videos with one location. It'd be cool to have a moving map if you were driving while filming...

Is that 50 megapixel I'm seeing, or does the JPEG artifacts cover the dot?

Yeah, because DXG would really be the first company to market a 50mp camera.......

I just don't understand why people would want this.

Oh---It would be very useful for the botanist, exploler, geo-scientist etc etc
even if it is to be used as a sub-camera to make a record of finding.
And for the TV reporting even for the police it would be indispensable.
I want to have one, provided if I got another assistant to record.
