Need some attention to cost/price
I know it is a dynamic attribute that is hard to track, but you have to have something about price in there. Even if you started with MSRP at launch, it would be better than nothing. Great tool so far, otherwise!
I’m confident

Yes, the update has pricing. No, it doesn't do what I want. All it does is show memthe best price for whichever camera "win" the feature comparison. Price *is* a feature. And arguably one of the most important ones. Ifbyou compare two cameras
that ate nearly identical, but one has a 3" LCD an the other has a 2.5" LCD, which is better? The 3". But, if that 3" LCD coats you an extra $200, then the other camera is better. Whether you do it on a percentage or absolute basis, you need to five some
points in your comparisons for the relative prices!! -
Can you explain a bit more how you'd see it working?
What about something like: Camera A looks better, but costs $200 more, so you should buy Camera A if these features (X,Y,Z) are worth $200 to you? -
Inappropriate?Hi, I see what you mean.
I think we've got a tiny bit of what you mean, on this comparison:
http://snapsort.com/compare/Canon_EOS...
It lets you know: "The best price we've seen for the Nikon D5000 is $220 less", but what you're saying is that price should be taken into account in the overall score.
I wonder what you think about this idea: what if we calculated a score independent of price, then divided it by price to get a value, and could then recommend which camera appeared to be better overall value?
Also, we're working on something to let people prioritize which features (e.g. price) are important to them, and then recommend products based on what they're looking for.
The current method of comparing cameras absolutely without any regard for what *you* as a user might want has its limitations.
I’m thankful for honest feedback
