Actually it quite is there arent that many GPS devices for photography that record the orientation as well.
Also it's more advance then just a GPS right so all what i said was correct.

But why do i need to know that and why is it helpful for me?

Look up facebook generation
Quote: Wifi doesn't just mean connecting to the internets.
BT 4.0 can be used to create a wifi 'ad-hoc' connection, or device to device connection with no wireless lan base station. So wifi-bluetooth would be perfect for many new functions. Over wifi, it is certainly possible to transmit the video codec (the HD video stream), which would allow the 'remote viewfinder' function. Imagine a shutter release that didn't require line-of-sight IR. That's useful for everything from studio shots to bird feeder shots to closeup wildlife - and the 'remote' setup perfectly complements Weather Resistance.
I know but don't mix things up here!
BT is what we are talking about not WIFI 2 different things
Quote: We are talking LTE vs. ethernet. I imagine a lot of pro photographers would like to be untethered at events too.
Preciesly about LTE but you changed it to ethernet the last post
LTE is simply to slow and expensive to be off any use at the moment, sure some pro's might use it but they will be shooting in low resolution JPEG with compression then.
Not the type of photography most if not all won't do.

That's 2 seconds of work to add... if you lay awake about this then sure buy a logger i don't so why do i need to pay for it?
Quote: Also, I hardly recognize setting up cables as part of the scientific process. It's mundane and there's hardly any experimentation involved in swapping an SD card.
Jeez, you should work with film or slides for a change
Besides all this you haven't told me once again anything that would help me take a better photo?
