Does this Camera Exist?

[DGS49]

Whilst touring in Europe a few weeks ago, I pondered the downsides of snapping hundreds of pictures on a vacation then looking at them a couple months from now and wondering where the hell and what the hell they are.

I voiced my opinion of the greatest tourism camera ever: A pistol-grip affair with an included microphone (voice recognition, of course), so that the pictures would all be CAPTIONED with the date, time, place, and what (the fuck) I was looking at.

At any later time, the captions could be edited, moved around, reformatted, or eliminated altogether, but the wondering about the details would be eliminated.

To illustrate: You are standing in front the shrine of Our Lady of Comesichiama in Casa di Putana, Italy, as you snap the picture you say into the microphone, "April 3rd, morning, [details]..."

When you download the pictures on your computer, the caption shows up at the bottom of the shot.

Does this camera exist? Why or why not?

It doesn't exist because the Chinese either haven't heard about it or haven't stolen the technology to develop it yet. But they just read about it on USMB, so it should be out by Christmas.

The bolded part exists on your cell phone camera.

My camera roll is not consistent about place. Not sure why. Date and time yes. Voice tagging the photos is a good idea.

I don't think it would be new technology. I wonder, personally, why nobody has introduced a pistol-grip camera. It seems so logical to me, since we stopped looking through the lens. One handed operation alone would make it worth the price.

My iphone doesn't know what country I'm in, let along the city or what I'm shooting at.

Not only does it exist, but it has been out for a couple years now. The DJI Pocket.

Thanks. I think this one is actually more like what I had in mind. It facilitates use of the cellphone camera as I desired. And while purists don't love the quality of pictures from a cell phone, they are as good as I require.
