Flickr serves as the storage bin to some of the world’s most skilled photographers.

Among cameraphones Sony Erricson’s K750i leads the pack, followed by Nokia’s N70. My cellphone (N73) ranks 3rd among cameraphones.

How does Flickr collect these stats ?

All new cameraphones and digital cameras save EXIF (Exchangeable Image File) data. Information like shutter speed, date and time, focal length, exposure compensation, metering pattern and if a flash was used are stored along with the photo.

Since few camera do not stores these data, the graph presented by Flickr may not be so accurate. Well, does these stats mean anything for you?
