Guidelines for uploading images of cameras

Analogue appreciates the effort of everyone who uploads images and contributes to our database. But it is asked that before you upload images of your cameras, you take a moment to read over these guidelines to make sure they are most helpful to the community.

General upload tips

Resolution and format

The photo uploader only accepts jpeg and png files that are less than 2MB in size, so please resize and convert your 24MB RAW files before uploading 😉

Also, ensure that your photos are at least 1200px on their longest side. Generally, images in landscape orientation work best.

Compression

Yes, Analogue’s image processor does compress your photos (it’s so they don't bloat the server storage and they load quickly when people browse the site), but to avoid significant degradation of your images, it’s a good idea to do a little of your own compression first and save out a web-optimized version of your photo to upload here.

Do's and don'ts

Use white space

Across this site, images of cameras are cropped into different sizes and shapes. Bearing that in mind, keep plenty of white space around your photographs to allow for cropping. It also just looks nicer!
