This could be difficult because some observations have photos from multiple cameras, and some photos don’t have the information at all. here are some things I can imagine using such a feature for: I have two cameras, a “Main” camera, from which I regularly post the photos, and a smaller point an…

There are observation fields where you can input pretty much any existing parameters that come to mind, including camera model. And filter for personal observations works quite well. I occasionally use obs field to record elevation levels since i live in a mountainous place.

I have read through that topis before, and there does not seem to be any way to search by camera model. For my first idea, I could use a “Camera model” field, but that would require me going back and adding it to my observations, which would take a while. I might start doing that from now though.

Well, camera model does not add automatically - life’s not that easy. Although you could use Adobe Lightroom when uploading and enter all needed parameters there i think - not completely sure. Theres the thing called “Batch edit”, very useful to update multiple observatons - but make sure you clear…

I’m not sure indexing all camera models from metadata would be worth it for a niche use (although I’d be pretty curious). I generally use Flickr when searching for photos taken with cameras or lenses I’m interested in.

yeah, I don’t think I’d use this so often, and i’s not my top priority.
