Gidday Brandon, this is a good idea, and will be a great resource, hat's off to you! I think I've got all the data and migrated it from the wiki Brandon, but I may have missed soemthing (but I don't think I did) - any way it may be safe to take down the currently we are moving data tesxt from the main page if you want..

Brandon - someone (217.23.230.11) has started using images from external sites within camera pages to illustrate the camera being described. While this is a visually atractive it is not in the spirit of the "free doc licence" as these images belong to, and are copyrighted by someone else. Contibutors should be encouraged to upload images of cameras that they have taken themselves but not taken from other sites without permission. Regards - Martin --Mhtaylor 10:51, 5 Nov 2004 (EST)
Martin, I agree fully. I'll set it up so that we can do photo uploads and do this the right way. --Lbstone 11:01, 5 Nov 2004 (EST)
I have a question: if the img was stored on a free host (like www.250free.com), its "correct" put link of image here for ilusrate?
ps.: sory about my english.

I think that would be OK as long as you took the photograph in question or got permission from the owner to use it. You cannot just download other people's images to a new location and start using them from there. It's not just about theft of bandwidth but it's about theft of intellectual property.

Images from original advertising
Is it considered OK to insert images scanned from original advertising documents (not current ones, typically pre 1980s) ?
Typically the company having issued the documents, either doesn't exist any more, or doesn't care about them being rediffused, and it is common practice in collectors' books and websites, when no picture of the actual thing can be easily obtained.
