Flickr Camera Trends
Posted by Suhit Gupta in "CONTENT" @ 11:00 AM
"These graphs show the number of Flickr members who have uploaded at least one photo with a particular camera on a given day over the last year. The graphs are "normalized", which is a fancy way of saying that they automatically correct for the fact that more people join Flickr each day: the graph moving up or down indicates a change in the camera's popularity relative to all other cameras used by Flickr members. The graphs are only accurate to the extent that we can automatically detect the camera used to take the photo (about 2/3rds of the time). That is not usually possible with cameraphone photos and cameraphones are therefore under-represented."
Very interesting set of graphs and stats about usage of cameras on Flickr. Nikon and Canon seem to be up on top, and it is interesting to see the huge tilt towards the Digital Rebel XT and Nikon D70, mainly because it seems like more prosumers share pictures than people with higher end DSLRs. One of my more favorite graphs is the cellphone camera usage. Personally, it gives me a better idea about what the top cellphones are for image sharing.
