DSLRs ed for 33 percent, up from 25 percent in 2016, and point and shoot cameras ed for 12 percent, down from 21 percent in 2016. Mirrorless cameras remained at 4 percent of total s for the third year in a row, according to the Apple iPhones ed for 54 percent of the top 100 devices on the list.

Among the iPhone models, the iPhone 5s. Also, Canon came second on this list of top 100 devices, with 23 percent share, followed by Nikon with 18 percent. Rest of the brands took up a meagre 5 percent in the list. This study is based on results from Flickr's 75-million base.

Another interesting development this year is that usage of DSLRs went up to 33 percent from last year's 25 percent, prompting a decline in usage of point-and-shoot cameras. What next year holds is not known but looking at the popularity of Apple's latest iPhone X, it won't be a surprise that Apple triumphs the 2018 list with even better numbers.
