The good thing about geotagging is that it provides an easy way to figure out where a particular photo was taken which could be useful when trying to identify something like a cathedral long after your memory of your trip to Europe two summers ago has receded into a blur.
The big question is: How accurate the information will be?
I think this new technology wouldn't be easy. What if I am inside a building? What if I'm in the middle of the forest? Would it really give me the exact location of where I took the photo? Sometimes I thought that it doesn't make sense. If the sky is cloudy or if you are in a city with tall buildings, GPS units doesn't even seem to work well. How much more this geotagging thing. And if they were able to solve this issue, the camera for sure would be so powerful and so with the cost. Why would anyone spend that much if he/she can just put the location on the photo as he/she saves it to a file.
