Question 1

With the GPS locations, will it attach the gps location information to the pictures saved data?

Accepted Answer

I am amazed that someone incorrectly answered "No" to this question!! The correct answer is: Yes, when "Use built-in location data" in "Location data options" in the location data options menu is set to "On", the W300 camera starts receiving signals from positioning satellites and will embed location data in each image's EXIF metadata. This is the main purpose of having a GPS/GLONASS receiver in a camera! But note that the accuracy of the location data will depend on how many satellites the camera is receiving signals from, and if you are in a place that blocks satellite signals, location data will not be recorded. When the camera is receiving signals, an icon appears on the monitor that indicates how many satellites signals are being received from, and thus how accurate the location data will be. For the most accurate location data, you should wait to take a photo until the monitor indicates that signals are being received from three or more satellites, which in my experience takes a couple of seconds after the camera is turned on.

Question 2

What type of memory card must I buy with  this camera ?

Accepted Answer

"The camera supports SD, SDHC, and SDXC memory cards.  The camera also supports SDHC and SDXC cards compliant with UHS-I.  Memory cards with an SD Speed Class rating of 6 or faster are recommended for recording movies (when recording 4K UHD movies an image size/frame rate of 2160/30p or 2160/25p, cards rated UHS Speed Class 3 or faster are recommended).  When using a memory card with a lower Speed Class rating, movie recording may stop unexpectedly.  If you use a card reader, make sure that it is compatible with your memory card.  Contact the manufacturer for information on features, operation, and limitations on use."  Quote from the Coolpix W300 Quick Start Guide, Pg. 32, Memory Cards That Can Be Used
