Thinking of getting this for my upcoming South America/Antarctica trip. Generally gets solid reviews, but everyone says it's huge. Will be using it with the 7D so will have to use the USB cable (groan).
Thanks,
Jeff

I use it. It is big(ish) but not heavy. I wouldn't say I have used it extensively but the battery seems to be lasting well. I have no complaints about the GPS speed and am very happy with he simplicity of the tagging. I like that there is no need to use any software to get the tags on your photos.
Can't you borrow a 6d for reviewing :)
Where you headed in SA? We're planning a trip to Argentina for the end of November
I'm taking a cruise from Valparaiso to Buenos Aires, with a few days floating off the Antarctic coast. The photos I've seen are spectacular, and people who have gone have said it's Alaska times ten. Can't wait!

Jeff,
Looks like a good trip with lots of coastal photo potential. The only thing I have read is that the seas between the Cape and Antarctica can be incredibly rough. Looks like the Holland America 20 day itinerary. Boy that is a long time on a boat.
Can't wait to see what you come back with. I'll be sitting on a rock waiting for the light to hit Fitz Roy just right
