Question: What is your primary production Camera?

Question: What is your area of work? (Like developer, cinematographer,...)

(Well, kinda obvious question.)

We have thousand of members? Wow :-)

Q: do you need a "like" button for posts?

Q: on a scale from zero to ten, where zero is "couldn't care less" and ten is "more important than oxygen", how would you rate the need for a pink GH3?

I think last @stonebat question is the one I'd like the most, and it's also related to the "Introduce yourself" post. I'd like to know how many of us actually "work" (by work I mean earn money) with all the gear we buy and discuss here.

6 - If you need to choose, what is more important: dynamic range or resolution?

How many years experience do you have with photography?

How many years experience do you have with videography?

How many years experience do you have doing professional photography?

How many years experience do you have doing professional videography?

How many cameras do you have?

How many video cameras do you have?

How many lenses do you have?

I think it depends on what you want to get out of it. If you want it to be easy to process data, you probably want questions with either yes/no/maybe, multiple choice, or percentage (0-100)- type answers.

If people have to type answers, processing all the answers from thousands of members would be quite difficult.

@Vitaliy_Kiselev sounds good. I think people here so far have hit on some good topics.

Types/categories of gear that people are using... Software people are using... Types of content people are making... Professional/amateur...

Perhaps it would also be helpful to know what topics/categories people find most useful.

"personal" info (age, sex, location, education, etc.)... how much you've donated to p-v... where else besides p-v do you get videography information (other websites/forums)...

what gear do you feel that you need (that you do not have)?

what are you looking for in your next camera?

what do you think p-v should focus on in order to stay useful and relevant?

Hi

Some questions that may be interesting and can be developed further.

Of course this only gives the ideas that need to be queried, but actual wording and the decision to keep the questionnaire open ended or closed end needs a lot of work. One also need to know what you are trying to find out. I used to do this kind of stuff and I can tell you a designing good questionnaire need careful planning. Choice of words are very important, so is the answers in the case of closed end questions. A good command of language and not to mention good understanding of human nature are very much needed as well. You also need to give exit routes for situations that cannot be categorized (answers like 'Not sure", "None of these" etc.). Analyzing and interpreting the questionnaire data is another ball game altogether :)
