iPhone with its ability to synchronise the photos through iPhoto on a Mac or Adobe Photoshop Elements to Photoshop Album on a PC, has beaten many camera phones as far as data sharing is concerned. It even seeks to compete with digital cameras. The photos on your computer sync to your iPhone, enabling you to look at them and share them. You can share thousands of photos from the palm, email a photo to a friend, set it as PC wallpaper, or share it in a MobileMe Gallery.
iPhone is going so well at statistics taken from yahoo that it is leaving some cameras like Canon’s Rebel XT , Nikon’s D80 and others behind. These two SLRs whose popularity is waning with the advent of new models from the dominant makers of such cameras have been left behind by the 3G phone. Only Canon’s newer Rebel XTi. Has a lead over the iPhone.
Some points can be raised against the applicaltion of the data or the conclusions drawn. Firstly, Flickr’s conclusions are based on the number of daily uploads. It means, the camera being used regularly whether it uploads a single image daily,is supposed to draw higher ranking than the one which uploads 100 snaps on a particular day monthly. Secondly, the u se of many cameras devices is not registered because Flickr doesn’t identify them. Finally, this data changes on daily bases and the off days trends are not monitored.
We can analyse the situation better if we take into account he iPhone’s extraordinary networking abilities. iPhone’s this very strength makes its users feel comfortable with Google Maps and other online services more than most mobile phone users.
The most important aspect is how you interpret the findings. It seems from the trends that for a general user connectivity is perhaps a more important characteristic than picture quality .Certainly the iPhone’s resolution or pixel standards are different from even old cameras, not to talk about the new SLRs, but the phone’s ability to photographically communicate with dear ones is a big plus.
