Syncing with a real digital camera?

I'm curious if anyone knows whether there are some digital cameras that will sync with the One and geotag the image. I'm asking this because when I travel, I would prefer to use a digital camera for tourist shots. I really only use my smartphone (currently iPhone waiting on a One) to take quick indoor or silly stuff. But for travel, I like the digital cameras with real optical zoom or even swappable lenses, but many of them don't have GPS to tag the photo.

Any thoughts?
 
You might look into "Eye-fi" sd cards. They connect to phone, tablet, or laptop by creating it's own wifi. If your camera does not have geo tagging built-in, I believe the pro version of the card can create a geo tag using wifi based location. I don't have the pro version so I can't tell you how well it works. I use mine in a Canon T3 and it works great. You can even set it up to automatically dump(upload) the pics on the camera to make room for more. Basically making it so you never run out of space.
Most new DSLRs today have geo tagging built in, and some have wifi capabilities, but I your looking at an older model camera the Eye-fi card might be a solution for you. Here's a link to their website with a chart comparing the different cards. Eye-Fi Products: Compare WiFi Cards: the Pro X2, Mobile X2, and the Connect X2 | Eye-Fi
