Choice field for camera make and model?

[Maik Qualmann]

Gilles,

Look in this closed bug 228015. In the advanced search we now have the 
possibility to search for a specific or several lenses. The same choice field 
filled with data from the DB I would also suggest for camera make and model. 
Currently a free text field.
