Templates or Categories

This has been something that I've wondered about for a while... On pages like the Fuji FinePix V10 page we have a {{Fuji}} template at the bottom of the page. This is an idea that I started a while ago, but I wonder if it's a better idea to use categories rather than this kind of template. Any thoughts? --Lbstone 01:57, 21 January 2006 (EST)

I think both are good: categories are useful for some types of listings, and it would probably be good to have a Category for Fuji cameras, Canon cameras, and so on. On the other hand, templates allow you to have links to the most prominent articles on the same theme, for example the {{Olympus classic}} template (see Template:Olympus classic) acts like a menubar. --Rebollo fr 08:06, 21 January 2006 (EST)

camera reviews

What about a list with sources of camera reviews?

I can't think of a good reason not to do this. I say give it a try and we'll see if it works. --Lbstone 13:27, 29 January 2006 (EST)
