Fair use rationale for Image:Chinonlogo.gif[edit]

Image:Chinonlogo.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

They manufactured Home Cinema Projectors too[edit]

I know that Chinon manufactured film projectors too. This has not been mentioned in the wiki.

A link to one of it's projector images: http://www.projectormovies.com/proj_manuals/CHINON%20SOUND%20PROJECTOR%207500.gif —Preceding unsigned comment added by Santoshmaharjan (talk • contribs) 20:42, 2 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The site projectormovies is now for sale. However indeed Chinon built movieprojectors an quite nummber of them. A.o. C-100, DS 300, Sound 6100, Sound 8500, Sound SS 1200, C-200, IQ 3000 GL, Sound 6100 Z, Sound 9000, Whisper Black (model 727), C-200 S, IQ 4000GL, Sound 7000, Sound 9500, Whisper Silver (model 727), C-200 SP, IQ Universal 8, Sound 7500, Sound SP-330, C-300, Sound 6000 - Model A, Sound 7800H, Sound SP-350 Twin Track Magnetic, Direct Sound Auto-300, Sound 6000 - Model B, Sound 8000, Sound SP300 Magnetic.

Chinon also produced filmcamera's. Not so many, but I know: Super8 606 8, Concord B, Concord 7 B, Zoom 8, Power Master Zoom 8, Facel 2. So defintely that line of production should be incorporated in the article. Sorry myself no time to do it. Anybody?

Inaccuracies[edit]

The entire Genesis range used fixed zoom lenses with no need for the K bayonet. A better example would be the CE-5, which has its own page on Wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinon_CE-5. Given that the Genesis cameras were early examples of bridge cameras, a paragraph of their own is quite appropriate. I'm not sure when Dixons became the sole distributor for Chinon in the UK - an old chap I chatted to told me he sold them from an independent store back in the seventies.
