[QUOTE="Bob Blaylock, post: 230463, member: 16749"] It does seem odd to me that Nikon's GP-1/GP-1a is so bloody expensive, when there are several aftermarket alternatives that are so much cheaper, with no apparent loss of function. I have a third-party GP-1 knockoff that I got via Amazon for $50, compared to about $300 for the genuine Nikon item. I've never tried the Nikon unit, but I have a difficult time imagining that there is any way that it can work any better than my $50 knockoff. But yes, having it built in, as on the D5300, is a very good idea. As it is, with my D3200,if I want to have my pictures GPS tagged, I have to install the GPS, and wait a few minutes for it to get a lock. The connector sticks out too far on the side of the camera for it to be anyway close to feasible to just leave it on the camera all the time as I would otherwise prefer. [/QUOTE]
