Canon EOS R50: Does the camera have GPS and can it record the location pictures were taken? I have GPS in my phone can the camera use that? I see the camera has WiFi - so does the phone perhaps that can transfer the location at the time a picture is taken.

    A decent GPS chip is so relatively inexpensive, it’s shocking that’s not just built-in!

        Not really. As this application calls for just a receiver it would be relatively low power plus it would only need to update its position when it is on or when a photo is taken.

          GPSrs generally takes several readings over a period of time to get an accurate fix. Photographers like to not to have to wait for a minute or so before the shutter fires, so it would need to be running all the time.
