Apple Is More Popular Camera Brand Than Nikon On Flickr
Apple has passed Nikon to become the second most popular camera brand on Flickr, according to the data released by Flickr. Canon remained the most popular camera brand on Flickr.
The 2014 top overall camera brands owned on Flickr were:
- Canon - 13.4%
- Apple - 9.6%
- Nikon - 9.3%
- Samsung - 5.6%
- Sony - 4.2%
In 2013, Apple followed Nikon by nearly 1 percent of margin, however this year the popular camera brand is lagging behind Apple's devices.
Flickr also released a list of top mobile device cameras used on its website where as usual Apple dominated the list. Apple iPhone 5 was the most widely used mobile camera, followed by iPhone 4S, iPhone 4 and iPhone 5C. Samsung Galaxy s3 and Galaxy S5 made to the 5th and 6th position respectively.
Due to recent launch, iPhone 6 was at the 7th spot, followed by Apple iPad, HTC One and Apple iPad Mini.
Certainly, the data by Flickr is not yardstick to measure rise or fall of a brand, as the service is used by professionals who use camera from traditional brands as well as amateurs who have just started exploring photography with their smartphones. Though, it is interesting to see Apple's hardware edging out big brands photography
