So, even if the iPhone’s camera is not exactly the best around, it seems it’s widly popular, as can be seen in flickr’s camera stats:

I can’t say I use the iPhone a lot for shooting pictures (appart from the occasional family shot or for taking a picture of my parking space number at the airport, so I won’t spend 1hr looking for my car when I fly back…), since I’m the happy owner of a Nikon D80 DSLR, which is a really nice camera (check my flickr stream) but I can definitely see why the iPhone would be so popular.

With the unlimited data plan and 24/7/365 EDGE connection, it’s really easy to snap a picture then email it to your flickr account. And you can say what you want, but EDGE is alright for most uses… In April I went to the Aiguille du Midi near Chamonix, France. That’s 3842m high for you, and I was able to take a picture of the amazing scenery, then email it to a bunch of people right from up there!

So, yeah, I can definitely see why the iPhone rules flickr’s cameraphone stats.
