Thank you all for entering the Snapsort Relaunch contest. Since we relaunched last month we have been blown away by the response we have been getting, we were even featured on TechCrunch.

Snapsort Community Feedback Contest Winners

We couldn’t be happier about the great feedback we have received during the Snapsort community feedback contest.  Before we announce the winners we wanted to share a few of the most popular suggestions submitted to us:

  • The ability to compare more that 2 cameras at once
  • Linking the camera pages to other reviews, camera manuals and other information about the cameras
  • Examples of photos taken by each camera
  • Review video cameras like we review digital cameras
  • Move the score to the top of the comparison pages
  • Include LensHero lens suggestions in the camera pages

Thanks for all the great suggestions. We are working hard to make Snapsort better and we can not do it without you.
There were two categories in the Snapsort community feedback contest, one for bloggers who wrote about Snapsort and gave us feedback and another for our community. We had just over 1,000 people enter the contest, so we determined winners by using Random.org.

The winners of Contest A (bloggers):
Grand prize a Nikon D3100 body

Photojojo Coffee Mug

The winners of Contest B (users):
Grand prize a Canon Powershot SD1400 IS

  • Stu

Snapsort just got better! So we are giving away a Nikon D3100

We are excited to announce some new features that we have added to Snapsort as well as the opportunity to win some FREE STUFF (including a Nikon D3100)!

New Additions to Snapsort

  • User Contributed Videos – Sometimes words alone don’t do a camera justice.  Video to the rescue!  Snapsort has added tree types of videos:
    • Camera reviews
    • Sample videos from the cameras
    • How-to tutorials

     

  • User Voting – We recognize that many of our users know a lot about cameras and photography, and we want to incorporate that expertise into Snapsort.com. We’ve implemented the first revision of our comparison voting system. When you compare two cameras, you will be able to vote and see how other people have voted on different aspects of the camera.

 

  • More Information – The more info the better when it comes to making decisions, so we’ve added the following info to our DSLR and mirrorless camera reviews:
    • HDR – in camera high dynamic range capabilities
    • Panorama mode
    • 3D
    • Weather sealed
    • Autofocus type (contrast-detect, phase-detect, # of focus points, # of cross-focus points, lag)
    • Movie autofocus type (see above)
    • Sensor cleaning
    • External mic
    • Shutter lag
    • Battery life (# of shots per battery charge using CIPA standards)
