Top Cameras and Top Manufacturers Extracted From Flickr Daily Uploads

by Karl on August 22, 2006

flaggrantdisregard.com has put a great page together that monitors the EXIF data of photo uploads to flickr and extracts camera information. Here’s the top ten list of camera models:

1 NIKON D50 Nikon
2 NIKON D70 Nikon
3 Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XT Canon
4 Canon EOS 20D Canon
5 Canon EOS 350D DIGITAL Canon
6 NIKON D70s Nikon
7 CYBERSHOT Sony
8 Canon PowerShot S2 IS Canon
9 Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL Canon
10 NIKON D200 Nikon

They have also extrapolated top manufacturers, and what is pretty amazing here is that 2 of the top ten are mobile phone manufacturers, Sony Ericsson and Nokia respectively.

1 Canon
2 Nikon
3 Sony
4 FujiFilm
5 Kodak
6 Olympus
7 Casio
8 Sony Ericsson
9 Nokia
10 Panasonic

Also here’s a post with a graph of the top DSLR camera uploads

It’s amazing what people will do with data if they can get their hands on it.

Hah. I use a D50 and somehow this makes me feel good.

haha, that’s pretty funny, a little validation in your choice of cameras :-) Mind you if you take a look at the top fifty, Canon is just all over it. I havn’t made the leap to the Dslr yet, I used to have a nikon f100 that I loved, but I ended up selling all my film cameras (except of course for an emergency Nikon FM2).

I wonder what the user demographics are at Flickr.

Stats might be skewed. Looking at the list of top cameras, it looks a little too “upscale” to what I would guess if someone asked me which cameras sell the most.
