Requests to add specific lenses to the data base should be sent to cameras@pbase.com. PBase is pretty quick in adding lenses & cameras.

The Sony Alpha A900 is in the database, but doesn't show any users.

Yet a search of the database turns up several users, including myself. Is there some way we can get the user count added to the database?

we're building up a database of cameras so that people can view real photos taken with various equipment.

there will gradually be more and more information on the cameras themselves which should be useful or interesting to people shopping for new cameras or learning about old cameras.

the camera database will also be tied into the forums as soon as possible.

Slug: Just a note to let you know how important I think your Camera and Lens Database galleries are. Whenever I'm checking out a new lens or camera, your database gallery is my first stop to see how they do in the hands of mere mortals like myself, as opposed to the usual pro shots found on the manufacturers' websites.

The fact that the Database photos are selected at random adds to its value, since all sorts of shots, the good the bad and the ugly, are included, which allows us to see the "real deal".

Besides using it for my own research, I always mention it to others whenever I'm asked for my opinion about one camera or another. At some point I should print-up a few hundred cards to hand out to save myself some time when approached while I'm shooting, with just two websites on it: "PBase.com camera database galleries" and "DPreview.com"

That's all they need to know.

I just ask myself if some day this camera database will be updated. I wrote several mails for this, nothing happens. Samsung, Sony, Nikon, Canon, all companies have new cameras and we stand on a database that is more than a year back in time. So what? Pbase was a reference once for this database and finding pictures. Today this reputation vanishes due to this lack of interest as it seems to me.

I agree, I'm writing several mails for Pentax K30 and nothing happens yet.

This data base is the first place that I look to before buying any lens or camera. It's helped me to make some very important decisions before I purchase new gear!
Great job and Thanks for having it! :D

I did the same for other brands last year and in a couple of days the new bodies and lenses were in the DB, including the images I provided. Will try it again with another missing camera.

Yes, the database is an interesting and useful tool and alas, not very well maintained.

A few days ago, since I'm posting pictures from one, I requested addition of a Canon G15, the latest in the G series P&S cams. http://www.pbase.com/dw_thomas/canong15 So far I haven't seen an auto-response or anything.

In the past year or two I have requested a camera, a lens, and a couple of films with varying degrees of success. I would think it shouldn't be that big a deal to add stuff, but then mayhaps some of this IT marvel is a bit convoluted and tedious due to seat of the pants design or the like.
