Well what do you know; apparently the iPhone has now topped Canon’s high performance Digital Rebel XTi at the most popular camera on Flickr according to an article on latimesblogs.

The iPhone with its 2 megapixel camera has for several months kept hold of second place ranking against 2 other camera from Canon and the Nikon D80, but now for some reason the iPhone has shot to take the number one slot.

The iPhone 3GS delivered much improved photo snapping quality along with auto-focus, white balance and video but still lacks zoom and a flash which puts it at a disadvantage with such point and shooter like the 10 to 12 megapixel Canon Rebels.
