Hi.
You guys should pay some attention to the camera images, if i compare a NIkon D90 with a Canon 500D, the 500D is bigger than the D90 on the image, and that doesn't correspond to the truth.
It's something that can be misleading to "common" users.
Anyway, great job.

Hi, thanks for pointing that out. We didn't intend the images to be "to scale", nor did we intend to mislead. We'd thought about adding a feature down the road that would enable you to somehow accurately see the relative sizes of the cameras (perhaps based on the dimensions).Comment -

See my thoughts on adding the volume, ie. cubic centimeters or cubic inches/feet etc -
-
@bjarni: in an early version we did include volume, but we weren't sure if people would be able to make sense of it, e.g. how big is 200cm^3? :)

@alex - good point - how about utilizing it in valuing how large the image could be. ie. scaling all the inputs to make the image off the cameras relative in size and also state: Y is 43% larger than X etc.?
and further on you could have 3d models of the cameras in reals size where users would be able to turn it and twist. and maybe both the models being compared moving in the same way... -
-
@bjarini: yeah we might try that, scaling the images, but it does depend on the images being quite similar (e.g. both straight up 2d front shots I think).
3d - keep dreaming :) we'd love to, but that sounds quite challenging to do automatically. -

@alex - with the 3d well you got to look forward to tackling ;) well actually... i'm not a programmer but one way might be to take pictures of each camera of each side (small difficulty of getting the pictures but that's an operational issue) and then somehow putting them to scale and build the 3d image from them... difficult probably, especially the automatic part :)
i'm no programmer, which might be obvious, but it would be ultra cool ; )
Edit:
some rethinking
well for some automatics it would have to detect where the camera is on the picture to "crop" it and then know which side is what to build it. hmm probably on the difficult side for automatic. okok and this is probably only one of many hurdles :p ohh well i'll keep dreaming -

I was suggesting this also.
May be you can have a button to show the relative size of the cameras and only enalbe it if you have both cameras as you said "straight up 2d front shots I think".
At least almost all the cameras I'm comparing complains with this :)
Thanks. Excellent site! -
