Our Spanish friends at Fujistas summed it up nicely:
24 winners were selected
only 8 of the 24 images were taken with mirrorless cameras
13 images were taken with DSLRs
Fujifilm takes represents 10% of the winning images share
it was not possible to look into the EXIF of all images
The gap between mirrorless and DSLR is getting smaller and smaller. Here is the comparison to the previous years:
2022: 54,1% DSLR – 33,3% MILC
2021: no data
2020: 64.3% DSLR – 23.7% MILC
2019: 71.1% DSLR – 4.4% MILC
2018: 83.5% DSLR – 11.3% Mirrorless
2017: 88.8% DSLR – 5.55% Mirrorles
And yet, there are still plenty of DSLR users out there. At some point they might switch to mirrorless, too. And hopefully the Fujifilm X and GFX systems will be able to attract many of them.
With that out of the way, let me say the most important thing: congratz to ALL the winners. I will share the awarded images taken with Fujifilm gear down below. But make sure to check them out all at the dedicated World Press Photo 2022 page.
