Many of those seem to be pictures taken of the dammed thing as well as by it,at the end of thye day its just a 2meg camera so doesn't compare at all with a 400D or any DSLR

You do know, that 43.7% of all statistics are made up?

Isn't the iPhone one of the most expensive to own, after adding the plan and all the apps?

Canon needs to come out with a built-in phone for the next Rebel series camera.

What graph are they looking at? The one I see, XTi is still in the lead.

As long as they keep that print from camera feature . . . it is critical!

If the Iphone has surpassed the 400d, then it only goes to show how many people on flickr could give a damn about the quality of their photos!

I dont think i would ever post a photo from a camera phone anywhere (unless it was newsworthy and i had the potential to be paid for it!)

Who gives a **** about flickr anyways? I used it for a while and couldn't stand it. Loving zenfolio!

ps. the more people that take crappy pics with cell phones makes our pictures look all that much better. :)

Actually, Jim Askew here took a few shots and posted them. Very nice. Makes my little Canon SD 850 very jealous and I don't need the 3 techie devices I take with me all the time, an ipod, a cell phone and a camera. See how this gem is so useful?

I think this points to the audience of Flickr. While they have some enthusiasts and pros, I think Flickr is like Facebook of photography, a social networking and sharing place that uses photos.

Exactly. Nothing wrong with it, but that should show one the demography of photographers on that site.
