skreamer 1 #1 February 6, 2003 Hi there There are so many discussions of the merits of the various cameras available in the Photography forum, can't you include a section in the gear reviews for cameras? It would make it that much easier for someone looking to buy a camera, rather than having to ask the same questions in the Photography forum again and again. I'm thinking mostly of video cameras here, maybe stills too? Will Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nacmacfeegle 0 #2 February 7, 2003 Nice idea Will, but the market is really dynamic (far more so than gear development), so any reviews would be quickly outdated. I doubt that we (who else would do this?) would maintain the reviews, so their value would become diminished after only a couple of months. I hear what you are saying, that the 'what camera' is a perrennial thread over at the geek's place, but to my mind this is the best way to manage the issue. Or you could always nip down to WHSmith and stock up on any number of monthly publications which cover the tech side..... PS what do you have in mind camera wise? Or maybe we should take this to the forum... -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

I've been jumping a PC9 for a while, just bought a second hand PC7 to top mount for filming FS. I don't really think the market is that dynamic - people will still be jumping PC9s, PC120s etc for a very long time. Even if it just had about five Sony models in it I reckon it might be of use. Just because Sony doesn't make the older models anymore (eg PC7) doesn't mean there isn't a need for reviews for those cameras - lots of people buy second hand.
