iPhone becomes the most popular camera on Flickr

The iPhone was briefly the most popular camera on the world's largest photo-sharing site, Flickr. After slowly gaining in the site's statistics since it's launch, a massive surge of popularity in the past few months has propelled it past the previous top model, Canon's affordable,  amateur-friendly EOS400D digital SLR. The two are now practically tied for the top spot.



Even though the 2-megapixel iPhone's image quality can't be compared to that of the entry-level DSLR, its immense popularity, Internet connectivity and media sharing feature mean more people are yaking and uploading mobile photos.
