Should the name of this forum be adjusted?

Do you think this forum's name should now be:

"Canon Rebel (EOS 1000D-760D) Talk" ?

Or am i just being pedantic?

(EOS 1000D-760D) leaves out many models.

(EOS 1200D-300D) covers all the models but seems backwards to me. I think the Forum should be named (EOS 300D-1200D) as it covers all the models within that range.

Yes, it's backwards. But don't forget the 100D!

Yes, I did forget the 100D. Mine says SL1 on it and that's probably why I forgot.

So it is agreed then. The forum should be renamed "Canon Rebel (EOS 100D-1200D)"

100D-1100D it is then.

This way we miss 1 model but that model has no place and is better off forgotten.

Re: Should the name of this forum be adjusted?

No i can't agree as it's not based on mathematical numerical progression but on Canon's naming method of more numerals being the lesser models and the lower of the numbers being earlier or lesser models reading left to right.

So that being [from memory so i may miss some]:

1000D, 1100D, 1200D, 100D, 300D, 400D, 450D, 500D, 550D, 600D, 650D, 700D, 750D, 760D.

Thus to save space - "Canon Rebel (EOS 1000D-760D) Talk"

Or maybe 'Canon Rebel Kiss (EOS 1000D-760D) Talk'

Or 'Canon EOS 1000D-760D (Rebel/Kiss) Talk' <- Yeah, that's me fave!

Re: Should the name of this forum be adjusted?

Even though I don't care much for the Canon T5 (1200D) entry-level DSLR camera, it really should be part of the name (because that's Canon's choice).  Some people like and use it.

How about Canon Rebel (EOS 100D-1200D) Talk?  Really the Canon SL1 (100D) should be part of the name.

The forum should simply be called "Canon Rebel". The numbers aren't needed.

The Rebel name is not used internationally.  That is why the numbers are added to the name.

Indeed Olga is correct, hence my last highlighted "fave" forum-talk name includes the EOS numbers for Europe, 'Rebel' for North America and 'Kiss' for Japan

Formal, feisty and cute.

Once again, Rebel is not international and EOS is redundant since all Canon dSLR cameras include the EOS name.

How about "Canon Rebel/xx0D/xx00D/Kiss Forum"?

This has the advantage of covering new models as they arrive hence not requiring a forum name change with each new model.

Re: Should the name of this forum be adjusted?

Hey look, it's now changed to "Canon Rebel (EOS 300D-760D) Talk".

I was close with my first suggestion

You know, the only happy solution is to include the name of every content sales names. That means:

  • KISS my REBEL XXXd forum
