rodeo_joe1 Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 I would have proposed this in the thread that started it, but I see it's now locked. Anyhow, as per the title, big thanks to Mary Doo for getting the annoying "assisted" epithet removed from the brand-related camera discussion fora. I don't know why nobody else had the b*lls to do it! 😉 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike_halliwell Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Yes, but this forum's title 'structure' still EXCLUDES Nikon Mirrorless cameras.......🤣🤣 I was all for Mary's inclusivity...🙂 57 minutes ago, rodeo_joe1 said: but I see it's now locked.

Sanford, did you read any of the posts regarding "Assisted DSLR & Film Cameras"? If not and if you are still curious, please follow the thread created by Mike (a question about "Assisted") that has now been changed to "Complaint about forum category labels". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why nobody else had the b*lls to do it! 😉 Yes, "assisted" was annoying. However, it did inspire me to look up Assisted Living in my community and to check out the benefits of my long term care insurance which I have been paying in for 20 years. It turns out that the benefits are not bad at all, if by any chance I will need it in the future. From time to time I find PN's benefit invaluable - and to think that many people died without claiming any benefit because they were not assisted by Photo.Net? 🤣. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmac Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 11 hours ago, Sanford said: Can someone please explain what this is about? It seems to be about the omission of the word "Electronically" ... as in Electronically Assisted Film Cameras. That's all I've been able to figure out so far. Distinguishing between ultra modern film cameras, and those that are manually operated (Classic manual cameras) I'm sure the problem arising from the definition could have been avoided if the title had been "Electronically Assisted" in the first instance, rather than just "Assisted". At least that way we would have known the way in which the film cameras were being "assisted", without vaguish meanings. Perhaps management could go back and re-title the heading to "Electronically Assisted Film Cameras", or even "Electronically Controlled" ... that would be my suggestion and input to the discussion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any sort of prefix is going to add an exclusion to the type of Nikon gear expected to be discussed. Like Nikon speedlights, bellows, lenses, motor drives, remotes, finder-illuminators and all the other bits and pieces that Nikon have produced for their camera systems over the years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian1664876441 Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 I thought for sure Nikon and Canon started making Interchangeable Mirrorless cameras. Maybe the people running the forum are using the Wayback Machine. This is pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian1664876441 Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 The Admin post in the prior thread before locking it is the worst bullshit I've seen here. They cannot run a forum, put no work or thought into organizing the forums, and then try to claim their definition of assisted applied. Stupid beyond belief, so long and thanks for all the fish.

rodeo_joe1 Posted February 24, 2023 Author Share Posted February 24, 2023 (edited) I think maybe we ought to stop poking the wasp's nest, because it's only getting worse! Now there are duplicated fora for medium and large format?? What next? A Holga pinhole gum-bichromate forum.... Oh sh*t, I shouldn't even have thought that too loud. 🤐 Edited February 24, 2023 by rodeo_joe1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then there are a few autofocus medium format SLRs, mostly of the 6x4.5 cm format. Finally there are the digital medium format cameras which can be digital backs attached to bodies, DSLRs where the digital sensor is a part of the camera body, and mirrorless medium format digital cameras which are probably the most common in new purchases today.
