David Denicolò noticed that Flickr made a strange change the symbol of my Olympus em-5 from a SRL like to a compact one.Damn, they downgraded us just like that 🙂

Funny post.
I don’t use flickr, but that image does not look like a compact camera to me. It looks more like a typical mirrorless ILC camera, what with the hotshoe on top and the lens release button on the front. Do they not have a true “compact” image for non-ILC cameras?
Good call…but…actually…I just checked my Flicker Page…
There is a lack of consistency there with the above icon. My E-M1 and E-M5 Mark II get a “mini” DSLR looking icon. The icon for my actual DSLR (5D Mark III) is much larger…the icon looks like my Canon has a battery grip attached to it. Which it doesn’t. LOL.
ahhh…who cares…the photo is more important anyway.
It’s a slow news day… so they’re getting uhm ‘creative’.
a lot of P&S’s have/had a centered hot shoe but you’re right about the lens release button. Maybe the icon artist wasn’t a big camera enthusiast but apparently they are ‘adding more all the time.’ Either way imo they have more accurate icons to represent the E-M5.
Post quality has turned to shit wtf…
Do you guys even read what you are posting anymore??
Looks like a P&S to me, especially when you look at the other 39+ icons. Current threads show they are relying on users to report errors. By now you’d think they’d realize they all need to be gone over proactively if they want to be taken seriously again (by that I mean why bother having 40 icons if they can’t apply them in a meaningful way, ditch them and just use a few that aren’t so literal if they can’t handle it) but they are probably bleeding cash.
Well, it’s end of the discussion what to call the mirrorless: ILC? EVIL? DSLM? Nope – compact!
Their icon for the Fuji X-S1 also looks like a compact, not like the X-S1 (DSLR-alike), while the icon for the HS25 is a DSLR-alike. Who knows what they’re doing at flickr.
Can you tell how much this camera cost?
This icon constantly changes back and forth from compact to full DSLR every time I post a shot. Just as well since Yahoo is rumored to be circling the drain.
For those that didn’t notice it that icon is exactly like the panasonic GF1
Yeah, it really is. kinda funny.
Yeah they used to be spot-on, Now I get the same icon regardless of wether I used my GH4, GM1 or GX7, Maybe the feature just “broke” while they rewrite something. Or they gave up trying to keep the icons up to date.
