Study reveals the most popular cameras in every country, based on

millions of Flickr photos

Flickr is the greatest slide show carousel in the world. And serious photographers love to let
their audience know that they’re using the greatest cameras to fill it.

While Instagram has become a platform for memories and ‘content,’ Flickr is where
photographic quality and technique set the agenda. Flickr may have fallen out of the
limelight when camera phone photography and social media emerged as perfect partners in
the late noughties, but professionals and enthusiasts continue to gather there to share notes
and discoveries.

Technique is hard-won, but knowing the camera, lens, f-stop, etc., that a photographer used
to get a particular effect narrows down the variables. And, thanks to the metadata-storing
capabilities of digital camera devices, Flickr’s photographers tend to broadcast their set-up
by copying the metadata of their photo files over along with their snaps.

As SimpleGhar demonstrates with our latest research project, collectively, this data reveals
the ‘go-to’ cameras and camera phones that Flickr’s photographers are using around the
world.

Key findings from the study include:

● The most popular photography device brand in the world is Apple, accounting for
150,787,710 photos on Flickr - 31.79% of the total.

● The most popular model is the iPhone 11, which has 13,212,135 tags on Flickr.

● The iPhone 12 Pro Max is the most popular camera phone in the U.S.

● The Canon EOS 5D Mark IV is the world’s most popular standalone camera, with
11,761,586 photos on Flickr.

Methodology

To discover the most popular camera brands, camera devices and camera phones used
around the world, SimpleGhar considered more than 470 million photos that have been
uploaded to Flickr.com and tagged with the name of the device that was used to
photograph.

To discover the most popular camera and camera phone used to photograph in every
country, they analyzed up to 5,000 of the most recent photos uploaded to Flickr in the
world’s 100 most populated countries. They then ranked which camera and camera phone
model was tagged most often as the device used to take the photos within each country.

Their final rankings removed any countries that were heavily skewed (50% or more photos)
by one Flickr user.

The data for this research was collected in March 2023.
