I use the hot-shoe because the tagger also shows compass  direction of the shot and attaching it to the strap may not give proper  compass heading.When you try to use the in-camera menu to activate the GPS, the camera  will not "see" the Solmeta unit as a GPS system and you may think it's  not writing the geo-coordinates in the EXIF, but it does. When you use  the NX2 software that comes with the camera, you'll see the pins on the  map and the proper lat/lon/alt.</blockquote>
