[edit] Labels

I have removed the labels per WP:V. I find nothing on Olympus' site indicating they use these labels, and they are uncited. Cburnett (talk) 00:07, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

I haven't got the time at the moment. Just about every Oly press release announcing the camera declares who the target market is, so if any other editor has the time they can add these references using the <ref>link here</ref>. If no one else gets around to it, I'll go ahead and do it myself in a few hours. Tejastheory (talk) 01:04, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] E-10, E-20

Currently, the template doesn't list Olympus E-10 and Olympus E-20. I don't know what the brand name for this series is, so I can't add them myself. I thought I should put a note here, so a more expert user may handle it later on. hujiTALK 14:30, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

The E-10 and E-20 are not SLRs... they are large, SLR-like bridge digital cameras. ǝɹʎℲxoɯ (contrib) 14:48, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
Excellent! Are there any other such cameras from the same brand? If not, I don't creating a new tempalte would be necessary; we can merely link the two articles. hujiTALK 19:51, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
The template here is for DSLR cameras, so the E-10 and E-20 shouldn't be linked or mentioned here in any way. If anything, a new template for bridge-style cameras, or Olympus non-DSLR cameras in general, would need to be made, but I don't know if this is worthwhile or notable enough. -Tejastheory (talk) 20:09, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] E-510 as high-end?

I'm not sure if it makes sense to classify the E-500 and E-510 as high-end, now that we're using a price-based categorizing scheme. The body MSRP was only $799 at launch[1], which is BELOW other mid-range cameras like the Nikon D80 or Canon EOS 40D (labeled as Mid-range).

I think the E-510 is similar to the Pentax K10D in terms of offering features at the high end of mid-range, with a price at the low end of mid-range. So I'd like to re-label that row as "Mid-range", with a reference to the MSRP.

Any objections? If not, I'll go ahead and make this change... I just want to avoid more category edit warring, so I'm proposing it here first! ǝɹʎℲxoɯ (contrib) 00:50, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

I agree - midrange sounds more sensible Tejastheory (talk) 07:23, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
