Looking forward to TDP review of 6D!

How so? What does it do for you? I understand it marks location in the EXIF, but what is the advantage in that for the average photog? I know where my shots were taken. I suppose you could use the geotagging data in the EXIF to store and sort images, but for most folks I don't think they get that fine grained. For instance, I have folders called London or Vegas and then they're broken down into Day One, Day Two, etc. Easy enough to do without geotagging. I can see where geotagging would be handy for posting to Google maps or some such thing, but otherwise I'm not too clear on what other advantages there are in using it.

I got a GPS fob for my 1DX, and I have to say, I really like it. With Lightroom 4, you can jump to the Map page and see exactly where the shots were taken. It is quite handy for trips. However I agree that you can easily live without it, and make do with other means. Mostly it is just a fun gadget, and it appeals to the geek in me who likes to see that kind of information. I like how it also tells you the elevation and compass direction of the shot. Plus it automatically calibrates your camera clock (if you like it to be spot-on). You can set the update frequency to something reasonable like every 15 seconds, so it doesn't drain the battery.

When I do field work I take a lot of photos. I have an extra notebook that I write down where photos were taken. The built in GPS would be quite nice for that...i.e., one less notebook to carry.
