It is almost 4 months since I bought Canon EOS 1000D. How is this model performing in Flickr now compared to month of December? And how about iPhone, is it still popular?

Although the graph is still showing an increasing rend, but the pace is not as fast as last year. More users use this camera that contributed to more photos uploaded. It ranks on number 10 out of 166 Canon cameras.

Apple iPhone still ranks in the top 5 of the most popular Cameras, which is calculated by how many photos uploaded using that camera in which Flickr can verify the variable representing the phone type and other pictures related attributes.
From this graph, it certainly shows that iPhone is still ‘the king’ of camera phone in Flickr. iPhone applications such as Klick that allows user to be able to directly upload pictures from iPhone to Flickr, plays a significant role for iPhone to rank this far. The whole process is just very simple.
So how is your camera performing? Head to this page for details.
So the ‘hunt‘ is over. We choose Canon EOS 1000D after reading reviews from the net, gathering opinions from friends, calculate our own budget and also the kindness/helpfulness of the sales person.
Although I favor Nikon D60 over Canon EOS 1000D, but after considering my wife request that she want something that have Live View, so I end up with this. I almost buy Sony a300 if not a bad review by 1 sales person from Fotokem, although at the other hand, she did provide not too good review about EOS 1000D (she politely asking me to get 450D instead, which is out of our budget)
I bought this camera from Canon Concept Shop at 1-Utama Shopping Mall, after testing kaw-kaw for almost 45 mins. The ‘auntie’ was nice and patiently showing us (who are noob) the features, when at the same time we pretend understand it so as not to look to dumb to her =)
Together with this camera, we got 4GB flash card, Canon EOS sling bag and tripod, which all totaled RM1990 (she said the other items is freebies). I know that this is not the best deal in the market (some more we bought it from Canon Concept shop itself), but since I wanted this badly before heading our hometown for family’s ‘Kenduri Selamat’ tomorrow, few ringgit different does not really matter (not really)
Stay tune for our first scenery photos (hopefully soon) once I mastered this camera 
This price list should provide you an idea how much your DSLR of your choice is (especially to Topo)
