[edit] Launch Dates?
Is it necessary to include these in the template? I think we should rely on the articles themselves to provide this info. IMHO info on the quarter in which its realeased is fine enough for a template. For comparison, car articles (BMW, Nissan) show these succession boxes using only the year of introduction. More specific details are then left to the articles themselves. A reader of the succession infobox is interested in "information at a glance". If there is a specific model he wants more info on (including launch dates) he would go to the article. Zunaid©Please rate me at Editor Review! 13:29, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
- I started this infobox adding launch dates because they weren't organized in the articles, neither always present, I looked for it in dpreview timetables. This precision was adding information, it should be replaced in each article. It should be useful to add a field into the Template:Infobox_Digicam. My inspiration were car timetables, indeed, and I put some thoughts for the quarters divisions. --Marc Lacoste 23:26, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Low end Prosumer
Consumer cams are like the G6. The 400D is a lowend prosumer camera
- Just because it has a tiny pentaprism up the top of it doesn't determine if it aimed for people who are amatuers, or amatuers who brag that they make money. The lowest end of Canon's SLR range, digital or film has always been considered to be aimed soley at the consumer. To justify this, Canon advertises more about the cameras creative modes instead of the manual modes, the latter more preferred by a working professional or advanced amateur. Price tag and build quality also are factors that come into play. For this reason, the 300d/350d and 400d shalt remain as a consumer based camera. 60.240.117.207 17:41, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
