My Camera Can Beat Up Your Camera

Well Flicker has been mining EXIF data and here are the results ....

Basically 20D/D70 swapping first place from time to time.

For those that don't know about Flicker this is how they see themselves.

"Flickr is the best way to store, sort, search and share your photos online. There is a huge mass of photos in the world, and Flickr provides a way to organize yours, and for you and your friends and family to tell your stories about them."

I especially like the second stats, top manufacturers.. not that I would be tempted to brag about Canon.. again...

Not to burst you bubble ... as it could be because they are good or maybe it is just that they market many more camera models than any other Camera Manufacture.

Well.. there could be 1 billion Ferrari for sale each year, at 500,000 U$, it wouldn't find more customers I'm afraid..

So the fact the Canon makes more camera probably has more to do with demand.

Or marketing!

When it comes to cameras cheap sells.

In Canada Nikon sells only seven cameras under $500 and no cameras under $350.

On the other hand Canon sells twenty cameras under $500 and of those they sell eight under $350.

Oh boy...here we go again I like my Fuji

I just think it's pretty impressive that I own 2 of the top 5 cameras (although they don't say which Cybershot).

Nikon or Canon or Sony aside it proves that more people are buying good cameras because they are increasingly more conscious of image quality.

Hi,
I thought it was the photographer who made the shot, the camera is just a tool. Sure some have more refinements than others but in the end it's the person behind the camera who matters, especially if he/she is good with Elements.

Just in case someone would misundertand us, Grant and I aren't actually fighting or flaming each other. It's an old thing we have for our favourite camera brand.

That said, Grant, Canon fills a market segment where there is a demand (non expensive good quality cameras). Nikon doesn't. That's what I call demand.

I am glad you clarified that Ray because some of the newer forum members could get the wrong idea

Kev, I agree with you, the camera is just a tool and it is the operator that makes a difference.
