Jan 12, 2015 10:49 | #2 I take from it that there are more people that own an iPhone and believe it to be a "camera" than there are people that own a Nikon and actually know how to utilize its abilities. The iPhone is a phone that happens to have a good camera attached but it is not a "camera". Obviously, this is only my opinion. 6D | 5D4 | 24-105 f4L | Sigma 50 2.8 Macro | 17-40 f4L| 135 f2L | 70-200 f2.8L ii | Sigma 35 1.4 Art | Canon 24-70 ii

Is there even a surprise? Who cares. We're talking Flickr. If were talking cover of National Geographic, or any other serious medium, other than a web-photo-social-media site, maybe it would be more meaningful. Very best, Yes there is a surprise. This wasn't the situation last year. Your insinuating that Canon is next? and so what? Long live the iPhone!

I will say that my iPhone 6+ takes pretty decent pictures, enough that I will never pick up a point and shoot ever again. Canon 60D | Canon 15-85 | Tamron 70-200 f2.8 VC| Canon 50 f1.8 | 420EX

I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or not. If not, then yes, there is a Flickr app for iPhone that can auto-sync photos in the camera roll up to Flickr.

gonzogolf dumb remark memorialized More info | Jan 12, 2015 15:45 | #10 The recently upgraded apps mean more camera phone users are using flickr. So its more about a change in the flickr user base thsn it is any fundamental recent change in camera brand usage. I recently had to counsel a camera phone junky whose profligate snapping tended to fill her Iphone memory to the point where it affected performance. She resisted deleting any photos and wouldn't back them up via the usual methods. I convinced her that the flickr app would work to free up space and was simple enough to appeal to the technophobe in her.

The problem with analyzing the data from that table is what it lists is cameras owned. Many if not most DSLR owners as well as mirrorless owners are also likely to own a Smartphone. Flickr (in that table) does not break down how it obtained that data, but if they did by using the EXIF, all the information is saying is that during the year a certain percent of people uploaded at least one photograph with the device listed on the list.
