Pentax just announced the new O-GPS1, a new GPS enabled geotagging unit that is designed to work with Pentax SLR units. O-GPS1 sits on the hotshoe and lets you record GPS coordinates and the time photo was captured. In addition it can even keep track of which direction you were facing when you took the shot. All of this works with Google Maps giving you the chance to see your photos on a map.
The fun part though is the AstroTracer function. It only works with the K-5 or K-r camera bodies and it couples with the Shake Reduction system to let you shoot celestial bodies.
The unit can calculate the movement of stars, planets, and other bodies using the latitude obtained from GPS data and the camera’s alignment data (horizontal and vertical inclinations and aspect) obtained from its magnetic and acceleration sensors, then shifts the camera’s image sensor in synchronization with the movement of the objects.*** As a result, stars and other bodies are captured as solid points rather than blurry streaks, even during extended exposures.
That’s not all though. Pentax O-GPS1 even offers a simple navigation function to let you find location of photos you’ve taken or you’ve marked on your computer.
