Oregon 550T

[+geoduck.5]

Has anyone used one yet? Pro's? Con's?

 

I'm looking for a set up for a group of non techies that need to occasionally go out and walk a boundary line and take pictures. Are they easy to use? Camera quality? I was originally going to set them up with an HP 211 with a CF GPS loaded with ArcPad and also a Sony Cybershot GPS camera but that might be too technical for them. Having one piece of equipment is more desireable than carrying 2 in the field.

 

Thanks in advance!

It's not the T model, but we have 2 Oregon 550s with cameras and they are really easy to use, and give a decent picture as long as you keep your finger away from the camera lens. AMHIK

 

Here's an example of a geotagged pic taken with my Oregon.

 

 

This is the full picture taken by the Oregon - it's not a great camera, but it's pretty good.

550 seems to take nice pictures.

I thought it was hilarious how my EXIF software tells m that the altitude is 199.00000203866514 m

 

A P&S will take better photos, but from your sample, it looks pretty decent and certainly more than good enough for web.
