Why does it say PowerShot SX30 IS under my name here in Canonrumors

[Heidrun]

I have never owned a camera like this in my life. I have a Eos 1 D mk III and not a PowerShot SX30 IS.

It's related to your post count, I assume.

CanonRumors guy, can we have a summary of post count and "rank"? Just wondering how much more drivel I need to post before I level up...

 

[Eagle Eye]

+1 post.

 

[Enrico]

that's explains alot.... couldn't match the posts from a few people with the body they had next to their names.

I am on a very low level myself (hence this post +1) but I don't really care that much.... but perhaps CR Guy couls change the "level list" from bodies (that actually can offend people) to shutter speeds and ISO or what have you.

On canonrumors page, you can go and select members from the menu at the top. It will give the members, posts and rank. If you sort by posts, it will give you an idea of the posts you need for the related rank.

After the round of new cameras is announced, the camera models representing levels will likely be updated. Who wants to be the first to be a 1Ds MK IV?

4 posts - PowerShot SX30 IS
50 posts - PowerShot G12
100 posts - Rebel T3i
250 posts - 5D Mark II
500 posts - 1D Mark IV neuroanatomist might verify this as I am not sure
???? posts - 1Ds Mark III neuroanatomist has 1125 posts, and still 1D Mark IV

Ah, perfect. Thanks! Yes, I'm lazy!

Ditto. Why does it say 'Rebel T3i' next to my name?

Surely that should read 'EOS 600D'...?

You sign on to a North American-based forum (CRguy is in Canada), you get to deal with Canon's silly names for the North American market. Would you rather it say Kiss X5?

I guess Rebel T3i is just swanky!

Hi, H,

I have never owned a camera like this in my life. I have a Eos 1 D mk III and not a PowerShot SX30 IS.

That's a membership "rank", like "Chevy", "Buick", "BMW", and "Ferrari".

I know, it's just too cutesy!

Best regards,

Doug

Or, perhaps the way they named warplanes in WWII. (Photo at the Museum of flight in Seattle) 5D MK II, no supplemental lighting.
