I've had pretty good luck with the ATP Photo Finder Mini (the one with the base station) I don't really use the base anymore, but it came in handy a couple of times. Now, I just use Geosetter (freeware) to tag my photos via a computer, I geotag all the photos when I travel, but I rarely use it at home.

Ah, well that'd be a big thing, I don't like completely isolating myself from my surroundings, especially for something that at least looks like its meant to be used outdoors.

One question. Can you see anything but the screen if you wear them?

I see no problems here. I've got a 5D mkII (which still works great: www.igorbass.com), and I will be getting the 7D as a second body for when I want to do wildlife or sports photos. Great as the 5D is, the AF and fps rate are its weak points.

The 5DmkII is a 1Ds-Lite, and this is the 1D-Lite

Always liked one of those. Gimme!

Yeah, I had a chance to play with this at the pdn show last year. It's built like a tank, but the Leica people are very.. well elitist if I can appropriate the word. The pitch the guy at the booth was giving was "Well you show up at a corporate event, but photography is getting more affordable these days, the CEO, he might have a Canon 1Ds III hanging around his neck, he looks at you, and thinks 'Why are we paying this guy, I could do it?', but you have something like this, and its a completely different situation"

I can't say the price surprises me, but I hope they've got a faster auto-focus going then what they had in that prototype. And better ISO. Needless to say I won't be dropping my dimes on this. If I have that much cash burning a hole in my pocket, there are several L lenses that keep calling my name. And maybe another 5D mk II and a couple of 1 series bodies.

Can't resist this, I've been running out of storage space on my 500GB drive. Just looked in the HD slot of my x200 tablet, looks like there's just enough give there for another 3mm. Going to take a gamble on it. Photos take up absurd amounts of space after you've been shooting for a couple of years.

I'd love a lens like that, but wouldn't it be much bigger then the current one, if you increase the speed by a full stop? I have the current f/4 IS, and it is a great lens, but I am not sure I'd want to add much more weight to the system.
However a 24-70 2.8 IS is likely to sell very well with the wedding photog crowd.

That'd be interesting. Hopefully Canon isn't planning to increase the price of that lens too much, it's already 1,799 or so. I can see it needing an update, with the 70-200 f4 IS being a much sharper lens. I guess if they keep the cost at the current level, I might finally jump to upgrading my non IS version of that lens. Or if the cost is too high, then I can probably pick up the current IS model at a bargain, so a new lens in that range is a win-win for me.

That'd be nice
