Some nice discussions. I agree with many, they can be confusing and never use the codes when posting.
I have been trying to learn them for over a year now.  Will have to check out Bruce Bowmans six codes.
HOWEVER the four codes I have adopted in naming files for video which I shoot. It helps keep the file names consistent and not too long when burning them to DVD for storage.
