I think it would be gread that you make a list of cameras, so people, when uploading their photo can pick their camera. Point is everyone can see what piece of machinery was used to make those photos :)
Also, it would be a great idea for users to be able to chose their camera(s) model(s) in the profile so, during the posting they have prefered camera (they're own) to chose first!!

I think that would make a great difference! You can see if someone was able to achieve great photo quality and generally to put his/hers idea to monitor, with for example some cheaper Compact! maybe someone was using DSLR and doesn't have much expiriance, so we could help and give some usefull advices to help them get the MAX out of their cameras :)))

...that would sure be a LONNNGGGGG list of cameras! Lol. I think it would be easier to just display the EXIF data

*edit* It's basically the same, just the it gets the info from the image automatically including shutter speed, aperature, model, make, etc etc. :-D

There has been some talk of including certain fields of the actual EXIF data (perhaps via a small popup window so that it doesn't clutter the page) ....

and there is an EXIF viewer for Firefox .. called "Fxif" (although I think it is broken for Firefox 2.0 and above)

Haha, I was actually mulling this over last week or so. The exif data might give some insight into the photo's posted. But the thing that I thought was the supply of the data would be made superfluous with any image editing done (ie adjusting for saturation, color etc). This is not to say that providing the exif data in the image description wouldn't be interesting, rather it may be deceiving to inexperienced users (the exact opposite it's supposed to do).

I just add the info in the picture info section for those who want to know.

picture info section? it may be the lack of coffee yet this morning, but, where's that?

he ment the description that you have option to fill during uploading process! ;)

haha, ic, my bad ... :)

Just the topic I was going to begin so I'll just tag in here. There have been several times I wasn't sure how technical get with an image review because I wasn't sure what someone was using. How about this;

On a Users Homepage, in the introduction box add one more line for 'Equipment'

I realize space is a concern but one in one line I could list
-Cannon T1i photoshop photoimpact- A digital artist could list their most favored two or three programs. You could still list settings for a particular shot or creation if you wanted in the description as you upload but you could check a homepage to see if a novice (or a confused fool like me) has the ability to do or correct something you've suggested.

As I suspect all should know... it is not just the camera and/or model... but also the lens... and how it is used... and the time of day... and the kind of day... and sometimes the flash!
When I am really curious, I simply download the image! Sometimes the exif data is there... sometimes not!
I have even downloaded an image to try out my ideas on improving it before commenting. I would also suggest that keeping a record of the suggestions made would help one to try improving her/his image whenever he/she feels ready for the challenge. :o)
When I think of political correctness... I try to use alphabetical order! :o)
