The previous high end compact from Nikon, the P6000 had a built in GPS. Although it had a slow initial GPS lock problem it was an extremely portable, convenient and capable way to do geotagged photography.
The replacement camera, the P7000, has removed this feature - disappointing Nikon. The only manufacturer with the vision to include NMEA serial GPS interface capability to it's high end digital SLRs has tried once and given up on a compact camera with built in GPS. As a previously confirmed Nikon SLR user I'm sorry to say that it is time for us to take a closer look at the Panasonic Lumix offerings such as the
DMC-TZ10 with "Travel Mode" GPS built in.
