So if you haven't already posted this (have you?) it would be good
to know which cameras make it the easiest to share GPS
coordinates - for those of us about to upgrade..

geotaggable cameras: don't hold your breath
by Shankland October 19, 2007 3:03 PM PDT
There are a very few cameras that are readily integrated with GPS systems. Among them are Nikon's higher-end SLRs--the D200 and D300 and the new D3. Canon's 1D Mark III, 1Ds Mark III and 40D SLRs can be fitted with a wireless control accessory that also has a GPS port.

However, the way most people perform geotagging is to carry a GPS while taking the photos and later add the location data to the photos by using software on a PC such as GPSPhotoLinker. Using that method, most cameras are as good as any others. If you want to tag raw images, you'll probably have better luck sticking with mainstream cameras given their proprietary file formats.
