This comes from a survey of Photobucket users:
According to the survey, consumers are using traditional video cameras with much less frequency, but they are using mobile devices to capture video much more often. In fact, of those surveyed:
- 45 percent use a mobile device for capturing video at least once a week
- 17 percent use a mobile device for capturing video at least once a day
- 9 percent use a mobile device for capturing video multiple times per day
This trend is further validated by company data, which shows a significant upward trend of video uploads:
- Total video uploads web and mobile are 3.5x higher year-over-year July 2010 to July 2011
- Total video uploads from mobile devices are 14x higher than in December 2010
