> With the Manufacturer & Model info from the tag you could make an educated guess about professional vs. non-professional photography and draw conclusions about website's intent. That is really bad IMO. I don't want my images judged on which camera I used. I want them judged on their content. I don't decide which book to read based on what program was used to edit the book. I don't watch a movie based on what software was used to edit it. Why would I judge a picture based on what camera was used? If sites start judging content by camera then there will be an incentive to edit the EXIF info to make it appear the best camera was used.

>I don't decide which book to read based on what program was used to edit the book. Yes you do. You read books published by major publishers that adhere to a certain quality or standard. You don't read books that were hand-written on a banana leaf. >I don't watch a movie based on what software was used to edit it. Ever seen Battlefield Earth? Didn't think so. >Why would I judge a picture based on what camera was used? Usually one is oblivious to the camera used for a picture. However, the camera used does indeed correlate with the quality of the image. The better the camera, the higher quality the picture. This gives information about the site owner's intent for content.
