If they can get a GPS antenna into a phone, they ought to be able to get one into a camera body. What affect would metal camera bodies have, though?


A phone has a tiny tiny camera in it and it's been designed from the ground up to be an antenna. A lot of DSLRs have magnesium bodies that might block signal. On a DSLR the space around the pop-up flash is the prism for the viewfinder. Can't put anything there. My best is if you open up any DSLR or P&S you are going to be hard pressed to find any empty space. So camera makers have to decide if they want to make a bigger body for an internal GPS or integrate GPS externally as a lucrative add-on feature. You can guess what they choose..
