I have two K-5 cameras One Hoya built and one Ricoh built. So far I notice on the Hoya built version there is a GPS menu item that's not present in the Ricoh version.

Perhaps you should update the firmware.

Does the Hoya camera have a GPS built in? I don't know. I see no GPS data in the exif information on the Hoya camera however. Other than this they seem identical and both are solid cameras.

If you update the firmware you grt the GPS Menu
