Since determining that the EOS R3 eye controlled focus is defective by design, (Covered in an earlier conversation.) I am looking at the R5 or R6 Mkii as a lower cost alternative, the R3 having no further attraction for me. For the past several years, I have been geotagging my images using a GP-E2 on an EOS 5D Mkiii and using an EOS 6D Mkii. I am not willing to give up this capability. With regard to the R5 and F6 Mkii, I have seen some cumbersome schemes using a Bluetooth link to a smart phone which I do not find satisfactory. I also saw, in the specs for the R6 Mkii, a reference to displaying GPS data but no indication of the genesis of those data. Furthermore, I came across one passing reference to using my GP-E2 on either of these cameras with an AD-E1 Multi-Function Shoe Adapter but this comment was not solid enough for me to trust.
Is there any way, except for the smart phone scheme, to geolocate images with the EOS R6 Mkii? If not, I shall simply have to postpone my transition to mirrorless.
