Old Technology.... Ilford HP5 in 72 load ( full frame 24x36 , real film) 
35mm Cartridges......
Obsolete?  It was an obsolete advantage over 20 years ago.....

GPS?  Why?  Why not a MP3 player plus a full Siriuis Radio adapter too?

It's a camera....... not a Swiss Army Knife......

the Leica d200 i ordered from b&h just arrived. when i put the 512 mb,
er, um, agfa, pan, 100-3200 variable, er, roll of film in it, the
counter wound itself up to 67. forty seven pictures before i have to
change, um, film? holy smokes!! LEICA HAS NEARLY DOUBLED THE LENGTH OF A
ROLL OF FILM!  i can now take 67 pictures without having to change, er,
film, while everybody else has to change at 37. sweeet! and i also
discovered that it has an input for a gps! so i no longer have to wonder
exactly where that drunken photo came from, it'll be in the EXIF data, i
mean, it'll be printed on the leader.
