Is it possible to map statistics for 2016 / 2014 with historical data in the Camera Finder?
Right now there are 2666 samples, and filtering resolution by your criteria they are roughly 10 / 30 / 30 / 25 / 5 %. Unfortunately it is not possible to filter cameras by announcement date or something alike.
So, if it is possible to sort out outdated cameras, if it possible to predict figures from 2018? Just sort out old data and most recent, till you get your current figures (1 / 28 / 50 / 20 / 1), and calculate "adaptation period".
PS: thank you once more for that great tool

Hi John,
Thank you for your New Year's Resolution article!
In Australia, I have found distributors have dropped many 720p camera models from their product lines so 1080p is the often the minimum resolution available. In cases where 1080p is overkill, I set the camera to 720p to conserve bandwidth.
This isn't too bad as the low light performance of newer 1080p cameras has improved and the prices are more affordable than ever.

Should we expect that in the year 2018, the most popular resolution will be 3 to 5MP?
