Corrections
We make mistakes. Camera specifications get misread, prices change after an article goes live, firmware updates alter how a product behaves, and occasionally a comparison table contains a factual error that slipped past editing. When any of these things happen, we correct them publicly and as quickly as possible.
This page explains how our corrections process works, what kinds of corrections we make, what we do not change without good reason, and how to submit a correction if you have spotted something wrong in one of our articles.
Why We Have a Corrections Page
Most websites fix errors quietly. They update the text, remove the mistake, and carry on as if it never appeared. We do not think that is sufficient enough.
Readers who encountered the original error deserve to know that we have fixed it. Other publications that may have referenced our incorrect information deserve a clear record of what changed. And search engines continue to surface old versions of pages for weeks or months after publication, which means readers can arrive via cached content or third-party references long after a correction has been made.
A public corrections record solves all three problems. It creates a permanent, searchable log of what was wrong, when we fixed it, and what the correct information is. It also holds us accountable in a way that quiet edits do not.
Publishing corrections openly is not a sign of weakness. Every publication that tests real products and covers a market that moves as fast as the camera industry will get things wrong from time to time. What separates reliable publications from unreliable ones is not whether errors occur, but whether they are acknowledged and fixed when they do.
Types of Corrections We Make
Factual errors
A factual error is a specific, verifiable claim in an article that is incorrect. Examples include a stated sensor resolution that does not match the manufacturer’s specification, a quoted battery life figure that contradicts the official rating, a claim that a camera has weather sealing when it does not, or an incorrect statement about which mount a lens is compatible with.
Factual errors are corrected as soon as we confirm them. The article is updated, and a correction note is added at the top or bottom stating what was wrong, what the correct information is, and when the change was made.
Outdated pricing
Prices change constantly, particularly on platforms where third-party sellers and promotional pricing affect what a reader sees at any given moment. We do not treat a price change as a factual error, but we do update prices in buying guides on a regular schedule and add a note when a significant price shift affects our recommendation.
If a product’s price changes significantly and impacts its value, we consider it a meaningful revision and note it accordingly.
Outdated recommendations
The camera market changes quickly. A product we recommended 18 months ago may have been replaced by a newer model, superseded by a better option at the same price, or discontinued entirely. We review our most-read buying guides on a regular cycle and update recommendations when the market has moved on.
When a recommendation changes, we note it in the article with a brief explanation of why. If a previously recommended camera has been discontinued, we say so and point readers toward the current alternative we would recommend instead.
Score revisions
We revise scores when there is a specific, documented reason to do so. The most common reasons are a firmware update that meaningfully improves or degrades a product’s performance, a significant price change that alters the value-for-money assessment, or the correction of a factual error in our original testing notes that affected the score.
Score revisions are noted in the article alongside the original score, the revised score, the date of the change, and a clear explanation of what changed and why. We do not revise scores in response to pressure from manufacturers, advertisers, or readers who simply disagree with our assessment without new evidence.
Broken or outdated links
External links go dead. Retailers remove product pages when they discontinue items, manufacturers move support pages, and third-party resources disappear without notice. We update or remove broken links when we encounter them during article reviews or when readers flag them. Broken links are not noted as corrections in the formal sense; they are treated as routine maintenance.
What We Do Not Change
There is a difference between correcting an error and revising an opinion. We correct errors. We do not revise opinions simply because a manufacturer, a reader, or an advertiser disagrees with our conclusion.
If we gave a camera a score of 7 out of 10 and the manufacturer believes it deserves a higher score, that is not a correction scenario. If we subsequently discover that our autofocus test was conducted with an outdated firmware version and the current firmware performs significantly better, that is a correction scenario.
We also keep our historical record of publications accurate. If a correction is made to an article, the correction note reflects what the original text said and what it now says. We do not delete the record of what was wrong.
We do not remove articles from publication because a manufacturer is unhappy with the conclusion. If a review is accurate at the time of writing and based on fair testing, it stays live. The appropriate response to a negative review is to make a better product, not to pressure the publication into removing accurate coverage.
How to Submit a Correction
If you spot an error in one of our articles, we want to hear from you. The fastest way to submit a correction is through our contact page. You can also email us directly at corrections@dslrcamerasdeal.com.
To help us process your submission quickly, please include the following information.
- The article title and URL where you found the error
- The specific claim you believe is incorrect, quoted directly from the article if possible
- What you believe the correct information is
- A source for the correct information where one exists, such as the manufacturer’s official spec page, a published firmware changelog, or a retailer’s product listing
- Your name if you are happy for us to credit you when we publish the correction, though this is optional
You do not need an account or a login to submit a correction. You do not need to be a photography expert. If something reads as incorrect to you and you can point us to a source that supports a different figure or claim, that is enough for us to investigate.
What Happens After You Submit
We read every correction submission. When a submission arrives, the relevant editor or reviewer checks the claim against the source provided and against any additional sources we can identify. We do not reject corrections without investigation, and we do not accept them without verification either.
If the submission identifies a genuine error, we correct the article, add a correction note, and log the change. We aim to complete this process within two business days of confirming an error. For errors that are straightforward, such as a wrong figure in a specification table, the process usually happens faster. For errors that require re-testing or more involved research, it may take longer.
If the submission does not identify a genuine error, either because our original information was correct or because the source provided does not support the claim, we respond to the submitter explaining what we found and why we are not making a change. We do this because people who take the time to submit corrections deserve a direct answer, not silence.
If a submission identifies something that is not an error but is outdated or unclear, we may update the article for clarity without issuing a formal correction. In those cases we still respond to the submitter to explain what action we took and why.
Where a correction leads to a published change, we credit the reader who submitted it in the correction note if they have given us their name and are happy to be credited. We think that this fairly acknowledges the time people put into helping us get things right.
Our Correction Log
We list significant corrections to our articles below in reverse chronological order. Routine price updates and broken link repairs are not included. Only corrections to factual claims, score changes, and substantive recommendation changes appear in this log.
No corrections have been published yet. This log will be updated each time a significant correction is made to any article on the site.
