Flickr Flickr graphs the site’s most popular cameras.It looks like the point-and-shoot camera is quickly heading to the gadget graveyard. May it rest in peace next to your old VCR, Sony Walkman and Atari game console.
According to graph that show the top cameras used on Flickr, the social photo Web site, the iPhone 4 is quickly becoming the No. 1 camera among its users. The graphs include the camera of any Flickr member who has uploaded at least one photo or video over the last year.
Flickr last year said that its users were uploading 130 million photos to the site each month. Flickr doesn’t offer precise information about the number of photos or percentage share for each camera.
The graphs show that digital S.L.R. cameras are still used regularly by the Flickr community. But in terms of overall share, the iPhone 4 is only slightly behind the current most popular camera, the Nikon D90, a $900 digital S.L.R.
There have been reports that the next iPhone will include a Sony 8-megapixel camera, which could signal trouble for the digital S.L.R.’s too. For now, it’s the point-and-shoot cameras that are being battered by the smartphone.
