Regarding personal experience using GPS handhelds and GPS-enabled cameras etc: I've long ago accepted that you just shrug and select Reykjavik if you want to have UTC. Even if these devices (the small selection I happen to use) *did* offer UTC directly, I wouldn't expect to find it listed next to London.
