World Press Photo Camera Brand Statistics: Fujifilm Grabs the Top Awards, Canon Most Represented but DSLR Declining

Share

We just reported, how Fujifilm X shooters just grabbed the top winning awards at the World Press Photo Award.

Now the Spanish site photolari made its usual World Press Photo statistic, where they sum up all the winners by brand.

Canon is still the most represented, but Fujifilm X shooters are those, who won the most prestigious awards.

FujiRumors has listed all winning cameras for each category in this post here.

Down below you can see all the stats, also compared to previous years. From 2017 to 2020, DSLR passed from 88.8% to 64.3%, and in the same period, mirrorless grew from 5.55% to 23.7%.

Overall there were 45 images awarded (1st, 2nd and 3rd place) for 8 categories. FujiRumors has listed them all here.

Again, the two most prestigious overall awards went to Fujifilm X Shooters ;).

Forget TIPA… there are other awards that count!

And I must come back to talk about the World Press Photo Awards, because we missed to highlight something in our previous post here.

In fact, not only Yasuyoshi Chiba won the World Press Photo Award with an image he took with his Fujifilm X-H1.

But in the stories categories, it was Romain Laurendeau to win, with his Fujifilm X100 series cameras.

Hence, the top 2 World Press Photo awards go all to fellow Fujifilm X shooters!

  • World Press Photo of the Year – Yasuyoshi Chiba – Fujifilm X-H1
  • World Press Photo Story of the Year – Romain Laurendeau – Fujifilm X100, X100T, X100S

And if that’s not good enough, Fujifilm X shooters won the first, second and third prize also in other categories!

Hey Jared… are you really sure about that Fuji, LOL? ;)

Fringer EF-FX II Smart Adapter Released

Share

Fringer has released an updated version of the original Fringer EF-FX smart autofocus adapter, the Fringer EF-FXII (not to mistake with the more expensive Fringer EF-FX Pro II).

The Pro version has a built-in aperture ring, whereas on the non-Pro version version you have to set aperture using the command dial on the camera body.

Here are the main features:

  • Allows an EF- or EF-S-mount lens to be used on a Fujifilm X-mount camera
  • Supports electronic communication to enable image stabilization, autofocus, as well as auto exposure features
  • Can transfer Exif data from lens to camera, saving aperture, speed, and time of capture information to image or video files
  • Metal alloy construction provides a lightweight and durable camera-to-lens connection
  • Brass lens mounting ring to prevent wear and tear

You can get the Fringer adapters:

FR-readers Wishlist Corner: Fujifilm X-TSony, Firmware Upgrade Suggestions, Lens Wishes and Much More

Share

Here on FujiRumors I get many, really many thousands of emails and personal messages a year.

There is no team behind FujiRumors. It’s me, Patrick, that’s it. And I try to reply to every single one of you, in my spare time from my day job.

I feel very privileged that such a large community comes together here on FujiRumors… but with huge fellowship, comes also huge responsibility and work.

Hence, for as much as I try, sometimes I am not really able to answer you all in a super-comprehensive way.

But I think everybody gets a reply, and surely I read ever single message I receive.

Among those messages, there are many, who express lens wishes, firmware wishes, improvement ideas and all possible things.

Today I decided to collect many of those messages I get, and put them all in one big FujiRumors readers wishlist roundup.

I would like to honor your participation as good as I can, and this little wishlist roundup, is a little sign, that whatever you tell me, I listen…. and I share :).

Have a wonderful Sunday,
Patrick
