What about a way to locate lost/stolen cameras that have built in GPS?

1. GPS is a receiver-technology; the camera would need a transmitter too (e.g. cellphone) or you'd have no way to track it down. 2. Assuming pix (w/ GPS in exif) from the camera show up on Flikr or the like, it still needs a unique-camera ID (such as a serial-number). Knowing that (for example) there's a Flikr-user shooting an a55 with lots of pix whose GPS/EXIF data places the camera in the LA area, doesn't help: you'd need to know if it's a PARTICULAR a55... - Steve S. |

I haven't checked myself yet, but what about the USB device serial number? It's an optional part of the spec, but if it is used, it should be unique and can be read out.

I'm not sure why it lists the A100, as it doesn't seem to be supported. It certainly never used to be listed back when this thread started. To check I have just uploaded an (out of camera) A100 JPG file and it couldn't find any serial number, although strangely, when uploaded to Jeffrey's Exif Viewer, it does list an 'Internal Serial Number' for the same file, even if it bears no resemblance to the cameras 'external' serial number.
Perhaps they do have some kind of serial number hidden away in the Exif data for someone to discover. |

Ahoy!
Unless I've overlooked a link in any of the previous posts, has anyone mentioned this site as an additional reference option? |

It is really interesting idea. We can even use 3G technology to ensure the security of our Camera.
