Digicam orientation sensor | |||||||||||||||||
When you tilt your camera 90-degrees to take a photo, to get more vertical coverage, those photos are displayed sideways on your PC. It's not hard to correct, with software. But if the camera sensed its orientation, horizontal or vertical, it could embed that info in the photo, and software could pick that up and display the photo with the correct orientation, automatically. - Hoytster

There are cameras that do this. I understand that the Canon Powershot SD series does this, and possibly some others. A friend of mine has one, and the orientation works- when you rotate the camera, it senses it, and when you play back images it senses the orientation and rotates them automatically on the screen so that they are right-side up.
Look at an electronics store near you, there have to be some cameras from at least one or two manufacturers.
