<smile>like a camera?</smile> i do not see that? Tatoute 15:57, 10 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Well, a stylised older radio like this sort of looks a little bit like a modern compact digital camera... At least, that's what I first read at a first glance, I went "why is the visual domain so far right ?"; then I though "this is the definitely the domain of radio waves..."; and then I understood that this was actually a radio. Oh well, maybe I am weird :p Rama 12:51, 11 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
ohh... Maybe i the antenna is not very visible at the scale of the thumbs ... but in full page it seems ok? You do not think so? Nevertheless thanks for your comment, nothing weird in it ;-) Tatoute 21:24, 11 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Things which are more typically "radio-like" would be
  • antenna
  • knob on the side
  • a grid on the loudspeaker
but frankly, it is quite all right :) Rama 13:54, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Excellent suggestion (the knob on the side is present but too small i think)
I modified the picture (grid on the speaker, bigger knob), is the new version better? Tatoute 11:55, 21 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I see where Rama was going with this :), if you take out the antenna, it looks like one of the many new canon pocket camera models, but you pros probably never heard of anything other than SLRs :) --Spundun 05:11, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Are you KIDDING me?![edit]

FEATURED?! Not only am I the first person to ever notice that this picture is BLATANTLY INCORRECT (it leaves out the ENTIRE IR BAND, and the microwave band is mislabeled), not only has it been copied a thousand times and added to a thousand articles, not only is it ugly and hard to understand, but with all that, it managed to get FEATURED? That's it, I'm done defending this place. The critics are right. We're idiots. Wikipedia is a dump. 146.6.205.99 18:18, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
