Am I the only one "put out" about no GPS in R5 or R6?

Re: Am I the only one "put out" about no GPS in R5 or R6?

Nope - it stopped me in my tracks ordering one too, I'd be all on on R6 if it had it and will wait for MkII hoping its incorporated by then i think, even consider other makers.

I have both the 6D and 7DmkII and it was this feature on both units which influenced selection, i held off on 7D until it had it too. ML completely solves for the battery drain issue when 'off' on the 6D BTW.

I like to know where I take all my shots and have no time for post processing GPS tags.

Was hoping at least something like the EOS M6 Mark II would have shipped with native GPS.

A: You can pair you phone or a dongle? wot - what a rubbish solution, no thanks.

There is at least a hotshoe option which should ensure GPS bearing is accurate has anyone used these? do they rate them?
