Oktrends analyzed photography from a numerical angle. They collected the data from the dating site OkCupid, one of the largest, and most interesting, datasets on the web. This article aggregates 11.4 million opinions on what makes a great photo. Their goal was to see how to take a photo to gain “attractiveness”.
The result? You are more sexy if you take the picture with Panasonic MicroFourThirds cameras!

So that’s why I’ve been so desired by women lately… 😉
Now everything is clear to me! 😉 😉 😉
Any Oly DSLR: !!!
The Olympus E-P1 didn’t even make the list? It’s easily the sexiest interchangeable lens camera out of the current bunch.
Gf1 is bland..
I guess the influx of E3 & GH1 replacement rumors are scarce these days, so we have this tuff. Come on 43rumors! Lay the good stuff on us!
@huh?
Did you even read the article? This has nothing to do with the sexiness of the camera’s themselves. This is regarding the sexiness of the pictures they take. I was a little skeptical at first, assuming that of course higher end camera’s and the people that own them, usually, will take better pictures. But OkCupid looked into this quite thoroughly and even looked at the people who own just one of those types of camera’s (DSLR, Point-and-Shoot, Cameraphone) AND the people who own all 3 types and found similar results.

Fortunately I’m not one of them

Bad news!
One more reason for keeping Panasonic MFT prices high.
Damn, now everyone knows 😛
This isn’t a rumor – everybody know that!
So where do us Olympus dSLR users fit on this graph? My guess is we are so far of the scale, to the left of course, that the graph cannot display a coloumn big enough. 🙂

The figures don’t say that a user of a certain camera is sexy BUT the pictures of the profile photos of the dating community taken with a certain camera brand are rated very sexy.
They just made up a relation between the ratings of profile pictures and the exif data of these pics.
Still I wonder where are the Oly m43 cameras? Nobody using them? I think Oly pics turn out very sexy! 🙂
Time to take some self portraits!
this is really dull. The most gorgeous camera ever has got to be the e-p1/2.
The title is flawed:
“To own a Panasonic m43 camera makes you more sexy!”
should read:
“To have a Panasonic m43 camera take your picture, makes you more sexy!
I’m sure Terry Richardson will now rush out to buy a m43… 😛
Now it is revealed why we bought our cameras! As several above have noted, us Olympus E-P photographers are off the charts!
We are sexy, therefore we buy m43. It’s not the other way round…
haha- I use OKC and I seriously got voted in the “top 10%” after I switched my photos out for ones I took with my GF1 with a low depth of field. NO JOKE hahahaha!
