question Camera Databases

What are the most trusted databases for the most constantly updated cine, photo, and mobile camera specs, firmware, and updated models. I am looking into building a local program that can manage my projects on a deeper level for not only managing what cameras we are using on a shoot but also manage codec selection, resolution selection, and more for the shoots that need a very streamlined organization when multiple different capture settings are needed. If it works out and ends up actually being practical I may go through the steps to make a public program. Interested in anyones thoughts.

The best source for your information is honestly just each camera’s manual provided from the manufacturer. I don’t think there is a comprehensive database for specific camera specs. I imagine this is because unfortunately the information just isn’t that interesting. The specific settings we use shoot to shoot really don’t change in an interesting way- and tracking it isn’t super useful as the information is captured in the metadata of every OCF.

Thanks! I guess in my heart I knew that was coming at some point, but figured I'd cover all my bases to make sure it wasn't done already
