The power of the data

Thursday, 29 March 2007 by Jacob Tomaw

When you take a picture with your digital camera. a lot of information is saved in the file. One bit of information is the type of camera. Now imagine millions (is it millions?) of people uploading images to a central place. It would be pretty easy to find out what the most popular camera is.

Flickr is part of the amazing world we live in today and they have the data. Check out Flickr: Camera Finder.

My 7-year old! Sony DSC-S50 is not listed among it’s brothers. I wonder if I am the old person still using this camera. Maybe I will have to see what the more popular SLRs are in a couple months for my birthday.
