iPhone had entered the list of best camera devices on Flickr, in 2008. And since then, the 3G version has been topping the list, and is still the best camera device, beating a range of digital and SLR cameras too. Most of the times, Flickr automatically recognizes the camera model if the photo is uploaded unedited. In this, the direct upload option of the Apple iPhone always comes to the best use as the pictures are directly uploaded to Flickr and easily recognized by Flickr.
The iPhone 3G smartphone beats the following cameras in the list of “Most Popular Cameras in the Flickr Community” –
- Nikon D90
- Canon EOS Digital Rebel XSi
- Canon EOS 5D Mark II
- Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi
In the separate list of only the top smartphone cameras, the top 3 positions are taken by the different models of iPhone. The top 5 in the list are –
- Apple iPhone 3G
- Apple iPhone 4
- Apple iPhone 3GS
- HTC Evo 4G
- HTC Desire
Looking at this, one can take one more assumption – This is not all about the camera of the iPhone, but it’s about the user interface and the ease of uploading the pictures to flickr. The SLR and DSLR camera users have to edit and crop the large photos before uploading them to flickr, and so the count automatically lessens as no one would want to spend loads of time doing all the stuff.
