MyFive: Most Popular Cameras on Flickr

This article was written on October 14, 2007 by CyberNet.

Flickr has grown into one of the most popular photo services on the web with 12,000 photos served each second. With over 8.5 million registered members, there’s no doubt that the photos on Flickr were taken with lots of different cameras.  Flickr keeps track of the type of camera that was used to take about 2/3 of the pictures, so I thought it would be interesting to take a look at which cameras top the list.  Below you’ll find the top five most popular cameras on Flickr, as well as the top five point and shoot cameras.

    Available in black or silver, the Canon Digital Rebel XT is the most popular camera used on Flickr.  Listed at $599, this 8MP Digital SLR camera captures enough detail for “photo-quality” 16 x 22 inch prints (Amazon).

Those are some expensive cameras, aren’t they? That’s because they’re all Digital SLR Cameras which tells us that there are probably a lot of professional photographers posting pictures on Flickr.  For everyday use, many people use Point & Shoot Cameras. Here’s the list of the five most popular point and shoot cameras on Flickr:

  • Canon PowerShot SD600
  • Canon PowerShot S3 IS
  • Canon PowerShot SD400
  • Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P200
