I=92ve been researching the prospect of using gps-enabled cameras in our
zoning and equalization departments so folks can take digital pictures of
properties, structures, livestock and the like and have a very simple and
efficient method for uploading, maintaining and viewing digital photos
within Arcview 9.2. It just doesn=92t make sense to me to print off a digi=
tal
photo and file it away in a manila folder when those images can be brought
into a GIS application. Rather than bother with creating a point in the GIS
for each photo and creating a hyperlink to each photo, I=92m interested in a
streamlined way to do it.

Horizontal accuracy of 15m or better would be appropriate for the gps
component. The ability to enter a few key attributes for each photo would
be nice but a lat and long is all that=92s really necessary. Image quality
needs to be good but it should be considered that they won=92t be taking
photos of weddings, sporting events or butterflies =96 just structures,
properties and livestock. A variable zoom lens with the ability to accept
telephoto lenses is important as they will be taking wide angle shots as
well as shots from distances up to =BD mile. Durability, ease of use, comp=
act
size and dependability are other important factors. Our max budget is $1500
per unit but, we=92d like to find something for around or under $1000
including any applicable software and accessories needed.

I=92ve looked at both the =91Ricoh Pro G3=92 camera and the =91Jobo photo G=
PS
hot-shoe unit=92 and would appreciate knowing what =91real-world=92 users, =
not
retailers, have to say about these or any other gps-enabled cameras or gps
devices for cameras=85

Thanks.
