Camera Link Stopped Working

June 3rd, 2019
This might be a silly question, but I was wondering if anyone else uses or occasionally uses the camera link in the photo information? Whenever I see a photo that has great details and sharpness I will occasionally click on the camera link just to see what kind of camera was used for taking that photo. It will take you to Amazon and you can look at the specs for the camera. But lately whenever I click on the link I go to Amazon and it will show the camera id such as, "Canon EOS 70D" and then it always changes to a "Canon PowerShot SD1300 Is" no matter the make or model of the camera used for the photo. I am guessing it is a glitch with Amazon since when I click on it it initially shows the right camera model but as it loads it goes to the Canon PowerShot?

I've used that link also in the past and have recently noticed the same thing.

Yep, same for me too

Yes, it's been like that a while now

Oh good! Well it is good that is not my computer or something on my end. Not good in that it takes a few more steps to get that information!

Thank you for your replies!

I had noticed. Used to be I would check on the camera used for shots that I admired. But I have been getting the same results as you, Skip.

@rhernan - Thank you Rosie for the reply. I've never had any problems before but lately after a Windows 10 update I noticed other things not being like they used to be. I thought that this might be one more thing.

Probably worth flagging to Ross @scrivna
- the Amazon affiliate link formatting may have changed recently or something like that.

@Scrivna - Hi Ross,
I got a notice of the above post offering free, generators and uploader. I didn't click on any of them for fear they could be links to malware sites. I thought it odd as it has nothing to do with my question which you had already resolved.
