Digital SLRs are a dime a dozen these days. If you’re in the market for one, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by all the different brands and models to choose from.
One of the best ways to narrow down your list is to see what other photographers are using.
Where does one find this information? Where the photographers hang out of course!
Online this place is Flickr which is the world’s best photo sharing site.
Here are the Top 10 Digital SLRs on Flickr @ March 2009:
| Digital SLR – Brand / Model | Usage This Year / # of Users |
1. Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi (400D) |
 |
| 2. Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT (350D)
|
 |
Nikon D80 |
 |
| 4. Canon EOS 40D
|
 |
| 5. Nikon D40
|
 |
| 6. Nikon D300
|
 |
| 7. Nikon D90
|
 |
| 8. Canon EOS Digital Rebel XSi
|
 |
| 9. Canon EOS 5D
|
 |
| 10. Nikon D60
|

Looks like Canon’s top two are on the way out, possibly making way for a Nikon takeover.
Notice how Canon and Nikon dominate this list? Don’t think it’ll change (brand-wise) too suddenly either given they’ve been around for more years than I can remember. Also not surprised that my Canon 5D Mark II didn’t make the list given it’s above than average price tag.
