Hey Jeff...would it be possible to include metric measurements (for sizes of cameras) for us Downunder readers? I notice that you give their weights in metric, but for some reason use imperial for their linear dimensions.

I realise that 90% of your readers are from the US, but we've been metric for more than 30 years, so anybody younger than about 40 doesn't know an 'inch' from a hole in the ground!

For example, 0.8" or 2.7" is hard for 'non-imperialists' to conceptualise.

Cheers :)

It's pretty simple to just google "online metric conversions". There are many webpages that allows you to convert almost anything to something else.

Well, I do this in the camera database, but not in the reviews themselves... mainly because it would clutter up the table a bit more. If I ever have some free time, maybe I'll find a way to let you flip between the two.

Or just do what I do, and multiply by 2.5 to get a close approximation in centimetres. :lol:
