The best camera, as Chase Davis put it, is the one that’s with you when there’s a photo to be taken.
By that measure, Canon is still the best — at least on Flickr, the granddaddy of photo-sharing sites.
But the iPhone is closing the gap. With 9.6% of photos posted in 2014, it overtook Nikon (9.3%) and drew within a few percentage points of Canon (13.4%).
In terms of cameras owned by Flickr members, iPhones are the most popular by far.
