Flickr Camera Finder
December 27th, 2006 | Published in Uncategorized
Flickr has always been good at collecting data from its community and giving it back to its users in a useful way. Now Flickr can help you find a new camera.
Flick Camera Guide tells you which cameras or cameraphones are the most popular, and allows you to compare camera quality across similar photos. If you click on a specific camera link you can view usage stats for that model, as well as product specs. Flickr adds, though, that “the graphs are only accurate to the extent that we can automatically detect the camera used to take the photo (about 2/3rds of the time). That is not usually possible with cameraphone photos and cameraphones are therefore under-represented.”
