News Improvements to the camera review section

Adam · 05-07-2010, 12:52 AM

Over the past several weeks, we have been making small tweaks to our Camera Review Database in order to make it more useful and accessible.

Most recently, we've started working on completing the database with camera photos, and today, we're happy to announce the addition of a new form with fields designed specifically for camera reviews. Our new camera review form includes fields familiar from the lens review database, such as pros, cons, and rating. There is also a large field for you to describe the camera's features and value, as well as a main review field.

This system is dynamic and handles post title & camera name for you automatically.

Over the coming days, we will be cleaning up this section and moving or removing current replies that do not constitute full reviews. With the introduction of this new form, we aim to see this section be less confusing to use, more uniform, and more helpful to readers!

We'd like to add that the following cameras are missing accompanying photos. If you have photos of any of these, please post them here.
What's currently missing:

K100D - needs improvement
*ist - needs improvement
*ist D - needs improvement
Pentax 67
Pentax Z-70p
Pentax Z-70/PZ-70
Pentax Z-20p
Pentax Z-20/PZ-20
Pentax Z-5p
Pentax Z-5
Pentax A3/A3000
Pentax KX Motor

To test the new form or begin post reviews, head over the the Camera Review Database! Enjoy!

Great work... One small typo I noticed though, "continuous" is incorrectly spelled (last u missing) in the spec tables' "Continuous shooting" item.
