Sony has announced a digital camera, the evocatively named DSC-HX5V, that adds a compass to its built-in GPS. Based on my experience shooting with a GPS logger, direction is a useful bit of data to add; the question is whether anything that currently supports geotagging will also support directional data. More at Engadget, Gadgetwise and Gizmodo; thanks to Richard for the tip.
