Is there a way to search Flickr photos by camera type?

Question

Weekly, I tend to browse the Explore section or sometimes basic searches to see if I can reproduce any shots. To keep things realistic, I do not own a DSLR so a lot of shots are ignored. Is it possible to filter searches so that I can only get a certain camera type.

Where the camera type is displayed in the Additional information section. I know there is the Camera Finder Setup (e.g. photos with iPhone ) How about the reverse ? Searching photos then applying the filter ?

The reason for this is that say I wanted to check only Creative Commons-licensed content , I would select this in advanced search... but then I lose the camera filter. (maybe I am missing a step)

Answer 1

The advanced search does seem to lose the camera finder filter. If you copy the URL argument for the camera type;

&cm=apple%2Fiphone_3gs

and paste it in at the end of your CC licensed software search

http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=tree&l=cc&ss=0&ct=0&mt=all&w=all&adv=1&cm=apple%2Fiphone_3gs

You can get the results you require. A bit hacky but it does work.

Hope this helps.
