Following a series of checks with sources in the Far East, researchers for Banc of America…

We haven’t heard much about Jobo’s Photo GPS camera add-on since it was announced around the time of last year’s PMA show, and it now looks like that’s been for good reason, as the company’s apparently decided to have another go at this whole “product launch” thing at this year’s PMA. From the looks of it, however, not much has changed with the device itself in the ensuing months, with it still promising to attach to your camera’s flash hot shoe and record GPS information as you shoot, and squeeze all that data into your images’ EXIF metadata (or XML file in the case of RAW images) when you sync it up. Assuming things don’t change any further, you can now apparently look for the unit to hit “mid-year,” when it’ll set you back $159.

 


Well we finally got our grubby mitts on the recently discovered Agfaphoto DV-5000G camera / camcorder / game player, and we’ve got pictures to prove it. Unfortunately for us, seeing the device in person didn’t change what we already know is true — you can’t play NES games on it, thus making ownership of the device a way less attractive offer. Of course, that’s our little niggle with the camera — you may think it’s just what the doctor ordered, and maybe these pictures will help you arrive at that decision.
