The Sony GPS-CS3KA is a new GPS image tracker that’s compatible with most Sony cameras and camcorders. The GPS CS3KA has a more modern, rounded design than the model that it replaces, but essentially offers the same functionality. It allows you to record the time, date and location for each photo that you take, and then use Sony’s Picture Motion Browser software to see them on Google Maps. The Sony GPS-CS3KA offers built-in dual card slots for MS/SD memory cards and battery life of up to 15 hours. The estimated availability date is March 29th, and it will cost $149.99.
