___________________________________________________

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.

Ask Flickr : Which camera is the best??

Like Topo, I’m looking for an entry level DSLR camera as well. It’s been almost 3 years since my wife bought our first digital camera, Olympus Camedia C-60. We had soooo much sweet memories with it, such as our wedding ceremony and our little Luqman photos. As time goes by, there comes the need and desire for a new and better camera, nothing other than DSLR camera.

Looking for a value for money stuff, is normally not an easy task. I have what I want in mind, although not 100% sure yet. I’ve been reading numerous reviews on the net and asking from friends of mine about what’s good and hot at the moment, but let’s keep that aside at the moment.

Why don’t we take a look at a different angle? Just like taking photos, yeah!! Flickr, being the second largest online photo sharing site has 1 nice little feature that I’ve fortunately noticed about it today. It can detect what type of camera used to take the photos uploaded automatically.

So let’s take a look what’s most popular cameras in Flickr. Hope this helps!

The first graph below showing what is the most popular cameras in Flickr.No entry level DSLR camera ranked here. Notice Apple iPhone over there??

Now, let’s go a little bit closer. Choose 1 brand, for instance Canon, which is one of the brands in my shortlist. Again, not entry level camera listed here.

Beside the graph, it is also listing down all Canon cameras used in Flickr. This is the graph of Canon EOS 1000D. As you can see, the graph is increasing dramatically towards the end of year. This is expected since 1000D is only introduced on Jun 2008. Although it is relatively new camera, but has started to gain popularity among Flickr communities. Just some stats taken from Flickr

*  4,633 items uploaded yesterday

Conclusion

It is safe to assume that the graphs are only showing the popularity of these cameras on any certain period. So the trend keeps on changing everyday depending on how many photos are uploaded. But it should give you pretty good idea about how popular they are. Trends lasted for few months before a new comer comes in an conquer the market. Another thing is, only 2/3 photos uploaded are able to be detected by Flickr.
