I bought a Canon EOS Rebel T6, and then bought the GP-E2 to use with it since I like the hot-shoe attachment. UNFORTUNATELY, there are several problems I discovered after purchase.

I have been using a Canon 7D for about 2 1/2 years and I bought it as my main camera to use or my self and during a Photo & Video Foundation Degree.

I heard through the Canon Pro website that an Issue 2 firmware was being released for the 7D and part of this inlude the aility to use...

Simple Controls

I use the GP-E2 with my new Canon 70D Camera. It can be shoe-mounted, placed in a AB-E1 Bracket attached to the camera (and connected with an interface cord which is provided with the GP-E2), or worn in a pouch on your belt (and connected with a longer interface cable also provided with the GP-E2).

Easy To Use; Improves Functionality; Well Made; Works Well With GPS

This receiver is garbage in terms of its ability to quickly find and lock onto a fix. When it has done so it's convenient and useful, but the time it takes to get a fix and worst of all its complete inability to do so if you're not completely stationary makes it worthless to me.

Before shifting to Canon, I had been using Nikons with GP1 for a long time. But this GPS unit is something else, especially to use as a logger, with which one can prepare a complete map. I find it very helpful in my studies with wildlife and biodiversity.

Except for the price, which is way too high for something that's standard fare for much cheaper cameras, this GPS tool is outstanding. I did several tests with it, on roads and under a forest canopy.
