It's just the old chestnut of mirrorless response time that lets it down for me. Right now I am giving photography a miss. I am decorating my 94yr old father's kitchen and dining room! NEVER worked this hard...painting ceilings is a killer.

Roller painting is hard work but easier than by hand with a brush. I am in UK until next week when I return to Spain. I have two ceilings to do and then my projects are finished! I am then into September photography time. Best time of year for outdoor shooting! Still warm but less hot.

Fuji put an ND filter in the X100 but not in the other cameras, which is.a shame. I used it a lot in mine. I find I switch off the GPS most of the time because it really eats batteries. I had this problem with LUMIX, Canon, and Nikon cameras. Fuji's answer is to 'borrow' the GPS from your phone, if you can get it to stay connected with the phone in your pocket, but I have yet to get it to work even with the phone sat on the table in the garden next tot he camera. I did find it works well on the Nikon P900 but does drain the battery of course. I didn't have it making a log but only recording individual shot data and that helped a lot with battery use. Although I have bought four batteries now because non-Nikon ones are cheap enough

I agree with you Jan. The Fuji Remote App that geotags is fairly useless in that it does not update location but uses the location last stored. So you need to continually refresh the app and then do the GPS update to the camera. Useless! I keep mentioning it on the Fuji-X forum and hope that Fuji will address this.

I have one but rarely use it. Seems that some of the Sony mirrorless can take GPS data from a smartphone for EXIF data. Anyone know if this works for Nikons yet?

Remember reading about a work round for missing gps data. The guy took a single location shot on his phone when location shooting with dslr then applied data in LR. Bit clumsy but better than nothing. Currently racking memory as I scan old pics as I try to recall old trips.

I've never really understood the necessity for gps in cameras. These last couple of days I've been going back over the last 10years of photographs as I prepare to get rid of a computer. (No need for two desktops now I've retired) I can honestly say that I could return to the exact spot where I took every photograph on this computer, so why do I need to have a pinpoint map reference? I suppose I might understand if a photo was taken on some Himalayan trek...but even then why does it matter? I have returned to places to retake photos in the past, to try different lighting or sun angles but the desire to repeat a shot is very rare. On such occasions, the very intention is burnt into my memory sufficiently to know where I need to go. I just think it's another gizmo that we kid ourselves we need.

Wait a few years Eric, it took me all day to remember where my kitchen is... Now fully fed up! Seriously, I do find it good to have a GPS location for the majority of my photographs, I can select a location and immediately have every image I took there ready to view at a mouse click. Including the ones I forgot. By zooming in or out one can find a general area or the detail of a particular location at say Cadwell Park, without ploughing through countless folders of image files, almost instantly.

Not only that but if I receive a request for a photo of a particular person I can find all my images of that person from 24,000 images with a couple of clicks. The map locations do have to be made by hand, but I do that on a day when I am bored and it's raining. The face recognition is pretty well automatic. It does get it wrong occasionally but no worse than me. Occasionally the errors are hilarious! If only it worked with flowers...
