World Press Photo is world’s most prestigious photojournalism contest.

In 2017, Fujifilm was the only brand to break the DSLR hegemony and also in the 2016, the X-Pro1 was the only MILC to snap a winning price.

In 2019, it is still DSLR that dominates, by taking 71% of the winning photos, but it’s less than in the past:

• 2017
  88.8% DSLR – 5.55% Mirrorless – 5.55% Other
  Fujifilm X-T1 (2) – Fujifilm X100 (1) – No Other Mirrorless
• 2018
  83.5% DSLR – 11.3% Mirrorless – 5.2% Other
  Sony A7rII (4) – Fujifilm X100S (3) – Fujifilm X-T1 (2) – Sony A6000 (1) – Leica SL (1)

2019 has been Fuji’s best year so far, since Fuji X shooters snapped 4 winning images.

• 2019
  71.1% DSLR – 4.4% MILC – 8.9% Compact Cameras – 15.5% no data
  Fujifilm X-Pro2 (1) – Fujifilm X100T (1) – Fujifilm X100S (1) – Fujifilm X100 (1) – Sony A7rII (1) – Leica Q (1)

Interesting to note that Fuji’s rangefinder styled cameras win over the DSLR-styled ones, as opposed to real life, where the X-T line far outsells them all, the X-Pro, X100 and X-E line.

But at the end of the day, what matters is that we can see lots of great images at the worldpressphoto page here, and I am pretty sure you won’t care which image has been taken with which camera, but simply be captured by the stories they tell.
