Difficult to use GPS Function, Seems cheaply made
1

While I could indeed set up a Wi-Fi connection on my smartphone to transfer pictures and see their GPS identified locations, the process didn't always work, and the instructions weren't clear.  I also couldn't match a geotag to a picture after it had been transferred from the camera to the smartphone, and the GPS data didn't carry over into Photoshop.

I don't believe the camera has an auto shut-off feature, and the switches feel tiny and cheaply made.  It's going to be returned, and I'll just use my iPhone for quick and accurate GPS photo identification.
