GeoTagger: works with most cameras

I just found this, and i want one! Its called a GeoTagger which connects to the Hot Shoe (usually used for External flash) on your camera and when you take photos, it records the GPS location of where the photo was taken, which way you where facing, and some other bits and peices. then, when you get home, you use software to link the 2 together and your sorted. pretty interesting idea. i have to get me one of these!

more new cameras from Photokina

2 new cameras from Photokina today. First is the Sigma SD14 DSLR, which is 14.1MP camera for about $1000. not too shabby. Next, we have the Hasselblad H3D. this is just mad. its a DSLR, and comes in both 22 and 39MP models! file sizes are up to 110mb per photo (which is about 80 photos on an 8Gb card, so you would want to carry a lot around) and will cost between $30 and $40k (depending on model). I think i will stick with my canon for a while.... [update] adding links... Doh!

Apples Photokina event started

TUAW (the unofficial apple weblog) has some coverage of the Apple Photkia event. Aperture 1.5 released, more info comming.... [update] Well, more info about 1.5 is out, but we wont get our hands on it till "Later in the week" when ever that will be. Also, of note, Aperture will now work on a Mac Mini and a Mac Book. This is interesting, because originally you needed a minimum of a iMac because of the graphics card. now, pretty much anything will run Aperture! One issue: I have just ordered my Mac Pro with a gig of RAM, but the minimum RAM for a Mac Pro is now set at 2Gb! I will need to get the extra ram for it sooner rather then later...
