GPS on cameras

The Ricoh 500SE GPS-ready Digital Camera

This discusses a fairly normal looking digital camera with typical features. There are a couple interesting features.

First is bi-directional communication over either Bluetooth or WiFi connections. As you shoot pictures they can be automatically loaded into an external device, presumably a photo "vault" device that has bluetooth in it. The other feature this offers is for the camera to receive NMEA compatible GPS data over bluetooth.

The camera also supports a directly connected GPS unit. And the camera can record GPS derived location data into every picture you take.
