Flickr’s new Most Popular Camera feature

Check out Flickr’s newest feature, Camera Finder.

Its really informational for people who are interested in purchasing a new camera, especially the amateur photographers who are interested in getting SLRs and DSLRs for themselves, aka me. =)

I like Canon’s EOS Digital Rebel XT and Nikon’s D50, and coincidentally as you can see here, they are the 2 most popular DSLRs used in flickr. Wow!

This new feature is also useful in getting new ideas through your camera model. Saying for example I have a Fujifilm Finepix F810 (ranked 59th most used Fujifilm camera by the way, which is a great understatement for the model in my opinion), I can just look up for my model and see the photos that other flickr members using the same model has come up with. What I have found is breathtaking. “I DIDN’T KNOW MY CAMERA CAN DO THAT!” was what came out of my mouth.

I should really experiment with my camera before drooling over DLSRs like D50… Oh I bet I can take better pictures than Agus anyway. (He’s got a D50 for a year, and an arsenal of 2 macro lenses. His work, however, don’t really convince me.)

Meanwhile, check out aNNa Munandar’s work. From my little research she’s risen from a giggly girl(no offence Anna! with a customer brand camera to a pro with a D50, a business website selling her own work. Check out her website (http://www.annamunandar.com) and her flickr Profile. Oh, she’s Indonesian (w0ot!)

ps: My other camera FinePix F10 is number 1? I hate that camera and this speaks a lot about good marketing and bad consumer sense.
