Cory Doctorow: Flickr is publishing an amazing concordance of stats about the cameras used by its members: which cameras are popular, which are gaining, and so on. You can also browse photos by camera to see which ones please you most: this is the world’s best consumer-guide for cameras.
I mentioned this yesterday in my links roundup, but seriously, does Cory think the camera takes the picture? Is he so wedded to the Singularity that the human element is no longer a factor?
(seriously, I realize he’s just being a gadget-nerd, but buying a camera based on the pictures you’ve seen made with it makes as much sense as buying the same computer as your favorite writer will make a published writer. Great pictures were made before there were cameras, as we know them today. I was ranting to someone about a camera-pr0n thread on Flickr, where Leica fetishists doing what they do, so this is apropos.)
