I have owned this camera
I have owned this camera for about 3 weeks now. Unpacking it was a breeze. It took a very short time to charge the battery. Once I plugged in the battery, programming the initial basic settings like the time and location, was easy. However while I have used the GPS feature, to be on the safe side (re battery draining) I keep my GPS `OFF'. If I am actively going to be in an area where I specifically want the `added' feature of the GPS then I will turn it on. BUT I will try to remember to turn it off as soon as I am done. Even if you power off your camera - as long as the battery is inserted in the unit the GPS will be running 24/7. This WILL drain you r battery.
