About Camera Wiki
Camera Wiki (camera-wiki.org) is a non-commercial, open-content encyclopedia about cameras and photographic equipment. It describes itself as the successor to Camerapedia.org and is written and maintained by volunteer editors. The site currently hosts 10,196 articles.
Visitors can browse an alphabetical index from A to Z, look up specific camera companies, or explore cameras by type and category. Entries cover camera brands and models, with featured articles on subjects such as the Asahi Pentax, the View-Master Personal and the Calm Six. Other sections include a glossary, a list of camera links and source books, plus a community discussion area.
It suits photographers, collectors and researchers who want reference information about camera models and makers rather than shopping or how-to content. The project is supported by donations, and it directs readers to a Flickr discussion group for reporting errors or getting involved as an editor.
