iPhone: Flickr’s 2nd Most Popular Camera, Sorta

Forget being the most popular camera phone on Flickr. The iPhone is now the 2nd most popular overall camera for Flickr users. In fact, it’s the only phone listed in the top 5.

Yesterday, 5,489 users uploaded some 43,750 images that were shot via iPhone. For comparison, 6,287 users toting Canon’s 10.1 megapixel EOS Digital Rebel XTi (the #1 camera), snapped 109,306 images during the same time period.

Impressive, however, it’s worth noting the numbers appear to be inflated. We’re on the third incarnation of the iPhone &mdash with improved optics, of course &mdash and yet Flickr seemingly lumps ALL iPhone images together.

Fair? Or should each model iPhone be counted separately, just as each and every Canon, Kodak and Casio model?
