Time for a PENTAX compact camera system forum!

Hi Luke.

Yes, that's where I put the sample image thread that I created, but the small sensor designation is a bit misleading. I think there is also the "Fixed-Lens APS-C Camera Forums" which it might fit under in a sub-forum but technically it isn't an APS-C sensor, and fixed lens might also refer to a fixed focal length rather as well as a non-interchangeable lens. Actually while we're discussing the topic, the Sigma DP sensor isn't quite APS-C sized either, lol.

I wonder whether there are maybe too many camera specific forums that don't contain many threads, and when new classes of camera are being created it means the forums either need to keep up and be expanded or become less specific and more flexible.

This makes even more sense.

I don't know how much you change everything up once it's been running for awhile. If the site had a ton more users, you would definitely want all the subdivisions. But as the traffic is now, you could really just break it down into 3 or 4 bigger all-encompassing forums. I just don;t think you could ever easily re-assign older threads into the new forums. Or it would be a massive headache and really wouldn't streamline anything that much.

Maybe it could just be 3...... Black cameras, silver cameras, colorful cameras......

Lol, yes something like that. It just seems that there are few new square pegs that don't quite fit into any of the existing round holes. It's not really a problem in how I access the site, just an observation. I tend to stick to current threads using the list on the right and only rarely go into any specific forums or sub-forums.

I have been in discussions with Amin and Mark on this - awaiting outcomes. I agree that the current camera market makes it difficult to encompass all the variations.
