DPR: Rename the Forum?

Says EOS 200D-800D for the title forum. However, there is also a 100D and an 850D too, so it should read EOS 100D-850D to avoid any confusion.

That sounds like a good idea to me.   This might have been brought up a long time ago when someone noticed the Canon SL1 (100D) camera was missing.  But the Canon T8i (850D) camera has been around for quite a while, so it makes sense to update the name.  They might as well add both the 100D and 850D in at the same time...at least that is what me thinks.

Yep! And that is exactly what I suggested.

Yes, that would be a good idea.

There is also the 1000d, 1100d, 1200d, 1300d, 2000d, 4000d models - They are also rebels.

Perhaps the name should be "Canon Rebel (100D-4000D) Talk"

Re: DPR: Rename the Forum?

Yep, good point.  Even though I do not care for those entry-level Rebels without in-camera sensor cleaning, that should not matter.   You are right.  A lot of those cameras are sold and used, so they should be included.

The 1200d was my first DSLR (ILC, too).

Yes, the sensor cleaning is really useful.

Why not just "Canon Rebel Talk"? That would be a bit more future-proofed, IMO.

Re: DPR: Rename the Forum?

That would work too.  Do they call these 100D to 4000D Canon DSLR cameras Rebels outside of North America?

Re: DPR: Rename the Forum?

My understanding is they're called Rebels in the US, Kiss in Japan and *D elsewhere.

Okay the final name change would be

Canon EOS Rebel/Kiss (100D-9000D) Talk

9000D is the 77D in Japan, Kiss x10i is the 850D in Japan

This covers all models and everything in-between. It's settled

That would probably be best.

Re: DPR: Rename the Forum?

I guess so.

The way things are looking (mirrorless!) there might not be any new rebels.

Yeah, probably.

There are so many shooters still out there with these cameras though and they allneed to know they all have a forum to discuss their "dinosaur" cameras
