New cameras produce raw files that are not backwards compatible with older raw file formats. These raw files are key to the highest quality and flexibility in editing.

So cool that you’ve put this together. As a big car nut my whole life, I’ve always wanted something like this.

A possible commercial application is: evaluating shopping mall customers demographic by parking lot. Real estate market shifts (possible hypothesis is vehicles values go up before commercial or residential property values). At which point, you would need to include used cars in the database.

Second, I realize make and model are the best indicators, but as interested in vehicle design and history, is there anything about the innate design or shape that looks “expensive” or looks “modern”/current. Are there patterns here that without knowing the badge? Related, do the new BMW’s look any more expensive than a Genesis if you didn’t know it was a BMW? If there was a way to remove model/make from the model, what would it say as brands that look more expensive than they are and vice versa? Which brands’ design language looks old?
